The Sports Medicine Broadcast

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 Contact: Chris Shaddock @fabu_AT Greg and Casey @HHSJagsAT From NATA PR chair Jamie Woodall: https://www.nata.org/marketing-communications-pr-resources https://www.nata.org/sites/default/files/prstylebook.pdf  

Jeff Hopp, Athletic Trainer at Marietta High School in Marietta Georgia, Is Vice President of SEATA and well versed in the rules and practical application of both HIPAA and FERPA. If I was to sum up all the answers into one sentence it would be non-specific with information and there is a lot of grey area and overlap with the two. FERPA basically deals with the records a school collects on the students. HIPAA is meant to protect privacy and allow communication between healthcare professionals who share care for a common patient. HIPAA – If you are billing for services you are most likely falling under HIPPA FERPA – not everyone in the school needs to know about the medical condition.  Only the ones directly responsible for or who have a vested interest in the healthcare of the athlete should be in the loop. There is lots more and Jeff is willing to help you work through your questions Links Jeff wanted to share: Here is some good FERPA info: https://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html Good HIPAA info: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html A good article about HIPAA/FERPA  for AT’s: http://training-conditioning.com/2009/08/02/a_private_matter/index.php A good article that talks about pictures and social media posts: http://edlawinsights.com/2016/05/05/before-you-upload-that-student-photo-ask-what-would-ferpa-have-me-do/ Contact Jeff Hopp YouTube Show Notes Contact Me on Twitter   DragonFly Max is HIPAA and FERPA compliant

Justin Buzzard is an Author, Speaker, Pastor and most importantly Husband and Father.  In his book Date Your Wife he charges men to really look at marriage as the ultimate call to action, life long action, daily intentional action. After reading the book and implementing some of the practices I asked a few Athletic Trainers to read it and apply it to their marriage. Vidal Mora commented- Dating your wife means to guard and cultivate her, the little stuff such as watching the kid and letting her go get some coffee alone, go for a walk, watch a tv show alone without interruptions is dating your wife, for you try to take some time together send your child to a babysitter and spend time with your wife alone in your house. I know first hand things can get sometimes overwhelming with life (wife/kids/work), humans need that alone time in my opinion, because sometimes my wife and I can't even remember our lives before kids. Josh Dawsey writes: This book, even though I'm still finishing it, has really adjusted my view of my marriage, and how I view Stephanie. It has laid out some tough challenges, but in the coming new year I want to be more intentional at dating my wife. The book showed me that there needs to be a strong foundation and then I need even stronger pillars to support my wife, my son, and our marriage. Hopefully throughout this journey of marriage and dating we rekindle some flames that have died and set ablaze some fires already there. Lastly, I want my young son to see a great example of how he should pursue his future spouse and how to treat her once he marries. Thank you for including me in this time together and I hope we can keep chatting about how our journeys are going.

Jodie Kennemer, legal counsel for PISD, shares tips and thoughts to help keep ATs out of legal trouble on social media. We work through her presentation and provide general advice but then dig deeper into the more grey areas that we might not consider as being questionable. A couple of basic rules: If you think its questionable then it is. Never post or while in in altered state of mind (drunk, angry, traumatic events…) If you would not say or show it to your young child don't say it on social media. Make sure that your account is open to parents and admin. 90% of inappropriate relationships involve texting or messaging of some sort. Tools: Remind – keeps numbers private and all messages can be seen.  It also allows you to set office hours so messages before or after a certain hour receive a warning. Hootsuite – can schedule posts for multiple platforms and can also give access to another person to help manage and edit posts.

Helicopter parents area parents who take an overprotective or excessive interest in the life of their child or children according to Dictionary.com Owen Iseminger works with more affluent students and parents who tend to be in this group more often.  Through 8 years in this setting he has learned some tips and tricks for dealing with Helicopters. * Be on top of your evaluations * Explain multiple possibilities and how the rehab plan will help the total body.   * Don’t be annoyed or upset if they want a 2nd opinion. * Set them up with the best physician you can even if something minor, they expect to see the best. * Win trust of other parents.  They talk to each other and good gossip about you goes a long way. * Make them feel like their child is important, if they feel like they are 1/100s they won’t accept that. * Always stay professional * Go the extra mile to update them on injuries * Have coaches support, as they will go ask coach about the athletic trainer or for updates. *  Even if kid is not injured, have a relationship with the parent, even if it’s, just a simple hello and asking how their kid is doing.
