“No mucha gente puede estar ay en el mero cuadrilátero cabron. Hiciste buen trabajo; eres campeón!” - Mr. Melendez @twincharlo dared to be great against @canelo, making history by taking part in the first Undisputed vs. Undisputed boxing match in history! #CombatSportsMedicine

Keep on dreaming.

From fighting through college as an AT student & amateur boxer, to working as the Head Football AT for a successful FCS Division-I program, & now working with elite fighters across every level and discipline as a Cutman & AT - the hours were put in. #CombatSportsMedicine

Fighters push through pain, but it’s important to understand the difference between sore, hurt, & injured. ATs can help guide through that process; providing evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, & a safe path back to competition. #NATM #DeeperThanCuts #CombatSportsMedicine

Happy National Athletic Training Month! Throughout the month I’ll be sharing different aspects of my profession as an Athletic Trainer and owner of Combat Sports Medicine, LLC — from concussion care, taping and bracing, to rehabilitation and more. #NATM #CombatSportsMedicine

“Después del niño ahogado, tapan el pozo.”

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.

Nature is smarter than people think.

Keep going.
