https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfb5dsmDzGA

Mark Stubblefield worked 12 years with Minor League Baseball after earning his Master's Degree.  He is now the medical coordinator for the health care of 230 minor league umpires in 45 different states.

His top skill if you want a job similar to his: Communication and Network.

Low back pain is one of the most common issues they treat but they do a functional movement screen on each umpire at the beginning of the year to focus on preventative medicine.

They also recommend the nutty buddy for important protective equipment

Thanks Greg Evans for getting me in contact with Mark.
