Athletic Training Alumni Reception

Having the National Athletic Trainers Association meeting in St. Louis gave us a great opportunity to welcome back our former Athletic Training Staff and Students at Lorenzini's in Chaifetz Arena.

Swim-Ex sponsored the reception and we had a great turnout. In addition to renewing old friendships, everyone was able to get a tour of the arena, with the highlight being our new state of the art athletic training facility.

Pictured on the court at Chaifetz Arena is Doisy College of Health Sciences Dean Charlotte Royeen and the current and former Athletic Training staff and students who attended the reception on June 21, 2008.

USA Today article on athletic trainers

Focuses on need for athletic trainers at high schools....I just wish they used "Athletic Trainer" instead of just "trainer" in the headline.

Bryan Thomas Manner Aktuell Mag Cover

Hello Everyone!

I received a call from Rick Day on Friday letting me know that I would be the cover boy for the sexy German Mag "Manner Magazine."

He gave me little details as to when the issue would hit stands as he didn't even know. To my surprise a fan emailed me about an hour ago to say...

Fan "congrats on another cover Bryan!"

Bryan "what cover!?"
Fan "check out ohlalamag
Bryan " woooow I had NO IDEA that was even out!"
Fan "hahaha are you serious!??"
