Remember what it was like when you first got started in massage? It was exciting and scary at the same time. Wouldn't it have been nice to have someone to give you some advice, some encouraging words, or just someone to talk to that understands what you are going through?
What a gift ! !

The Sports Massage Team worked at the Escape from Siesta Sprint Triathlon on
Sunday, September 14, 2008. It was a beautiful day for an event like this.
The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the athletes were swarming to
the massage tent! We had 3 therapists (Sarah Hunter, Maria Calain, and
Jennifer Clarkson) and one student (Morgan from SSMT) working the desk. We
all got the chance to get our hands on a large number of local athletes, network
with potential clients, and make some money! All in all it was a wonderful
success! Thanks to all who showed interest in working this event and
especially to those who were there the day of the event.
The next Sports Massage Therapy Workshop (5 CE hours) has been scheduled for
Tuesday, 09/30/2008.
Please call Pete Pfannerstill at 813-482-7200 and he'll send you a registration
form or go to his web site at
www.ultrasportsmassage.com and print a form from there.
This workshop will satisfy the training requirement for Team membership.
He has also scheduled two 16 CE hour Sports Massage Seminars from 10/01/2008 --
10/04/2008 to be held in conjunction with the above workshop.
