Most parents schedule their athlete's sports physical to check a box before the season starts—but Scott Galloway, an athletic trainer who's worked with high school athletes and hospital sports medicine systems, reveals why that's a missed opportunity. A sports physical isn't just paperwork; it's your chance to identify potential injury risks, uncover medical concerns, ask the right questions, and build the right healthcare team around your athlete. In this episode, Scott walks parents through the biggest mistakes made before a physical, the warning signs that deserve attention, why nutrition should be part of the conversation, and what every parent should know before their child steps on the field. Whether your athlete is dealing with injury recovery, training at high intensity, or just starting their sports journey, this episode will change how you approach the annual sports physical—and your athlete's overall health.To learn more visit @thesportsnutritionplaybook and thesportsnutritionplaybook.com.Check out our YouTube channel for more sports nutrition tips and tricks.  Have questions to ask our sports dietitians? email us at info@thesportsnutritionplaybook.com

Healthcare is a vital part of our society. Just like access to food and water, healthcare is a necessary part of maintaining these fleshy avatars we call bodies. While hospitals and medical access may be a wildly mismanaged, robber-baron industry of government-sponsored organized crime, most of our healthcare starts at the home. Staying hydrated and choking down brussel sprouts is basic health maintenance. Self-care starts with avoiding Hot Pockets and Baja Blasts. Physical Fitness beats Physicals. But Ten Thousand steps is also wear and tear. What happens when healthy hurts? Rest and Recuperate with Mat and Veronique as we struggle through the misery of healing from Aches and Pains! *Grumbles are specifically off-the-cuff, no research went into this grumble. _____________________________________ Support the show and become a Grumble Kid!

Let's talk about something that doesn't get people excited. No machines, nothing about forklifts, and no mention of productivity or numbers. I'd like to talk about paperwork. I know I know, but this isn't boring paperwork. This is the paperwork of life. The kind of documents that quietly follow you from your first job all the way to retirement. The kind that, when handled correctly, makes life easier, and when ignored, can create stress, delays, lost money, or even lost opportunities.  I was looking for the right word here, I highlighted the words personal responsibility, and that's not what I'm looking for, but there are things we, ourselves, need to make sure we get right. So instead of harping on what we need to do I'll just speak to it in an, “I've seen how this plays out” kind of way. Because here's the truth, no company, no HR department, no recruiter, no government agency cares about your paperwork more than you do, and they never will.  When someone gets a job offer, they're excited. And they should be. But onboarding isn't just about orientation videos and a badge. From day one, you're asked to complete documents like I-9 employment verification, W-4 tax forms, Direct deposit information, Benefit elections, Emergency contacts, Policy acknowledgments. And these aren't just forms. These documents determine whether you can legally work, how and when you get paid, how much tax is withheld, whether you have insurance, and who gets called if there are any problems or emergencies.  When onboarding paperwork is filled out incorrectly, or rushed through, problems can start immediately. Delayed paychecks. Incorrect tax withholdings. Missed benefits. And the worst part? Most of those problems are preventable. Here's a tip or an opinion I guess, if a document affects your pay, your health, or your job security, slow down. Ask questions if you do not understand something. Especially anything like deductions. Read what you're signing. If you don't understand a box, don't guess. Guessing on official paperwork almost always comes back around to us.  The I-9 form is one of the most misunderstood documents in employment, and one of the most important. This form verifies your identity and your legal authorization to work in the United States. It requires specific documents, completed within a specific timeframe. If our hiring agent doesn't properly complete the I-9 you may not be allowed to start work. Your employment could be delayed, or you could be terminated, not for performance, but for a compliance issue. This isn't personal. It's just the law. As a worker, our responsibility is simple but serious. We need to bring valid, acceptable documents, make sure names match exactly, and pay attention to dates and signatures. Just this week I've heard about 3 individuals that met all the qualifications for a position, interviewed great, was offered the position, only to say that they didn't bring 2 forms of I.D. Their hiring process was delayed until they could return with their documents. For one of them the position was filled before she could return. And to our recruiter, being unprepared for an I-9 and the onboarding sends a message, fair or not, that you didn't take the process seriously.  Taxes are another area where people often say, I'll just fill it out the way I always do. That mindset can cause problems for us. Your W-4 determines how much money is withheld from each paycheck. Too little withheld? You might owe money at tax time. Too much withheld? You're giving the government an interest-free loan all year. And it's important to remember that life changes, marriage, kids, second jobs, side work, all affect how your W-4 should be filled out. Here's another tip or opinion! Our paycheck is our responsibility. If something looks off, ask about it immediately. Waiting six weeks doesn't fix it, it only multiplies the problem.  I want to mention a bit on our personal records too. Health records, Immunizations, Vaccinations, Physicals. In warehousing, manufacturing, transportation, and logistics, these come up more than people realize. Certain jobs, sites, or clients may require proof of Tetanus shots, Hepatitis vaccinations, physical capability exams or ergonomic testing, even drug screening history. Yes, these request or needs are rare in our field, but if you can't produce records, you may be delayed from starting a job, or even be excluded from certain assignments or have to repeat tests at your own expense. Keeping copies of our health records is important, it's about preparedness. Create a simple system, a physical folder at home, or digital copies on a secure drive with clear file names and dates. This is one of those, future you will be thankful for, habits.  Oh and many people assume education records don't matter once they're working. That's not always true. High school diplomas, GEDs, college transcripts, certifications, licenses, these documents can come up when applying for leadership roles, moving into safety or compliance positions, transitioning into office or management roles and applying for specialized training. Saying I completed it is not the same as proving it. If you've earned something, keep the documentation. You worked for it. Don't let missing paperwork slow your progress later.  And here's another free opinion! Your resume should never be written in a panic. It should be updated after each role, after learning new equipment, when gaining certifications, and after taking on leadership tasks. Too many people try to rebuild their entire work history the night before applying for a job, and details get lost. Dates get fuzzy. Job titles blur and we'll leave off some of our accomplishments. A resume isn't just for job hunting. It's a record of our career. Here's another unsolicited opinion of mine! Keep a running document. Add bullet points as you go. That away when opportunity shows up, you'll be ready.  Now let's talk about open enrollment, this is where people can get hurt financially. Open enrollment windows are like written in stone. Miss them, and you may be locked out of Health insurance, Dental and vision, Life insurance or Disability coverage until the next enrollment period. Saying “I didn't know” doesn't reopen the window. This happened to me last year. I asked about the dental and vision offerings, but I didn't follow up when no one got back to me. So I didn't have dental and vision insurance! Understanding your benefits isn't optional adulthood, it's more like survival planning. If you don't understand a benefit, ask HR. That's what they're there for. And don't hesitate to follow up if you haven't heard back. Ignoring enrollment because it feels overwhelming can cost thousands of dollars later.  Here is a hard truth, deadlines don't care about your schedule, your stress, or your intentions. Miss a form deadline and benefits don't activate, our coverage can lapse, pay adjustments don't happen. Professionals respect deadlines, even when the task isn't exciting. And we are professionals, right? That's part of being dependable.  And all this documentation follows us right into retirement as well. At the end of your career, paperwork doesn't stop, believe it or not it actually increases! Retirement accounts. Pension records. Social Security documentation. Healthcare elections. People who kept records throughout their career transition more smoothly. People who didn't often scramble at the worst possible time. Your future self deserves better than all that last-minute chaos!  I recently read something by a government agency. It said that paperwork isn't the enemy, neglect is. It made me think a bit!  The paperwork of life isn't glamorous, but it is important. Careers don't fall apart because of one bad day on the floor. They fall apart because of missed details spread out over time. Let's all be sure to handle our paperwork with the same pride we bring to our work ethic.  Oh, and I mentioned retirement a minute ago. One of the biggest myths is that retirement planning begins when you're close to retirement. It doesn't. It begins with your first benefit election, and your first 401(k) form, and your first beneficiary designation. The people who retire smoothly didn't magically get organized at 60, they stayed consistent for decades. Every form you complete correctly today reduces stress tomorrow. Every document you keep track of becomes a gift to your future self.  Let me leave this part with something simple and honest. Paperwork is how the world keeps score. It records who you are, what you've earned, what you're entitled to, and how you're protected. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away, it just hands control to someone else. So lets take ownership of it, ask questions, respect those deadlines, and keep records.   Ok, I'll leave it at that. I don't want it to sound like I'm standing up on a soap box here, but I've seen so many people struggle and take financial hits over the very things we discussed today. If you have any questions about anything I brought up, check with your HR department or a member of your management team, ask questions. And as always, feel free to send us an email to hose@warehouseandoperationsasacareer.com and I'll help find you an answer. Thanks for checking in and as always, please be safe in all you do.   

Before the Friday night lights and before the season even begins, there's one appointment that can determine athletic eligibility: the pre-participation sports physical. For pediatricians, it's often treated like a checkbox but in reality, it's a powerful clinical moment. Sometimes it is the one chance to catch something that can change a life. In this episode, we explore how to turn the pre-participation physical from paperwork into prevention. We'll break down what really matters in the sports physical, what red flags to watch for and how to use this visit to protect young athletes and support families. Kristina Wilson, MD, and Nate Howel, MD, join us for this episode. Dr. Wilson is the Medical Director of the Sports Medicine Center at Children's Hospital Colorado and an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Howell specializes in primary care sports medicine and is also an Assistant Professor.  Some highlights from this episode include: Current guidelines and recommendations for the sports pre-participation physical  Why history matters during this exam  How to handle the same day "I need this form signed now" visit  How to best conduct this during a routine checkup    For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Samantha Rux from OSF HealthCare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about school safety and school physicals as a new school year is about to begin. As students prepare for the new school year, parents are being reminded not to overlook important health essentials. Along with backpacks, new shoes, and school supplies, making sure your child's physical exams and vaccines are current is vital. Schools often require up-to-date immunizations and sports physicals, ensuring a healthy start and participation in activities. Don't wait until the last minute—schedule appointments now to avoid last-minute rushes. Road safety is very important to keep people, especially children, safe while crossing the road or riding a bike or scooter. For a full checklist of school health requirements, visit the OSF Healthcare website for guidance and resources to keep your student on track for a safe and successful return to class.

RaeAnn Tucker from the Henry and Stark County Health Departments and First Choice Healthcare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about upcoming events and health information for the community. The Henry and Stark County Health Departments, alongside First Choice Healthcare, are turning the spotlight on National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month this July with the theme “Turn Awareness into Action!” The push comes as new figures highlight serious disparities in mental healthcare access among racial and ethnic minorities. Community members are encouraged to reach out for culturally informed mental health services. Meanwhile, in-person health insurance assistance will be offered on July 30th in Geneseo and on August 1st in Colona, and student physicals and immunizations are now being scheduled ahead of the school year.

Samantha Rux from OSF HealthCare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about primary care services available through OSF HealthCare medical facilities and school physicals, sports physicals, and health wellness visits for kids returning to school in August. OSF HealthCare is emphasizing the value of consistent, compassionate primary care for all age groups. The organization highlights that Primary Care Providers (PCPs)—including doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants—play a critical role in keeping families healthy, from annual physicals to managing chronic illnesses. By building relationships with a dedicated provider, patients benefit from continuity of care, personalized advice, and a trusted partner in their wellness journey. OSF HealthCare encourages community members to prioritize routine visits, ensuring both preventive care and timely attention to any developing health needs. Patients rely on them for annual checkups, preventative care like vaccines, and support during illness. This ongoing relationship helps detect issues early and ensures tailored, consistent care. While some PCPs are doctors, others bring advanced training as nurse practitioners or physician assistants. Choosing a primary care provider means having a dedicated partner in maintaining your overall well-being across life's many stages. For more information, contact your local OSF HealthCare facility or visit their website. If you need to establish a primary care provider, you can find a list of providers with OSF HealthCare here. Primary Care Providers can conduct physicals and wellness visits for schoolchildren. You can schedule an appointment with a PCP by calling 309-852-7500 or through the MyChart app.

Friday the 13th is your lucky day - a new episode a lil' early. We pay tribute to the recently-departed James Lowe of the eminently psychedelic combo, The Electric Prunes. And "Get Me To The World On Time" has possibly the best opening of any psych tune. The lyrics describe love as a bad trip but the sounds suggest other worlds - are we caught between the real world and the vast cosmos? Who knows? The second song is by budget rockers The Chellows who turn out a pretty spiffy garage version - a cross between The Troggs and a tea-kettle! The punkers pulled out the song in the late 70s so we then discuss a rendition by The Physicals. It's got some wild free jazz sax, with the vocals of a guy who actually hasn't lost his cool. Still in Britain for a rockabilly-esque version by The Clapham South Escalators. If you liked the spaceship in the original, then you'll love this version. Finally - Richard & The Young Lions recorded a version in what seems to be the the early 2000s but the vocals sound strangely like They Might be Giants. Eat your prunes!

Samanta Rux from OSF Healthcare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about skin safety in the summer sun and school physicals. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, common in sunlight and some artificial lights, poses significant health risks. Three types of UV rays—UVA, UVB, and UVC—each affect the body differently. UVA rays penetrate deeply, promoting premature skin aging and increasing cancer risk, while UVB rays are mainly responsible for sunburn and are strongly linked to most skin cancers. Although UVC rays are the most dangerous, our ozone layer shields us from them. Repeated exposure to UV radiation can cause not only skin cancer but also premature aging and eye issues such as cataracts. Experts recommend protective measures like sunscreen, sunglasses, and limiting sun exposure. For more information, visit OSF Healthcare at osfhealthcare.org. Parents are encouraged to take advantage of summer by planning for the next school year. Scheduling a well-child visit with your child's pediatrician can cover both routine check-ups and required school or sports physicals in one appointment. Health experts advise that appointment slots tend to book quickly during the summer months, so it's wise to secure a spot soon. Early planning helps ensure children meet all health requirements before classes resume. For those needing to make an appointment, visit osf.care/gynL50W171Q for more information and to access the scheduling portal. Taking steps now can help ease the back-to-school rush.

Preparing for a child's physical exam can be daunting for parents. In this informative discussion, Isabel Montoya outlines the key components of what happens during school and sports physicals, from medical history reviews to essential health assessments.

RaeAnn Tucker from the Henry and Stark County Health Departments joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss Lyme Disease, West Nile Virus, gun locks, and sharps disposal. Health officials in Henry and Stark counties are urging residents to take extra precautions as the risk of tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and mosquito-borne West Nile Virus rises with summer activity. The Health Department and First Choice Healthcare, with the support of partner organizations, now offer Lyme disease screenings at clinic locations in Kewanee, Colona, and Toulon—most insurance accepted. Mosquito surveillance has detected the season's first positive West Nile pools locally, prompting advice to reduce standing water, use repellents, and check for ticks after spending time outdoors. Free gun safety locks and sharps disposal drop-offs are also available to protect families. For more information, visit www.henrystarkhealth.org or follow them on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

RaeAnn Tucker from the Henry and Stark County Health Departments and First Choice Healthcare Clinics joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss May designations and school physicals for your kids. Local schools may be out for summer, but it's time to think ahead about next year's school and sports physicals. The Henry and Stark County Health Departments, together with First Choice Healthcare Clinics, are now booking affordable physicals at their Kewanee, Colona, and Toulon locations—$40 cash, or bring your insurance information. Immunizations and screenings are also available. This month also spotlights important health themes: free blood pressure checks thanks to an American Heart Association grant, osteoporosis awareness, and the upcoming No Tobacco Day on May 31st. For appointments or information, visit henrystarkhealth.com or call your local clinic.

YDKJ Season 5 Episode 7 MLB- There must be a gas leak on the hot stove, cause the Mets just agreed to pay Juan Soto 765 million dollars over the next 15 years, he is 26 years old and can hit.. For the moment nothing else, with a signing bonus of 75 million dollars.     Soto's deal includes a full no-trade clause, meaning he would need to approve any deal that sees him shipped elsewhere for the third time in his career. Soto also gets to wear the No. 22 with the Mets (a number that previously belonged to third baseman Brett Baty), and a luxury suite for home games.    The O's;  The Orioles announced the signings in free agency of outfielder Tyler O'Neill and catcher Gary Sánchez earlier today. Physicals were passed and contracts inked. O'Neill received a three-year deal for $49.5 million and Sánchez received a one-year deal for $8 million.   Red Sox:  Red Sox Predicted To Sign 4-Time All-Star  Burnes To Blockbuster $218.5 Million Deal They also have signed a lefty white sox pitcher and have money to burn hopefully the get the deal done and invest in some solid player and make a run in 2025    FYI 59 days until pitchers and catchers report…..  College Football:  New West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez admitted Friday he made a mistake by leaving West Virginia for Michigan 17 years ago. Based on the welcome he got from the thousands of fans who attended his introductory news conference Friday.    Rodriguez carries some baggage. His three years at Michigan, where he was fired after the 2010 season, were marred by NCAA violations for exceeding limits on practice and training time at college football's winningest program. He was fired after six years at Arizona in January 2018 after his former administrative assistant filed a claim with the Arizona attorney general's office accusing him of sexually harassing her and creating a hostile work environment. The university said it couldn't substantiate the claims but was concerned about the “direction and climate of the football program.” The lawsuit was later dismissed.   Hopefully he has learned his lesson and plays by the rules and gives WVU some wins next season. Biggest News Bill Belichick has signed with UNC to have a fresh start in college football $10 million is his annual salary. He is going to enter into the college arena when it is starting to look more and more like the NFL landscape UNC is also giving him total control over how the funding for the program is allocated. I am looking forward to seeing what happens.  Lydia's Bucks.. Lost to those Damn Wolverines again… this has to stop, we need a new head coach who can complete the brief.. BEAT MICHIGAN. Come on Day.. do it already….  NFL    TY Johnson's Bills Lost  their game against the Rams but a great highlight was TY running in a 41 yard TD    Baltimore Lost to Philly at home.. How was the game?    Justin Tucker missed  THREE (3!!!) missed kicks, including an extra point  the Ravens' uncharacteristic red-zone inefficiency, with just one touchdown on three pre-garbage-time trips inside the 20-yard line might have contributed to the loss    Philly  Jalen Hurts 49 yard six play drive Saquon Barkley's fourth-quarter touchdown  The Eagles are 10-2 and remain just one game back of the Lions   The Ravens are now 8-5 Commanders Take on the Saints this weekend    Eagles play Pittsburgh BIG game    Raven are off,... hopefully they use it to rest up  Local sports News… Ft. Hill won again congrats to coach Alkire  F1:    Vattappan won another title this year  However Red Bull did not win the constructors cup this year instead coming in third place overall  With McClaren taking the win and Ferrari coming in Second  Looking at 2025 the grid is shaking up with Hamilton driving for Ferrari leaving Mercedes, a move no one thought would happen. Serigo Perez might be stepping down from Red Bull team with two younger drivers set to step up from the secondary red bull team Apha Tauri    2025 should be an interesting year.. Look forward to seeing how it all shakes out.
