In this episode, I chat with Maggie Bryant, whose journey I've personally been inspired by over the years. I've always appreciated how honest she is in conversations about life as a PT in the NBA - the really cool parts, but also the hard and challenging parts that you don't see online. She currently serves as the President of Performance, Health, and Wellness for the LA Clippers. Maggie shares about her journey leading up to her current role and how her skillset has evolved as she's taken on more leadership and management responsibilities.

Hey, friends!
I’d love to introduce you to my friend and old co-worker Thornton Johnson. He has transitioned out of the clinic to a fully remote role where he works as a medical writer for Smith and Nephew, a medical technology company. Thornton works as an evidence evaluation specialist within their sports and orthopedics department, where he gets to marry his clinical understanding of post-operative rehab with his love for reading research, all while collaborating with engineers and product developers.
The coolest part? You don’t need a PhD to do this job! Don’t sleep on “PT-adjacent jobs” if you’re feeling burned out from patient care.

If there’s a con-ed course, Shaun has taken it. He quickly realized that most weekend courses and certification systems don’t do a great job of bridging the gap between the content and high performance. Shaun is passionate about two things when it comes to controversial topics in rehab like the ribcage and respiration: 1) giving it more context and 2) helping clinicians connect the dots between these topics and performance so they don’t “throw the baby out with the bath water.”
