A Great Overview of Presenting

Here is someone’s else’s take on the question we all get as presenters every day: “how can I be a presenter?” I love how Dr. Rick address is two of the four possibilities to become a presenter in 2023. Bravo.

Leave and push forward ,

“Used to could injuries” /consistency

I love when an episode meets me as a PT where I’m at personally and encourages me to continue to help my clients at the same time. Personally deciding to leave a few of my old gymnastics tricks behind recently (now age 49) as I too was taking a step back for at least a year repairing micro-tears. Pushing forward with emphasizing consistency as in shorter duration stretching sessions, but more frequently throughout the week has been my push always with clients!!🙌 Love Exercise Science too!!🤓
