Episode 19: Season 4 Episode 19- Introducing 2024 Presenter Dr. Ernie Rimer- “Experience is continuing education

I am so excited to welcome Dr. Ernie Rimer to, not just The Podcast, but to The 2024 Seminar. Dr. Rimer is doing fantastic work for The University of Louisville and his forward-thinking, inquisitive approach, brings a unique perspective on how we can all do better for our athletes with the data that we collect to The Seminar. Throughout the 35-minute discussion Dr. Rimer and I get into:

1)     The importance of systems, especially in difficult times of the year, to help streamline processes to help make the data collected more actionable.

2)     Hydration monitoring and prescribing, why it’s important in August, but not JUST important in August.

3)     Finding better ways to evaluate what we do to ensure what we are programming for our athletes is actually making the positive impact we believe it is.

4)     How to “fast track” knowledge in reference to continuing education, including how valuable he sees the ability to take classed at U of L.

I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Dr. Rimer to The Seminar, and so appreciative of his openness on today’s episode of The Podcast. This coming edition of The Seminar’s docket is absoultly awesome and Ernie is a huge part of that. Make sure to give him a follow to keep up with everything he’s got cooking on X and Instagram at @ErnieRimer. I really hope you enjoyed the discussion as much as I did, Ernie is such a wealth of knowledge and his openness to share and grow is such a valuable asset to the entire vocation. If you did find value in the discussion please feel free to share the show with a colleague, and if you would please subscribe to the show and leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform I’d be greatly appreciative.
