I'm reminded of how there are top players on a team and then one day the rookie comes in and just blows everybody away including the top athletes.

I am an athletic trainer.

My name is Knox and I am a student-athlete at the University of Alabama. 

Welcome, one thing you can do immediately is leverage your time as an athlete.

Hey @Kirk Johnson, good to see a fellow student athlete interested in the REI game.

I'm a former college athlete and I've spent most of the last 6 years traveling and living as cheaply as possible.

Also, about 5 miles from this area is a fairly famous sports medicine hospital that draws professional athletes from all over the US, not an expert here, but I'd say it's more than a regional draw on that one.   

Athletes such as MJ and Tiger Woods employ multiple coaches to help them.  

I am ready to leave corporate America, and I would like to show my boys there are other ways to make money besides working a job and being a professional athlete.
