And lastly, my most recent accomplishment, achieved while i was away in Grand junction while organizing SlopeSistair, i signed a contract with the Seattle Mist to come on as their team chiropractor. I took one of our massage therapists last Thursday to their press day so we could meet the team & coaches. We had an eyeful. And learned that a lot of the women already have minor to major injuries sustained from practice. It’s a professional league they say, and although they play indoor, in little more than bikini’s, its full contact and yes we saw some major connections on Friday night!
At first I was dealing with major moral issues, but then I was reminded by a friend that these girls are athletes and marketing tools just like everyone else in sport. Its a consumer driven industry. Not only that, its a great way for me to make connections, get more experience, and get ringside for a lot of entertainment. Beyond that, as neat as it was to treat the athletes & coaches after the game, I realized that the one thing I was missing, was being the athlete in the middle of all that excitement! I think next time I go offer my services at a practice, I’ll get the coach (a BC Lions Wide Receiver) to throw around a ball with me. Then I’ll tackle the assistant coach.
