Mentoring
by Jason Marketti
I have been on a search for years for a mentor. Not only one that helps me develop as a PTA, but also in my personal life. I need someone that can understand my point of view but allows me the insight into another perspective. I would like someone who Read More...

CPR and CEU Money
by Jason Marketti
I recently took a BLS instructor course. (I will be able to teach CPR and first aid among other things.) I was initially told this was covered by my CEU money, and later told it was not. Then I thought, why wouldn't it be? It could turn into a great marketing Read More...

Life Goals
by Jason Marketti
Randy Pausch's book, The Last Lecture is excellent. Section V has been re-read multiple times. It was like taking his short but successful career with all his knowledge and experience and condensing it into 30 small chapters. Another book that should Read More...

Just the Assistant
by Jason Marketti

Where Are the PTA Authors?
by Jason Marketti
During my education in school as a PTA we did not use any books authored by PTAs. Why not? There weren't any available. But the athletic trainer book was more acceptable than one written by a therapist. Imagine that. I am sure there are PTAs who enjoy Read More...

Book, Books and more Books
by Jason Marketti
I like to read. Not only that, I have a small library at home (once encompassing our two car garage). Often the subject of the book is unimportant to me. It is the way a writer will tell a story. Within the first page or two I can tell whether it will Read More...
