Raider Nation

It's true. . .I've been recruited. Not as a fan. . .that's a little extreme for my taste. Sorry Greg. A couple months ago, I was approached by my professors with the opportunity to go to Napa Valley for Raider's Training Camp to be a medical intern. My Professor specifically picked me and one of my friends as being the two best for this opportunity. My friend turned it down, so it was given to me. Being a five-week commitment, I was very hesitant to accept and I had to talk to my wife about it, but in the end, we both agreed that though it would be tough to be apart from each other for that long, it would be too good of an opportunity for me to pass up. It will look amazing on my resume, and it would overall be an awesome learning opportunity. This would also serve as a chance for us to see how we would react to being apart from each other for such a long time. I want to work in Major League Baseball, and that would take me away from home for a couple weeks at a time. Out of a year, I would be out of town for 4 or 5 months. We know that the MLB season schedule isn't easy and this would be a great way to see what happens and if we can handle it. So on July 26th I will fly out to Oakland and Napa Valley. I will be at Training Camp in Napa Valley for 3-4 weeks. Then I will be on the sidelines with the team for the first 3 preseason games. 2 of them are in Oakland and 1 is in San Francisco. Then I'll be flying back on August 30th, and will start my first PT clinical the next day. It's exciting and I'm looking forward to the opportunity, but at the same time it's a new scene for me and I don't really know what to expect. But either way, on Monday July 27th, I'll be in the Training Room at 6:15 AM getting the team ready to start camp.
