You have certainly seen me publicizing the Athletic Trainer Society of New Jersey and their 3rd Annual Sports Safety Summit, it is for a good reason. Eric Nussbaum and his staff do a VERY, VERY good job! I would travel that way for this event anytime, however I will be a keynote speaker in Iowa the day after (guess UPS and their “Logistics” can’t fix that for me).
But wait, there is some great news for anyone interested is seeing what all the hype is about, Eric emailed me yesterday to tell me that the Summit will be broadcast live, for FREE! You will not be able to get CEU’s this way, but at the very least you can hear all the great information from the wonderful panel they have assembled.
Here are the deets:
- All people will need to do is log onto their site, (www.concussiontv.com) and register.
