About this listen

In this episode, we go inside the athletic training room to examine more closely the impact of profit-motives on the decisions made regarding college athlete health and well-being and how athletes experience the training room environment. We will also be discussing the racial and gender dynamics that affect injured athletes, their perception of injury, and how injury affects their relationships with coaches, teammates, and sports medicine staff. Dr. Kaitlyn Pericak, author of Body Factory: Exploiting University Athletes’ Healthcare for Profit in the Training Room, shares her work based on her time observing the inner workings of athletic training rooms.

Host: Dr. Ellen Staurowsky

Guest: Dr. Kaitlyn Pericak, Assistant Professor, University of Oklahoma
