ACYFL

On July 18, 2009 Dr. Rae was invited to speak at the Arizona Competitive Youth Football League coaches meeting about dehydration and injury prevention.  Dehydration is of particular concern here in Arizona, and many of the coaches had a lot of questions about how to best prevent their players from being effected.  He also spoke about the best ways to prevent injuries.  One of the techniques he talked about is a dynamic warm up rather than stretching before games and practices.  

Mesa High School

Dr. Rae was invited to speak with the Mesa High Jackrabbits football team on July 17, 2009.  He did a presentation on kinesio tape.  Many of the football players were impressed by the benefits of kinesio tape and hope to take advantage of Dr. Rae's certification during their upcoming season.

Physicals for the CRUSH

On July 15, 2009 Dr. Rae helped the CRUSH with another fundraiser.  He provided physicals for team members donating the cost of the physicals back to the team.  Dr. Rae and his staff with the CRUSH a great football season.
