RFP Testing Provides a Safer Sporting Environment for Athletes
“The King-Devick Test is beneficial to me because it’s a sideline objective test. It’s easy to use and allows me to have another sound backing in my assessments of a head injury. Since I have been involved with the K-D Test, I have had nothing but positive outcomes. The athletes seemed to have taken well to it, and it’s not overwhelming to implement within an already established head injury protocol. All-in-all the King-Devick Test has proven its worth by its ease of use, validity, and time-efficient objectivity.” ~ Rickey Perales, ATC, Head Athletic Trainer at St. Laurence High School As a parent I had my reservations about my daughter playing…

Reflections :: Finding Peace Within
Image courtesy of Flickr Where inspiration is derived is as diverse as the individuals who seek it. I found mine in Denver, Colorado at Warren Church. It is a small church in an old but beautiful area of Denver where the streets are lined with quaint houses and a large park nearby. The congregation there have little in common other than their faith. In 2012, I found myself unable to work due to health issues. I applied for Social Security which took a very long two years to receive. During this process, I lost my home, my car and many of my belongings. It was a very dark…

March 14 is National Pi Day! Ways to Have Fun With Math
If you take a few minutes to do a Google search about the most popular subjects in school, you might be surprised to find that math receives an overwhelmingly popular vote. Elementary-aged students seemed to be especially fond of the subject. If you dig deeper you’ll also find it gets a lot of negative votes, and those thumbs-down seem to be ever-increasing as common core curriculum is forced into classrooms. Last year, my then-kindergartner went to the library with his class and chose a math book to bring home for the week. During his reading buddy time with a 4th grader, they generally finished their reading early. I asked him…
