In preparation for a recent podcast I asked:

I got a lot of great stories and knew we had to share them here on the podcast.
Possibly my two favorite were
Bubba Wilson joins me as we read these tweets and add some commentary. I loved these responses. I have screenshotted most of them and pasted them in the show notes.
Also, Laurie Beth gave a shout out to her mentor Leah Cox and we read it on the show. Always remember the ones who got you here.

Cathy Supak and Thomas Petmecky were student athletic trainers together at Southwest Texas State University. That university has since deteriorated with age and a new one has been built to replace it called Texas State University
They have 66 years of experience combined and have seen many things that seem strange or did just not seem right.
My favorite story is Thomas's last. If nothing else skip to the end and here his last story of a kid putting his shoulder back in place.

Johnny Gomez runs a high quality sports medicine program in Springbranch's Northbrook High School. Consistently carrying 25 – 35 student workers to aid in his sports medicine program he give ownership and leadership to the students as well as opportunities for student growth through summer camps.
Mike Harrison, Mary Miller and Chay Nersesian are three of the Athletic Trainers at Allen High School, one of the states powerhouse athletic programs. When Athletics are a huge success there is equal pressure for the sports medicine team to be a high functioning machine. Carrying 55+ student athletic training aides is tough to do, having that many get a long and work together for years is an amazing accomplishment.

Dr. Jim Berry wrote an article back in 1993 about using an old commodore computer to keep track of athlete visits, injuries and costs. He has continued to demonstrate the value of the athletic training staff through the years.
Dr. Kathy Dieringer has presented at national and regional meetings about the need for Athletic Trainers to collect data and use that data to improve the position of athletic trainers across the nation. A small win has a snowball affect and can positively impact any number of Athletic Trainers and the patients they care for.

Chris Shaddock is my Guru for promoting your Sports Medicine Program. He works hard, has great ideas and great support. He is a guy in Athletic Training you want to try and be like.
Greg Goerig and Casey Lougheed work together at Midloathian Heritage High School and are building a reputable and respected program for Sports Medicine.
The biggest takeaway for promoting your program is getting kids who can really meet high standards and represent your program well. Once you have a core group of high quality student helpers then they will promote your program naturally.
Some of our other ideas:
Scavenger Hunt
Lock-ins
Big NATM promotions
Elected officials creating proclamations for NATM
Inter-school competitions
Mass Physicals
Mass CPR training
Regular presence on the Junior High campus
