What is your official position? 00:00:59.267 --> 00:01:01.268 What do you do there at Le Golf National? 00:01:01.768 --> 00:01:01.969 Yeah, 00:01:01.988 --> 00:01:03.829 so my official position is Chief 00:01:03.990 --> 00:01:05.269 Physical Therapist for the 00:01:05.329 --> 00:01:07.611 golf venue for the 2024 00:01:07.611 --> 00:01:08.531 Summer Olympics in Paris. 00:01:10.338 -->

--> 00:01:19.805 International Golf Federation. 00:01:20.365 --> 00:01:20.966 Okay. 00:01:21.066 --> 00:01:21.947 And the reason that is, 00:01:22.007 --> 00:01:23.929 is so I can treat all of our athletes, 00:01:24.608 --> 00:01:27.912 Team USA guys, Spain, Colombia, 00:01:27.951 --> 00:01:28.391 you name it. 00:01:29.784 --> 00:01:30.665 And so to back up, 00:01:30.965 --> 00:01:32.085 this is my third Olympics. 00:01:32.245 --> 00:01:33.846 I got the, for you, 00:01:34.227 --> 00:01:34.906 for you guys that don't 00:01:34.927 --> 00:01:36.629 know the golf started back 00:01:36.649 --> 00:01:38.329 in the Olympic in Rio in 2016. 00:01:38.329 --> 00:01:40.490 So the original plan was 00:01:40.831 --> 00:01:42.412 we'd be part of the team USA staff, 00:01:42.471 --> 00:01:43.653 but then team USA said, well, 00:01:43.692 --> 00:01:44.373 if you go with us, 00:01:44.433 --> 00:01:45.274 then you can only treat 00:01:46.034 --> 00:01:47.055 four Americans that are there. 00:01:47.775 --> 00:01:48.677 So, um, 00:01:48.816 --> 00:01:51.058 the guys that I work with week in 00:01:51.078 --> 00:01:52.959 and week out on the PGA tour are, 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.739 you know, from all over the country, 00:01:54.881 --> 00:01:55.680 sorry, all over the world. 00:01:55.721 --> 00:01:56.841 So, um, 00:01:57.385 --> 00:01:57.546 You know, 00:01:57.566 --> 00:01:59.067 going under the IGF banner allows 00:01:59.108 --> 00:02:00.850 me to treat, you know, 00:02:00.911 --> 00:02:02.332 guys like Nico Echeverria 00:02:02.412 --> 00:02:04.194 from Colombia and John Rahm 00:02:04.215 --> 00:02:05.897 from Spain and all those guys. 00:02:05.957 --> 00:02:07.760 So that way we're not kind 00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:08.600 of handcuffed by the 00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:09.782 national governing body. 00:02:10.795 --> 00:02:11.336 That's great. 00:02:11.475 --> 00:02:14.138 All right, so let's start with the big, 00:02:14.237 --> 00:02:15.018 and then we'll go to small. 00:02:15.038 --> 00:02:16.338 We'll get to the nitty-gritty details, 00:02:16.359 --> 00:02:16.479 right? 00:02:16.538 --> 00:02:16.979 Yeah, yeah. 00:02:17.359 --> 00:02:19.199 But how's the trip been? 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.121 Like, you know, this is your third, 00:02:21.181 --> 00:02:22.282 but I'm guessing something 00:02:22.301 --> 00:02:23.543 like this doesn't really get old. 00:02:24.062 --> 00:02:24.943 Yeah, this is awesome. 00:02:25.002 --> 00:02:27.044 This is kind of what keeps me coming back, 00:02:27.185 --> 00:02:27.425 you know? 00:02:27.685 --> 00:02:29.645 So I feel like this is the 00:02:29.725 --> 00:02:30.566 first kind of normal 00:02:30.605 --> 00:02:32.586 Olympics I've been to, and by that I mean, 00:02:32.646 --> 00:02:35.229 you know, Rio golf was new, 00:02:35.508 --> 00:02:36.628 so nobody kind of really 00:02:36.649 --> 00:02:37.469 knew what was going on. 00:02:38.325 --> 00:02:40.306 Um, a brief history lesson. 00:02:40.326 --> 00:02:41.586 So golf was in the 1906 00:02:41.586 --> 00:02:43.288 Olympics and then it was 00:02:43.348 --> 00:02:45.308 kicked out until 2016. 00:02:45.308 --> 00:02:47.210 So 110 year absence, 00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:48.270 then we brought it back. 00:02:48.349 --> 00:02:49.530 So, um, 00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:51.390 obviously it was new kind of for 00:02:51.431 --> 00:02:51.811 everybody. 00:02:51.830 --> 00:02:53.852 It was an awesome experience, but, but, um, 00:02:53.872 --> 00:02:54.671 you know, 00:02:54.692 --> 00:02:55.853 a lot of room for improvement 00:02:56.492 --> 00:02:57.693 and then fast forward, you know, 00:02:57.713 --> 00:02:58.593 what ended up being five 00:02:58.614 --> 00:03:00.474 years later because of COVID, um, 00:03:01.034 --> 00:03:02.695 Tokyo in 2021, um, 00:03:04.443 --> 00:03:06.025 I was fortunate to be called 00:03:06.064 --> 00:03:07.425 back to work that one, 00:03:07.787 --> 00:03:09.288 and that was all about COVID. 00:03:09.307 --> 00:03:09.768 I mean, 00:03:10.489 --> 00:03:13.290 all of our treatments and protocols 00:03:13.330 --> 00:03:14.472 and everything that were in place. 00:03:14.931 --> 00:03:16.673 Japan was on full lockdown at the time, 00:03:16.693 --> 00:03:18.133 to the point where it was like, 00:03:18.473 --> 00:03:19.235 we might not even go. 00:03:19.534 --> 00:03:20.455 Maybe the athletes would go 00:03:20.496 --> 00:03:22.417 and just compete and not 00:03:22.456 --> 00:03:23.777 have access to our services. 00:03:23.877 --> 00:03:24.919 So, fortunately, 00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:26.280 kind of cooler has prevailed, 00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:28.581 and things settled down a little bit. 00:03:28.622 --> 00:03:29.622 So, we were in Tokyo, 00:03:29.682 --> 00:03:31.063 and I literally was like, 00:03:31.842 --> 00:03:33.004 hotel to golf course to 00:03:33.044 --> 00:03:34.507 hotel 17 days in a row. 00:03:34.526 --> 00:03:37.651 Um, no, uh, no sightseeing, 00:03:37.711 --> 00:03:38.932 no other venues, 00:03:39.133 --> 00:03:40.816 no other sports to watch. 00:03:41.296 --> 00:03:41.417 Um, 00:03:41.497 --> 00:03:44.320 so we got the PTs and the doc got to 00:03:44.341 --> 00:03:45.002 know each other pretty well. 00:03:45.848 --> 00:03:46.487 during those weeks. 00:03:46.527 --> 00:03:48.568 And so, you know, fast forward to 2024, 00:03:48.568 --> 00:03:49.889 you know, it's been awesome. 00:03:50.210 --> 00:03:51.969 A lot of planning, obviously, 00:03:51.990 --> 00:03:53.151 that goes into something like this. 00:03:53.711 --> 00:03:54.211 But, you know, 00:03:54.230 --> 00:03:55.731 kind of really the first 00:03:55.771 --> 00:03:56.792 sort of normal Olympics I 00:03:56.812 --> 00:03:57.532 feel like I've been to. 00:03:57.931 --> 00:03:59.233 Yeah, that's great. 00:03:59.252 --> 00:04:00.372 All right, so recording this, 00:04:01.413 --> 00:04:03.274 we're talking on August 6th, right? 00:04:03.334 --> 00:04:04.094 And the Olympics... 00:04:04.875 --> 00:04:06.836 it feels like it's just nonstop Olympics. 00:04:07.177 --> 00:04:07.457 Yeah. 00:04:07.478 --> 00:04:08.038 Two weeks. 00:04:08.118 --> 00:04:08.318 Right. 00:04:08.338 --> 00:04:08.939 It's awesome. 00:04:08.979 --> 00:04:09.259 Isn't it? 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:09.920 It is. 00:04:10.161 --> 00:04:11.923 I'm a geek and I was, I was, I'm, 00:04:12.062 --> 00:04:13.344 I'm a complete Olympics geek. 00:04:13.585 --> 00:04:15.546 I love, you know, I was a swimmer. 00:04:15.606 --> 00:04:16.367 I love triathlon. 00:04:16.387 --> 00:04:17.249 I love the, you know, 00:04:17.269 --> 00:04:18.290 the sports people know about. 00:04:18.651 --> 00:04:19.711 I also love the sports that 00:04:19.752 --> 00:04:21.274 like handball table tennis. 00:04:21.314 --> 00:04:21.593 Yeah. 00:04:21.834 --> 00:04:22.214 Where else? 00:04:22.495 --> 00:04:23.096 Where else are you going to 00:04:23.115 --> 00:04:24.456 get invested like this on 00:04:24.476 --> 00:04:25.416 the edge of your couch from 00:04:25.817 --> 00:04:27.038 two people from countries 00:04:27.059 --> 00:04:28.060 you've never been to just 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.382 wailing away on a table tennis ball? 00:04:30.882 --> 00:04:31.702 And it's the Olympics, 00:04:32.103 --> 00:04:33.004 and it highlights all the 00:04:33.043 --> 00:04:33.723 things that are good. 00:04:34.245 --> 00:04:35.665 But because it feels like nonstop, 00:04:36.105 --> 00:04:38.208 what is golf like? 00:04:38.327 --> 00:04:39.848 Because it's not just one tournament, 00:04:39.889 --> 00:04:40.029 right? 00:04:40.069 --> 00:04:41.271 It's a couple different formats. 00:04:41.290 --> 00:04:41.771 How does it work? 00:04:42.250 --> 00:04:42.752 Yeah, 00:04:43.072 --> 00:04:45.134 so obviously we cover the men's 00:04:45.153 --> 00:04:46.274 tournament, which was last week, 00:04:46.334 --> 00:04:47.947 and then – 00:04:47.947 --> 00:04:49.406 the women's tournament starts tomorrow. 00:04:49.666 --> 00:04:52.548 So it's 60 players on each side. 00:04:52.588 --> 00:04:54.249 So 60 men played last week 00:04:54.269 --> 00:04:55.869 and then 60 women are teeing up tomorrow. 00:04:57.629 --> 00:04:59.550 To be honest, like this again, Tokyo, 00:04:59.569 --> 00:05:00.430 no real fans. 00:05:00.910 --> 00:05:02.870 This was kind of the first big one and it, 00:05:03.411 --> 00:05:04.531 it felt like a Ryder Cup, man. 00:05:04.571 --> 00:05:05.312 It was awesome. 00:05:06.391 --> 00:05:07.372 Some of the videos I share with you, 00:05:07.391 --> 00:05:08.651 maybe we can get to them, but yeah, 00:05:08.672 --> 00:05:09.492 there you go. 00:05:09.512 --> 00:05:11.992 I mean, it was like, it was ridiculous. 00:05:12.052 --> 00:05:13.853 It really felt, and I've worked, you know, 00:05:13.894 --> 00:05:14.233 probably, 00:05:14.233 --> 00:05:16.529 30 or 40 majors on the PGA 00:05:16.569 --> 00:05:19.011 tour and masters and US opens and stuff. 00:05:19.031 --> 00:05:20.612 And this was as big or 00:05:20.651 --> 00:05:21.572 bigger as any of those. 00:05:21.853 --> 00:05:22.333 And, you know, 00:05:22.372 --> 00:05:24.233 similar to a Ryder cup type 00:05:24.274 --> 00:05:25.394 atmosphere where there's a lot of, 00:05:25.435 --> 00:05:26.014 you know, 00:05:26.055 --> 00:05:27.336 national pride that we don't get 00:05:27.375 --> 00:05:29.377 to see oftentimes in golf. 00:05:30.697 --> 00:05:32.218 It was absolutely electric. 00:05:32.358 --> 00:05:33.499 And I think, you know, 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:34.879 women are probably be very similar. 00:05:34.899 --> 00:05:36.000 They sold just as many 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:37.201 tickets as my understanding 00:05:37.242 --> 00:05:38.161 for the women's event. 00:05:38.482 --> 00:05:40.023 So, you know, 00:05:40.043 --> 00:05:41.264 I'm going to expect more to come. 00:05:41.684 --> 00:05:43.045 I think it's been a huge 00:05:43.086 --> 00:05:44.786 success for the IOC and for 00:05:44.807 --> 00:05:47.050 the Olympics and, and for fans really. 00:05:47.810 --> 00:05:48.430 What's something that 00:05:48.451 --> 00:05:50.213 surprised you maybe either 00:05:50.233 --> 00:05:52.636 at your first Olympic games or now that, 00:05:52.716 --> 00:05:52.975 you know, 00:05:53.016 --> 00:05:54.297 maybe someone looking at from 00:05:54.336 --> 00:05:55.579 the outside and might not see. 00:05:56.259 --> 00:05:56.439 Yeah. 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:56.699 You know, 00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:58.221 the national pride is something 00:05:58.242 --> 00:06:00.264 that we don't always see on the PGA tour. 00:06:01.045 --> 00:06:02.386 Um, and to back up, you know, 00:06:03.033 --> 00:06:05.494 My main job is with the PGA Tour, 00:06:05.553 --> 00:06:06.235 traveling week in, 00:06:06.254 --> 00:06:06.995 week out with those guys. 00:06:07.035 --> 00:06:08.836 So obviously golf is a very 00:06:08.875 --> 00:06:09.795 individual sport. 00:06:09.915 --> 00:06:11.656 The other 51 weeks out of the year. 00:06:11.677 --> 00:06:12.817 So, you know, 00:06:12.838 --> 00:06:14.697 really the sense of national pride. 00:06:14.737 --> 00:06:16.199 These guys aren't getting paid to be here. 00:06:16.218 --> 00:06:18.759 You know, they're doing it for the pride. 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:20.100 And, you know, 00:06:20.141 --> 00:06:21.281 watching Scotty win his gold 00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:22.781 medal was spectacular. 00:06:22.862 --> 00:06:25.502 So, you know, that kind of, I guess, 00:06:26.122 --> 00:06:27.124 maybe not surprised me as 00:06:27.163 --> 00:06:29.345 much as just I didn't really expect it. 00:06:30.588 --> 00:06:31.548 That was kind of a cool thing. 00:06:31.588 --> 00:06:33.088 And probably the fans that 00:06:33.129 --> 00:06:34.370 watched on Sunday was as 00:06:34.410 --> 00:06:35.411 good of a finish as we've 00:06:35.451 --> 00:06:36.690 had on tour in a long time. 00:06:37.432 --> 00:06:38.572 It was a loaded leaderboard 00:06:38.612 --> 00:06:39.973 and obviously guys are 00:06:40.012 --> 00:06:40.833 fighting for medals. 00:06:40.892 --> 00:06:42.454 And the big thing I think 00:06:42.473 --> 00:06:44.774 with the Olympics is first place is cool. 00:06:44.795 --> 00:06:45.696 Gold medal is awesome. 00:06:45.755 --> 00:06:47.276 But they're fired like 00:06:47.315 --> 00:06:48.476 Hideki won the bronze medal. 00:06:48.497 --> 00:06:49.978 He was fired up just to get a medal. 00:06:50.776 --> 00:06:52.596 I remember when when Matt 00:06:52.617 --> 00:06:54.257 Kuchar won the bronze in Rio, he was like, 00:06:54.276 --> 00:06:54.398 man, 00:06:54.437 --> 00:06:55.617 this is the most excited I've ever 00:06:55.658 --> 00:06:56.497 been to finish third. 00:06:56.517 --> 00:06:57.038 You know, 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.180 that's the the idea is leaving 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:00.319 with some hardware, you know, 00:07:00.339 --> 00:07:01.721 whether it's gold, silver or bronze, 00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:02.480 like it's all cool. 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:04.442 Yeah, it's a different stage. 00:07:05.701 --> 00:07:06.942 You know, a lot of events, right? 00:07:06.963 --> 00:07:08.384 The PGA Tour schedule. 00:07:08.444 --> 00:07:09.704 I've talked to someone about this before. 00:07:09.764 --> 00:07:11.704 It's it's crazy when you think about it. 00:07:12.245 --> 00:07:13.146 But the Olympics only show 00:07:13.185 --> 00:07:14.045 up every four years. 00:07:14.266 --> 00:07:14.505 Yeah. 00:07:14.545 --> 00:07:15.747 So, you know, 00:07:16.007 --> 00:07:17.646 that sort of scarcity makes 00:07:17.726 --> 00:07:19.668 it even cooler, which is if you got one, 00:07:19.728 --> 00:07:20.648 it's like how many shots do 00:07:20.668 --> 00:07:22.028 you have in a lifetime to 00:07:22.048 --> 00:07:23.189 play for one and win one? 00:07:23.228 --> 00:07:24.629 So it makes it a little bit more special. 00:07:25.069 --> 00:07:25.310 Yeah. 00:07:25.490 --> 00:07:26.269 I mean, on the men's side, 00:07:26.290 --> 00:07:27.331 there's literally three 00:07:27.610 --> 00:07:28.771 gold medal winners ever. 00:07:29.170 --> 00:07:30.151 Yeah. 00:07:30.252 --> 00:07:31.312 They're in a very small, 00:07:31.471 --> 00:07:33.072 small group there. 00:07:33.646 --> 00:07:33.865 All right, 00:07:33.886 --> 00:07:35.507 we got a quick video I'm going 00:07:35.526 --> 00:07:36.406 to snap up there. 00:07:36.807 --> 00:07:37.966 You might need to unmute 00:07:37.987 --> 00:07:38.728 yourself if you want to 00:07:38.767 --> 00:07:39.668 talk over the video, 00:07:39.687 --> 00:07:41.148 if we want to become commentators. 00:07:41.187 --> 00:07:42.528 So once I start playing the video, 00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:43.709 it might mute you. 00:07:43.788 --> 00:07:44.928 So I'm going to play this 00:07:44.949 --> 00:07:46.170 tee-off video that you have. 00:07:52.711 --> 00:07:52.831 Yeah, 00:07:52.851 --> 00:07:53.951 so I think that's Tommy hitting his 00:07:53.992 --> 00:07:54.492 tee shot. 00:07:54.531 --> 00:07:57.793 So Tommy ended up winning 00:07:58.134 --> 00:07:58.774 the silver medal. 00:07:59.293 --> 00:07:59.754 Boom. 00:08:01.213 --> 00:08:02.535 Yeah, that's a first tee. 00:08:03.797 --> 00:08:04.379 That was a bomb. 00:08:05.081 --> 00:08:06.805 Yeah, they were hitting bombs all week, 00:08:06.845 --> 00:08:07.065 baby. 00:08:07.466 --> 00:08:08.990 I mean, these guys are just used to it, 00:08:09.050 --> 00:08:10.495 but if I've got two people 00:08:10.875 --> 00:08:12.038 with me on the tee box... 00:08:13.476 --> 00:08:14.778 I'm nervous I'm going to hit somebody. 00:08:14.798 --> 00:08:16.619 These guys got people right down the pipe. 00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:20.841 That's around every single 00:08:20.882 --> 00:08:21.663 week for these guys. 00:08:22.023 --> 00:08:24.324 What's your schedule like as a PT? 00:08:24.403 --> 00:08:26.004 Right now, you're in the facility. 00:08:26.024 --> 00:08:27.326 We'll take a look at that in a second. 00:08:28.706 --> 00:08:29.947 We'll get into the more 00:08:30.007 --> 00:08:31.088 nitty-gritty PT stuff. 00:08:31.269 --> 00:08:32.669 Are you available the entire 00:08:32.669 --> 00:08:34.431 17 days or whatever it is? 00:08:34.811 --> 00:08:35.871 Where are you during the 00:08:35.951 --> 00:08:37.472 match and all that? 00:08:38.394 --> 00:08:39.693 I got here early just 00:08:40.075 --> 00:08:41.676 because this is my third one. 00:08:41.716 --> 00:08:42.096 I kind of had 00:08:42.573 --> 00:08:43.414 I was in charge of making 00:08:43.434 --> 00:08:44.254 sure we had what we needed. 00:08:44.615 --> 00:08:44.855 Sure. 00:08:45.255 --> 00:08:47.477 Um, so again, we'll see, 00:08:47.498 --> 00:08:48.118 we'll show you in a minute, 00:08:48.138 --> 00:08:49.158 but we're set up in the, 00:08:49.239 --> 00:08:50.440 what's normally the French 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:51.701 national golf Academy. 00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:53.501 So equipment wise, 00:08:53.522 --> 00:08:54.722 they were already loaded. 00:08:54.783 --> 00:08:55.524 It's been awesome. 00:08:55.543 --> 00:08:56.904 The athletes let it loved it. 00:08:56.965 --> 00:08:57.884 We brought a bunch of stuff 00:08:57.924 --> 00:08:58.905 ourselves to like, you know, 00:08:58.946 --> 00:08:59.466 treatment wise, 00:08:59.525 --> 00:09:01.288 but as far as like the equipment goes, 00:09:01.347 --> 00:09:02.389 it's been perfect. 00:09:02.708 --> 00:09:02.808 Um, 00:09:04.135 --> 00:09:04.777 So, yeah. 00:09:04.797 --> 00:09:05.397 So my schedule, 00:09:05.437 --> 00:09:07.339 I got here two weeks ago today. 00:09:07.359 --> 00:09:07.399 Um, 00:09:08.119 --> 00:09:09.780 so like a full week before the men 00:09:09.841 --> 00:09:12.142 started, just, uh, my wife came with me. 00:09:12.202 --> 00:09:13.102 So we got to spend a little 00:09:13.123 --> 00:09:14.083 bit extra time in France 00:09:14.403 --> 00:09:15.804 and Paris before I had to 00:09:15.825 --> 00:09:16.966 really get down to the nitty gritty. 00:09:16.985 --> 00:09:19.788 But I started seeing guys on Saturday, um, 00:09:20.109 --> 00:09:21.809 a week and a half ago, um, 00:09:21.850 --> 00:09:23.230 which is usually a little 00:09:23.250 --> 00:09:24.631 bit earlier than what we normally would. 00:09:25.072 --> 00:09:25.153 Um, 00:09:25.881 --> 00:09:26.142 And again, 00:09:26.162 --> 00:09:26.883 just to make sure everything was 00:09:26.903 --> 00:09:27.582 set up and stuff. 00:09:27.602 --> 00:09:28.624 So starting Saturday, 00:09:28.644 --> 00:09:31.125 I started seeing guys and then Sunday, 00:09:31.145 --> 00:09:32.147 the rest of the staff got 00:09:32.187 --> 00:09:33.628 here and then we were full 00:09:33.668 --> 00:09:34.489 go Monday morning. 00:09:34.969 --> 00:09:36.029 We started hammering and 00:09:36.370 --> 00:09:38.192 hammering guys out and guys 00:09:38.211 --> 00:09:39.212 started coming in and work out. 00:09:40.373 --> 00:09:41.453 A bunch of our guys actually 00:09:41.514 --> 00:09:42.394 played in Minnesota the 00:09:42.413 --> 00:09:43.254 week before just because 00:09:43.274 --> 00:09:43.995 they're still trying to 00:09:44.054 --> 00:09:45.096 lock up their tour card. 00:09:45.155 --> 00:09:47.596 So we had one guy, Steven Yeager, 00:09:47.917 --> 00:09:48.616 a German player. 00:09:48.636 --> 00:09:49.957 He didn't get in until like 00:09:49.977 --> 00:09:51.139 he had some flight issues and stuff. 00:09:51.158 --> 00:09:51.818 So he didn't get in until 00:09:51.859 --> 00:09:52.580 Wednesday afternoon. 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.240 Most of the guys were up and 00:09:55.280 --> 00:09:56.881 running full go Monday morning. 00:09:57.668 --> 00:09:59.250 Um, so then, you know, during a week, 00:09:59.490 --> 00:09:59.669 you know, 00:09:59.690 --> 00:10:01.650 for us a week is like Monday to 00:10:01.711 --> 00:10:02.451 Sunday kind of thing. 00:10:02.490 --> 00:10:03.750 So it's a little bit different this week. 00:10:04.131 --> 00:10:07.413 Um, but we've been 7am to 7pm, you know, 00:10:07.432 --> 00:10:08.352 pretty much all the way through. 00:10:09.153 --> 00:10:10.933 We stagger a little bit based on, you know, 00:10:10.994 --> 00:10:12.434 some of us got tickets to 00:10:12.475 --> 00:10:13.595 go to see some other stuff. 00:10:13.615 --> 00:10:15.255 So, you know, we stagger and stuff, but. 00:10:15.922 --> 00:10:17.482 basically 12 hour days for 00:10:17.764 --> 00:10:18.624 seven days in a row. 00:10:18.663 --> 00:10:20.566 And then the ladies are 00:10:20.826 --> 00:10:21.667 playing this week and we 00:10:21.687 --> 00:10:22.548 can go through our staff 00:10:22.587 --> 00:10:23.488 here in a little bit, but yeah, 00:10:23.508 --> 00:10:23.808 there you go. 00:10:24.009 --> 00:10:24.750 There's John Rom.

00:10:54.135 I think, to win it. 00:10:54.176 --> 00:10:54.976 I shot a 71 last week. 00:10:54.996 --> 00:10:56.317 Then I played the back nine. 00:10:56.337 --> 00:10:57.859 Right, there you go. 00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:58.458 Right, there you go. 00:11:05.115 --> 00:11:05.375 I mean, 00:11:05.395 --> 00:11:06.956 you've got to worry about muscle 00:11:06.976 --> 00:11:08.096 strain just from his facial 00:11:08.136 --> 00:11:08.918 muscles walking around 00:11:08.957 --> 00:11:09.839 smiling because he's going 00:11:09.859 --> 00:11:11.038 to take a million pictures, right? 00:11:11.259

00:11:15.961 --> 00:11:16.663 Oh, that's great. 00:11:17.212 --> 00:11:19.654 You know, we're a small cog in the wheel, 00:11:19.674 --> 00:11:21.476 but we feel like we were 00:11:21.496 --> 00:11:23.138 involved and won that gold medal too. 00:11:23.719 --> 00:11:25.120 We actually, 00:11:25.139 --> 00:11:27.221 there was a great tweet by Missy Elliott. 00:11:27.241 --> 00:11:27.942 You didn't think I was going 00:11:27.961 --> 00:11:29.062 to connect the Olympics. 00:11:29.363 --> 00:11:30.585 Missy, Miss Demetra Elliott. 00:11:30.605 --> 00:11:30.945 Did you see? 00:11:31.024 -->

00:11:59.224 --> 00:12:00.565 pts they I mean he's 00:12:00.664 --> 00:12:01.525 seeking you out to make 00:12:01.566 --> 00:12:02.706 sure you you get a little 00:12:02.826 --> 00:12:03.807 you know gold medal time 00:12:04.327 --> 00:12:05.288 we're past the point where 00:12:05.308 --> 00:12:06.370 they understand the value 00:12:06.389 --> 00:12:07.409 right we're past that 00:12:07.791 --> 00:12:08.850 absolutely I think you know 00:12:08.910 --> 00:12:10.513 is obviously golf has 00:12:10.552 --> 00:12:11.212 gotten more and more 00:12:11.273 --> 00:12:12.354 athletic as the years have 00:12:12.374 --> 00:12:13.335 gone on with the tiger 00:12:13.355 --> 00:12:14.154 effect everything we can 00:12:14.174 --> 00:12:15.235 talk more about that too but 00:12:16.048 --> 00:12:16.828 Um, you know, the, 00:12:16.889 --> 00:12:17.909 the more athletic it gets, 00:12:17.950 --> 00:12:19.211 I think the bigger role we 00:12:19.250 --> 00:12:21.572 play in their daily routine, you know, 00:12:21.732 --> 00:12:24.475 so a guy like Scott or Xander, um, 00:12:24.936 --> 00:12:25.797 I think I counted, 00:12:25.876 --> 00:12:28.979 we saw like 48 out of the 60 guys, um, 00:12:29.299 --> 00:12:30.299 over the course of the week. 00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:32.101 So, you know, it's pretty much, you know, 00:12:32.121 --> 00:12:33.263 if you're a top player, you're, 00:12:33.322 --> 00:12:35.184 you have a team around you of which, 00:12:35.205 --> 00:12:37.186 you know, we're a small part, but, um, 00:12:37.206 --> 00:12:37.326 yeah. 00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:40.020 I think the reliance on 00:12:40.140 --> 00:12:41.240 services like we provide 00:12:41.280 --> 00:12:42.741 are becoming more and more important. 00:12:43.042 --> 00:12:44.043 And you got the outliers, 00:12:44.062 --> 00:12:45.222 the John Daly's of the world, 00:12:45.243 --> 00:12:45.822 but we won't, 00:12:46.183 --> 00:12:47.063 but some people just are 00:12:47.124 --> 00:12:48.565 naturally can do whatever. 00:12:48.644 --> 00:12:50.125 No, John, John needs this too. 00:12:50.504 --> 00:12:51.706 Yeah, I bet. 00:12:53.067 --> 00:12:54.427 So let's talk nitty gritty. 00:12:54.466 --> 00:12:56.048 So we've seen like a fraction. 00:12:56.087 --> 00:12:56.807 I'm we on purpose. 00:12:56.868 --> 00:12:57.749 If you're watching the video 00:12:57.769 --> 00:12:59.109 and not just listening to the podcast, 00:12:59.589 --> 00:13:00.870 you're sitting in the area 00:13:00.909 --> 00:13:02.331 where you have everything 00:13:02.350 --> 00:13:03.191 that you would probably need. 00:13:03.211 --> 00:13:04.010 So can we just take a look 00:13:04.030 --> 00:13:04.672 at what's behind you? 00:13:04.991 --> 00:13:07.572 So let me, can I flip it around here? 00:13:07.873 --> 00:13:09.754 yeah how's that look that's 00:13:09.794 --> 00:13:11.235 great like all right so 00:13:11.275 --> 00:13:13.157 I'll do a little walk-in 00:13:13.177 --> 00:13:14.138 tour here we'll we'll see 00:13:14.177 --> 00:13:15.678 everything but yes like I 00:13:15.719 --> 00:13:16.500 said this is french 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:17.721 national golf academy and 00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:19.923 this is as good access for 00:13:20.003 --> 00:13:21.003 junior golfers as you're 00:13:21.023 --> 00:13:21.663 going to find anywhere in 00:13:21.683 --> 00:13:23.524 the world probably so I was 00:13:23.565 --> 00:13:24.505 talking to the head guy 00:13:24.546 --> 00:13:26.707 here um they have a 00:13:26.727 --> 00:13:28.208 physical therapist on staff 00:13:28.229 --> 00:13:29.389 full-time normally you know 00:13:29.409 --> 00:13:30.009 when we're not here um 00:13:31.563 --> 00:13:33.245 They have two trainers and 00:13:33.284 --> 00:13:34.666 then I think four coaches. 00:13:36.488 --> 00:13:37.509 The French kids are here. 00:13:37.528 --> 00:13:39.149 They live here, I think, 00:13:39.210 --> 00:13:41.932 and they go to school here and stuff. 00:13:41.951 --> 00:13:43.472 This is about as good as it 00:13:43.493 --> 00:13:44.774 gets facility-wise. 00:13:45.114 --> 00:13:46.855 We moved our treatment stuff up here too. 00:13:47.296 --> 00:13:48.177 squat racks. 00:13:48.256 --> 00:13:49.537 I'm seeing a heavy bag. 00:13:49.557 --> 00:13:50.778 I'm seeing speed bikes. 00:13:50.798 --> 00:13:51.557 I'm seeing rowers. 00:13:51.577 --> 00:13:52.879 You know, this is not your, 00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:54.279 this is not your grandpa's 00:13:54.379 --> 00:13:55.240 golf conditioning. 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:56.541 This is a, I mean, 00:13:56.561 --> 00:13:57.160 what's the difference 00:13:57.201 --> 00:13:59.442 between this and some NCAA 00:13:59.481 --> 00:14:01.363 D one football facilities. 00:14:01.383 --> 00:14:02.344 There's not a whole lot of difference. 00:14:02.823 --> 00:14:03.043 Right. 00:14:03.063 --> 00:14:03.625 You're not kidding. 00:14:03.904 --> 00:14:05.184 And if you'd have been in here, you know, 00:14:05.326 --> 00:14:06.245 Saturday, Sunday morning, 00:14:06.265 --> 00:14:08.606 when our guys were trying to win medals, 00:14:08.846 --> 00:14:10.567 you'd see the racks getting used. 00:14:10.587 --> 00:14:11.729 You see guys back squatting 00:14:11.769 --> 00:14:13.830 two 25s and throwing these 00:14:13.870 --> 00:14:15.150 kettlebells around, you know, 00:14:16.071 --> 00:14:16.270 Um, 00:14:17.032 --> 00:14:18.113 just getting after it with medicine 00:14:18.133 --> 00:14:19.094 balls and everything else. 00:14:19.173 --> 00:14:20.855 And a lot of people are 00:14:20.894 --> 00:14:23.378 surprised that to hear that the golfers, 00:14:23.998 --> 00:14:25.639 you know, lift as much weight as they do, 00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:27.280 especially the week of a tournament, 00:14:27.301 --> 00:14:27.761 but it's real. 00:14:27.822 --> 00:14:29.023 I'm telling you, it's really changed as, 00:14:29.562 --> 00:14:30.964 as it's gotten more athletic, you know, 00:14:30.984 --> 00:14:32.405 the guys feel like if 00:14:32.426 --> 00:14:33.105 they're not doing it, 00:14:33.145 --> 00:14:34.447 then they're probably getting laughed. 00:14:34.908 --> 00:14:35.048 Yep.

fantastic. 00:15:32.591 --> 00:15:33.432 Yeah, so they can hit – 00:15:34.557 --> 00:15:35.576 when it's Academy time, 00:15:35.596 --> 00:15:36.716 they can hit off these mats here, 00:15:36.736 --> 00:15:37.638 but our players are hitting 00:15:37.658 --> 00:15:38.158 from down there. 00:15:38.197 --> 00:15:39.097 There's nobody on there right now, 00:15:39.118 --> 00:15:40.677 but yeah, it's

hill there. 00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:55.100 How long until, uh, 00:15:55.221 --> 00:15:57.121 how long until tee off for the next, uh, 00:15:57.182 --> 00:15:58.662 for the, for the, for the, uh, women?

get a 00:16:10.708 --> 00:16:11.489 chance to talk about? 00:16:11.509 --> 00:16:12.809 You think other PTs, 00:16:13.390 --> 00:16:15.091 typically when they find out who you are, 00:16:15.152 --> 00:16:16.052 what you get to do, 00:16:16.572 --> 00:16:17.893 what are maybe their questions? 00:16:17.913 --> 00:16:19.014 We're like, hang on a second. 00:16:19.094 --> 00:16:19.634 What about

00:16:36.115 --> 00:16:36.655 Yeah. 00:16:36.816 --> 00:16:37.475 So they play, 00:16:37.495 --> 00:16:38.336 they play club and high 00:16:38.355 --> 00:16:39.037 school water polo. 00:16:39.057 --> 00:16:40.697 So I'm going to watch team 00:16:40.716 --> 00:16:42.076 USA play the quarterfinal 00:16:42.096 --> 00:16:43.417 match against Australia tomorrow. 00:16:44.177 --> 00:16:44.357 Um, 00:16:44.398 --> 00:16:45.717 they win that and they're in metal 00:16:45.738 --> 00:16:46.238 contention. 00:16:46.298 --> 00:16:46.418 So, 00:16:47.214 --> 00:16:48.134 I'm fired up about that. 00:16:48.534 --> 00:16:48.975 Yeah. 00:16:49.014 --> 00:16:50.196 I think we're going to try 00:16:50.216 --> 00:16:51.375 to try to swing over to see 00:16:51.416 --> 00:16:52.177 beach volleyball, 00:16:52.236 --> 00:16:54.118 which if you haven't seen that venue, 00:16:54.138 --> 00:16:54.898 that is absolutely 00:16:54.918 --> 00:16:57.320 spectacular with the Eiffel 00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:58.120 Tower in the background. 00:16:59.100 --> 00:16:59.921 So I think we might try to 00:16:59.961 --> 00:17:00.902 go see that on Friday. 00:17:01.621 --> 00:17:03.082 So those are the

it. 00:17:12.527 --> 00:17:13.666 I think they'd want to know 00:17:13.707 --> 00:17:14.688 equipment and schedules, 00:17:14.748 --> 00:17:15.768 and we talked about that. 00:17:16.689 -->

00:17:28.134 --> 00:17:28.953 what do I need to do? 00:17:29.614 --> 00:17:30.654 What little practice drill 00:17:30.674 --> 00:17:32.075 do I need to do now as a PT 00:17:32.115 --> 00:17:35.737 to get to LA or several Olympics beyond? 00:17:36.017 --> 00:17:36.696 What are some things you 00:17:36.717 --> 00:17:37.557 typically suggest? 00:17:38.257 --> 00:17:38.517 Yeah. 00:17:38.537 --> 00:17:39.837 You know, I think, yeah, 00:17:39.857 --> 00:17:41.498 number one for a new grad PT is, 00:17:41.637 --> 00:17:43.179 is work hard and don't stop learning. 00:17:43.499 --> 00:17:43.979 You know, I, 00:17:44.719 --> 00:17:46.460 I think as a new grad PT myself, 00:17:46.539 --> 00:17:48.200 like I kinda, I don't know, 00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:49.580 I don't know if I was too cocky or what, 00:17:49.601 --> 00:17:51.201 but I sort of figured like, all right, 00:17:51.221 --> 00:17:52.082 I'm done with PT school. 00:17:52.102 --> 00:17:52.741 I'm ready to go. 00:17:52.842 --> 00:17:53.781 And then you kinda, 00:17:54.281 --> 00:17:55.563 you don't really know what you don't know, 00:17:55.843 --> 00:17:56.063 you know, 00:17:56.103 --> 00:17:56.742 until you get out there and 00:17:56.762 --> 00:17:57.682 start seeing patients. 00:17:57.762 --> 00:17:59.923 And for me, it was, um, you know, 00:17:59.943 --> 00:18:00.644 I went back and did the 00:18:00.683 --> 00:18:02.365 orthopedic residency, um, 00:18:03.025 --> 00:18:04.026 after I graduated, you know, 00:18:04.046 --> 00:18:05.306 a couple of years after, but, um, 00:18:06.583 --> 00:18:07.604 Don't stop learning. 00:18:07.743 --> 00:18:10.125 I can tell you if I happened 00:18:10.144 --> 00:18:11.445 to have gotten hired on the 00:18:11.465 --> 00:18:12.925 PGA Tour without doing the residency, 00:18:12.965 --> 00:18:13.646 I would have been lost. 00:18:13.727 --> 00:18:15.126 I probably would have lasted 00:18:15.146 --> 00:18:16.087 half a season. 00:18:16.968 --> 00:18:17.749 Just keep learning. 00:18:19.009 --> 00:18:20.450 Go to conferences, network, 00:18:20.529 --> 00:18:21.411 do that kind of stuff. 00:18:21.790 --> 00:18:24.132 As far as professional sports going, 00:18:24.152 --> 00:18:26.873 I give a lot of talks to PT 00:18:26.972 --> 00:18:28.534 students and new grad PTs 00:18:28.574 --> 00:18:30.255 about professional sports. 00:18:30.275 --> 00:18:31.035 It's not for everybody. 00:18:31.375 --> 00:18:32.536 The hours, like I mentioned, 00:18:33.115 --> 00:18:33.777 they're a bear. 00:18:33.836 --> 00:18:34.717 The travel's a bear. 00:18:34.757 --> 00:18:36.018 It sounds cool and stuff, but 00:18:36.509 --> 00:18:36.670 you know, 00:18:36.690 --> 00:18:37.611 when you're missing connections 00:18:37.691 --> 00:18:38.550 in Detroit and stuff, 00:18:38.590 --> 00:18:41.073 it's not as glamorous as you might think. 00:18:41.173 --> 00:18:42.054 But yeah, I mean, 00:18:42.094 --> 00:18:43.355 if you're willing to put the work in, 00:18:43.414 --> 00:18:44.615 just, you know, network and, 00:18:44.855 --> 00:18:46.636 and get on LinkedIn, you know, 00:18:46.656 --> 00:18:47.938 you and I are linked up on 00:18:47.958 --> 00:18:50.078 LinkedIn and get to know people. 00:18:50.138 --> 00:18:51.119 And I, you know, I try to, 00:18:51.140 --> 00:18:52.260 I try to answer as many 00:18:52.921 --> 00:18:54.122 students questions as I can 00:18:54.182 --> 00:18:55.403 on LinkedIn and I don't get 00:18:55.423 --> 00:18:57.824 to all of them all the time, but you know, 00:18:57.864 --> 00:18:59.204 just keep networking and 00:18:59.224 --> 00:19:01.185 the opportunities will come, you know, 00:19:01.267 --> 00:19:02.386 and don't be afraid to work hard, 00:19:02.567 --> 00:19:04.107 you know, keep your head down and, 00:19:04.429 --> 00:19:05.489 and get the work done and 00:19:05.509 --> 00:19:06.250 put the time in and, 00:19:07.301 --> 00:19:08.502 The athletes will appreciate it. 00:19:08.703 --> 00:19:10.244 And next thing you know, 00:19:10.285 --> 00:19:11.987 you're on the tour for 16 years like me. 00:19:12.528 --> 00:19:12.768 Love it. 00:19:12.887 --> 00:19:13.528 Jason Stoddall, 00:19:13.568 --> 00:19:16.632 live from La
