Hey! Love what your doing with the podcast. I am currently a highschool student and I one day aspire to be a sports PT. Everything from the clinical side to the business side absolutely fascinates me and your podcast has allowed me to love it even more. You should make a segment on highschool / undergrad college and what classes one should take in preparation to be a good sports PT as well as what major. You could also talk about how to prepare for a physical therapy program. Thanks!
