Eli Kassab is an athletic trainer that currently works in the sport setting but has done a little bit of everything, including spending some significant time in high level football. Through all of this, Eli found himself getting burned out from the constant go of the profession. This led Eli to find some new opportunities to break the cycle of burnout and see what else might be next in his career.In this episode we talk about burnout and how an athletic trainer might be able to handle it if they find themselves moving that direction. Eli has some very unique insight into options that ATCs can find to help with a case of burnout. This might be very applicable in mid-April and we find ourselves at home with maybe more time on our hands than we thought.
