I intend to stay here for around two months & in that time I plan to sit my NSCA CSCS (strength & conditioning) exam & my NCBTMB (body work & massage) exam, as well as starting the process for my physical therapy accreditation.  In addition, I have arranged some clinical visits to, presentations for & meetings with NBA, NFL & NCAA teams in the New Jersey & New York states.  The aim...like a boy band, I want to break America!  I've done consultancy work over here, spent time at conferences here & visited many different organisations but I really feel that I have a lot to offer a team operating in the big four sports on this side of the Atlantic.

So, here goes, it's time to make this happen!

In the meantime, I recently spoke to one of the two sports physiotherapists I recruited to join me in Buriram, James (Butterfield).  Both James & Dan (Dagia) have now returned to the UK after a successful (Buriram remained unbeaten domestically, winning the league title, FA Cup & League Cup) yet testing time in the Thai Premier League.  I am helping guide them through the process of finding their next gainful employment & I am sure that given their great attitudes to learning, they will be gracing new environments imminently. 

Whilst reacquainting themselves with the Great British weather, James has been updating his blog & I was happy to do an interview with him, answering a few questions about my experiences in & opinions on sports physiotherapy.
