YouTube video of his presentation
Bubba and I took a road trip to South Padre Island to cover SPATS hosted by the Valley Athletic Trainer’s Association.  We recorded the sessions and interviewed almost all of the speakers.  Some of the recordings pick up noise, but this is a live event.
All the lectures and handouts will be uploaded to Google Drive.
Once the school year resumes we will return to our regular format.
Thanks to
Robbie McFarlin @ FrioHydration.com
Bubba Wilson – my driving buddy
Jazmin Dozal  Nicole Cascia and several others for the contributions.
Also be sure you are signed up for the SMB Email List as there will be codes and prizes given out from that list for our partnership with SchoolHealth.com
SPATS is truly an awesome conference.  If you want to relax and learn and enjoy networking, camaraderie and island life, I highly recommend checking this out for yourself. Use the coupon code “SMB” and see if it gets you a discount.
