Welcome to the Sports Medicine Broadcast, I am your host; John Ciecko along with Jeremy Jackson as we finish our second series on Leadership in Athletic Training with a little bit of a change of pace. Today we are covering a children’s book “Only One You” by Linda Kranz
Back in August my assistant’s young daughter Mila, handed me this book and asked me to read it to her while we’re in the midst of planning our fall. I couldn’t help but notice the great leadership tips given out in this book and knew I had to have it as part of our series.
We’re going to do things a little different today and actually read the whole book! As we go through each one, Jeremy and I plan on discussing them as we feel they relate to our profession and how we can adapt lessons the last 2 years and from a children’s book to our everyday practice.
