San Antonio Sports Medicine Podcast
The San Antonio Sports Medicine Podcast is our answer to creating a go-to informational resource for the Athletic Trainer in South-Central Texas. We are a group of Athletic Trainers working for the largest medical provider in our area. Our circle goes east to west from Gonzales to Brackettville and north to south, south Austin to Cotulla. While having a workforce of over 100 athletic trainers and partnerships at over 170 programs, we strive to be the communication point for thousands of athletic trainers, coaches, parents, and athletes. Our goal is to take care of our patients and advance the profession of athletic training. While our profession has drastically changed over the last 2 years, we understand that we must adapt and educate to keep the profession moving in the right direction. Our hope is to be informative, educational and entertaining while talking to leaders in our area about topics that directly affect athletic trainers in South Central Texas.
