Sports Medicine and Human Performance over the past 10 years has become a topic of increased interest in our military forces.  So we are pleased to have Dr/Lt.

Much of the sports media is focusing on next week's NFL draft - who will be drafted when and why. To salute the upcoming draft (and the three potential first-round picks from A&M), we have in the podcast Mr. Justin Moore who is the Associate Athletic Director for Football here at A&M.  In the podcast, we talk about football, but from a different angle than most people expect.  We think you'll enjoy hearing about how a big-time college football program is run... Enjoy!

We are honored to have A&M's Head Track and Field Coach, Pat Henry on the podcast today.  Coach Henry's teams have won 34 National Championships over his career, including seven in the last five years here at A&M. We appreciate that Coach Henry took time out of his busy schedule in between national track meets to chat with us.  So if you think that Track & Field is only an every '4 years' type of sport, it's worth your time to listen to this podcast!
