Underrated life skill: Be a multiplier. Teach what you know, help others advance, connect dots... with no strings attached. Ironically, it's one of the fastest ways to level up your own life as well. Want more success? Be the reason someone else gets theirs.

PT Clinical Reality: I’m still ruminating on the fact that in one week I can: -Hear about how PTs should be considered “Primary Care Providers” And also -Get a call from a “DPT” asking for a protocol for a THA. Still screaming: “Raise the floor before the ceiling!”

Seeing as it’s currently shutdown The government is kinda like a Diathermy machine: -It looks really important -Most models are outdated -It doesnt really do what it says it does & -It primarily runs on a bunch of overpriced hot air. Happy National Physical Therapy Month 🙂

REMINDER: Disney threw Kimmel off the air as its execs are right now begging Trump's DOJ to approve its purchase of Fubo. Nexstar & Sinclair threw Kimmel off their stations as they are begging the FCC to weaken media ownership rules. FOLLOW THE MONEY👇 https://t.co/W6ntR5erOZ

Millions of people are going to see that commercial, including the byline under Julie's name where it says ATHLETIC TRAINER. Curious kids are going to google that and learn about the profession. This is what we have all wanted for decades. Take the W.

The play on words Trainor/Trainer is what makes it so they can send the message not to settle for just any "trainer" when you could have the expertise of an "athletic trainer." They could have used an actress. They didn't. They used the expert.

Make no mistake, this doesn't happen without Patrick Mahomes publicly, and repeatedly, giving Julie credit for leading him through his injuries.

What is actually happening here is awesome for ATs. State Farm approached one of the most talented and most widely known NFL players on the planet and said "we want to make a commercial about the relationship you have with your AT."

If you are an athletic trainer who watched the new @StateFarm commerical this weekend and your first instinct was to angrily shout "THEY CALLED HER A TRAINER!" You are are missing the forest for the trees.

The Cost of Care: From 2024 to 2025, my health insurance premium (family of 4) jumped $435/pay. That’s $11,310/year more to Anthem. The ACA allows Anthem to take 20% of that as profit. That’s $2,262 more profit than last year. That’s also $9,048 extra to spend on healthcare.
