Today, we are going to be having a conversation with Steven Bickel, he is a certified athletic trainer and enjoys the outdoors.
Steven and I graduated in May 2019 from the Athletic Training Program at Cal State Northridge. Since then he has taken his skills outside of California and today we get to hear about his experience as a young professional. We went through the same struggles as students trying to navigate the demanding schedule of an Athletic Training Program and I’m glad I got to connect with him and catch up. We recorded this episode back at the end of May.

Let’s get started with the show…

Today, we are going to be having a conversation with Zerin Scales, he is a Physician Assistant and photographer.

I’ve known Zerin since 2015, going back to our days working for Medreach ambulance. We had a couple of shifts together throughout the year that I worked there and this helped us build a friendship while we saved lives and planned our future. He’s worked as a teacher, EMT for knotts berry farm and is now entering the profession of a physician assistant. Aside from being a healthcare worker he also has some creative aspirations that have led him to photography, film and writing. This conversation was recorded a couple of weeks back but it is a really deep one and I’m excited to share his story with all of you.

Today, we are going to be having a conversation with Celine Estrada, she is a certified athletic trainer and enjoys playing video games.
This was a fun conversation, we touch on working together at CSUN athletics last year while I was in my second year and last semester of the athletic training program and she was in her first year in the GA position. Celine and I met 2 years ago when we were both part of the Far West Athletic Trainers Associations Student Leadership Committee as she was our fearless leader. Together with Hubert and Sandra who have been in this podcast before, and others who have not yet and I hope i can get them here to share their stories soon, we promoted student success and athletic training awareness as well as planning for the student networking breakfast. So I’m excited to have her on here and I hope that you guys enjoy our conversation.

Today, we are going to be having a conversation with Linette Menaskan, she is a gymnastics coach and yoga instructor.
 
Before we get started with the show I want to say congratulations to all of the students graduating this month. Being a student is a lot of work and this pandemic added a level of difficulty to that experience. However, it is my belief that you will all become better people from the struggles that you faced this last semester of school and you will carry an extra chip on your shoulders as you continue to progress in your professional careers. Good luck to all of you and stay safe out there.

Today, we are going to be having a conversation with Edgar Ortiz, he is currently a certified athletic trainer and enjoys playing video games and cycling.

Before we get started with the show I want to take a moment to talk about 2 things that are taking a lot of time out of peoples days right now. At least for me, I’ve spent the last few days thinking a lot and spending a lot of time consuming news to stay up to the minute on these 2 topics.

I’ll start with the positive topic of the spaceX and NASA rocket launch to the international space station and the hope that it brings to many people in the world. It gets me pump to get to see the live stream of every step it takes to make this possible, the amount of people involved and the technology. Even with everything negative going on in the world today, it feels good to know that there are people out there that are still innovating, progressing and pushing the boundaries of what humans are capable of.

This brings me to my second topic, there are a lot of people suffering right now. They fear many things that have turned into a snowball of pain such as Covid19, George Floyd, riots, looting, unemployment to name a few. The first thing to keep in mind is that the pandemic is still going on and we can’t lose track of that, it has killed many people already and each one of us needs to be responsible with how we protect ourselves so that we can protect the loved ones around us as well. Having peaceful protests is a tool that we the people can use to push for change but unfortunately there are always a few bad people in every city that take advantage of the chaos to be selfish and cause more damage like the people breaking into businesses to steal. Just like the police officers involved in the killing of George Floyd, I don’t think all cops are bad and I don’t think all protesters are out to start a riot. But in both scenarios we need to have good police officers take some accountability and step in to check their partners actions and prevent further killings. We also need good people to step in and prevent further damages to your communities infrastructure.

Ultimately, there are good and bad people, there are moments in life that are going to be painful to go through and moments of happiness. I like to believe that most people have good intentions and put their energy into creating positive changes for the world. That’s just my opinion and the way that I feel right now.
