@DrNiravPandya @CaitrATC Can you, please, encourage your physician colleagues to inform the patients and their parents of this? As an AT, when I say this to a kid or parent, my bosses get calls saying I’m holding a kid out when the doc “cleared” the kid.

The sign above Jeff Allen’s door is a clue why Alabama’s training staff is among the best in the country. “I think that quote kind of sums up our philosophy here. I'm not going to wait on some research to tell me if something's going to work. The research that I'm going to use is, Does it make the player feel better? Do they notice a difference? And I think being open minded like that has been beneficial for us.”

"I'm feeling great. Shoutout to our training staff. They're the best of the best. I mean I legit broke my foot in the middle of the season and came back same season. That's a tribute to them." - Alabama tight end Josh Cuevas #RollTide #CFBPlayoff @makennahsdad

Recently GC baseball players program wide volunteered with the Miracle League of Montgomery County. Miracle League was formed by the Kiwanis Club of Bethesda to give children with disabilities the opportunity to play baseball as a team member of an organized league. The GC players acted as buddies to the players, helping them run the bases, bat and field. There were smiles all around! @OLGCHS @GCFalconsAD
