Using Google drive makes sharing documents and data between co-workers super easy.  It has also saved me from having to carry a flash drive around or from being able to work from only one computer.

We also Use RankOneSport for our online physical forms, treatment logs and injury report forms which has been a huge time-saver.  this also has the emergency cards for the coaches to print and manage their own paperwork.

Rhabdomyolysis from a Patient Perspective – 319

Carmen Solis caught the perfect storm of plane flight, elevation, dehydration, new protein shake, different environment and a slightly new routine to catch a case of Rhabdo.

Dr. Rehal Bhojani explains the facts as he sees them and gives great insight to us in identifying future cases of Rhabdo.

Urine color charts in every stall (male and female) are a top recommendation.  Muddy / orange urine is almost always an indicator of Rhabdo.

Help prevent Rhabdo by easing your athletes back into workouts.  Gone is the idea of “we are going to kill them and make men out of them.”

How You can win with Personal Finance – 310

Jared Plummer has paid off $50,000 in debt in about 3 years by making choices that were different the what he was used to.

I, Jeremy Jackson, paid off $68,000 in debt in 22 months, has 6 months of expenses less than 10 years left on the mortgage and thriving with a single Athletic Trainer's income family of 5.   We are no longer living paycheck to paycheck, we just paid $6,600 to have our air conditioner replaced and didn't miss out on anything because we had saved up for home repairs and emergencies.

Shawn Ready is just looking into winning with his money.  Jared and I are happy to walk along side him and encourage all athletic trainers to be intentional and have a plan rather than wonder where your money went.
