Update: we beat the rain! Now it’s just humid af. The Midwest wouldn’t send me off without a little humidity, tho!

And we’re off! My copilot and I are ready for the next adventure 😎 Road trip fun: my copilot needs a name! Gimme your best ideas 🐥

Allons y! After a breaded pork tenderloin and sweet tea dinner last night (it’s a Hoosier thing), Ducky asked if we could stop at Lucas Oil Stadium, but I’m not as waterproof, so we waved from a distance. I have a feeling we may be seeing other ducks today, though!

I was right! Ducky and I stopped for lunch in Perrysburg, and a dip in the pool with a sailor duck! Thanks Matt Kutz! FIU Athletic Training

Ducky says thanks to ATicecreamclub member Kyle Rutledge, MS, MHA, AT, ATC for the ice cream stop idea! Skoops is just as good as your pics show 😋

I don’t think we’re in Kansas any more, Ducky! My copilot has never seen so many hills &roundabouts 🤢 Western PA wins for smoothest roads, tho! Dyk it’s illegal to sing in the tub, sleep on a refrigerator outdoors, & catch a fish with your hands, mouth or feet in Pennsylvania?!

“Qui Transtulit Sustinet” is the Connecticut state motto. Any guesses what it means? “He who transplanted still sustains” Very appropriate for a traveler looking to start a new adventure! 😁 We made it, Ducky!

First day on campus at UConn & I already made a friend! Going from a solo #SSAT to a club sports GA is a big adjustment. Preseason is *very* different than what my NATA SSATC friends are dealing with right now. Yall are rockstars! This fall’s going to be awesome for you & me!

First day of 23rd grade for this perpetual student. I’m physically at UConn, but I’m mentally starting the last semester of FIU Athletic Training DAT today too. Best of luck to all teachers &students starting another year& to everyone else, every day is a chance to start a new adventure! LFG!

Service is one of the best things you can do as a professional. I encourage all to get involved, and here are some opportunities in Illinois. We’d love to have you join our team.

This #SSATforlife is really missing #FridayNightLights right now. NATA SSATC tell me all about your games tonight, so I can live vicariously. Who has the worst week 1 injury? Whose players forgot something back home? Who’s got rockstar student aides? Who saw a sunset like this?

THIS is how clinicians “do scholarship”!!! It’s not difficult! There are many excellent publications out there, but we need to be critical of *everything* we read, even the stuff that gets in peer-reviewed journals. Like Sarah says, advocacy starts with you being a good reader

Ep34 of the Kutz& Dr. Jeff Konin Leadercast: Personal Branding There’s a delicate balance between self promotion and bragging. Be intentional when cultivate your brand, but not so much that it’s 100% about you. Make sure your team is who you’re proud to be with, then elevate them!

Whoever writes the commentary for this weather report is my kind of midwesterner! And you know it’s a midwesterner, because we’re the only ones who revel in “good sleeping weather.”

Ep35 of the Kutz & Dr. Jeff Konin Leadercast: Leadership transitions & succession planning “Your legacy is not how things are done, your legacy is how you will be remembered” Things will change after you leave! It’s inevitable! Good leadership is setting your successor up for success

Can’t wait for my check to come in the mail for living as an extra on the set of a Hallmark movie!

California ATs: tell Governor Newsom to sign AB 796! With California being the ONLY state left without professional protections, we are just steps away from that finally changing. NATA votervoice.net/mobile/NATA/Ho… #athletictraining #california #CATA #sportsmedicine #ab796

Thanks to my new job, I see a lot more hockey in my future! The smell is atrocious, but I could definitely become a hockey fan if it means hanging out in here. Now, who wants to teach me the ins & outs of the rivalries and such…?

They say research is often “me-search”. So I’m “in the lab” today, studying work-life integration 😆 Spent the day at UConn Avery Point catching porgy and getting seaweed in my kayak! Now, how to turn that into a summer job…

Ep36 of the Leadercast is special. Our friend Matt Kutz is facing the biggest PIVOT & we’re all here to support him! What does it mean to PIVOT?podbean.com/wlei/dir-4nu28… Donate to his GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/help-turn-my… And run a 5k w/us on Sep 21! I’ll be running in CT🏃‍♀️FIU Athletic Training
