#61 - Encouraging Women Leaders in Sports Chiropractic with Dr. Shea Stark

Encouraging Women Leaders in Sports Chiropractic In today's episode we've taken a bit of a detour from our typical training format to bring you a special Q&A discussion on Sports Chiropractic and how to encourage female leadership in what has been a traditionally a male-dominant profession. From treating on the sidelines to serving on the governing boards for some of the world's leading sports medicine organizations, in recent years, we have seen a positive uptick of female leadership within sports chiropractic. But, there is still much more to be done to encourage the next generation to continue to lean into opportunities to serve and step into leadership positions when they're presented.And who better to have this discussion with than Dr. Shea Stark, former president of the ACA Sports Council, current North American representative for the International Federation of Sports Chiropractic and member of the medical commission for USA Cheerleading.A graduate of Texas Chiropractic College, Dr. Shea Stark began getting involved in leadership and service positions within professional organizations while she was still a student, taking advantage of every opportunity to learn and build her network. We will touch on what she learned from these experiences and discuss the ways that being intentional about building her network while still in school served as a catalyst that continues to open doors to this day.In this fascinating conversation, we chat about:Dr. Stark's journey in pursuing a career in sports chiropracticThe importance of developing strong manual and hands-on skills to treat on the sidelinesWhat it’s like to travel the world treating high performing athletesView the video version of this interview here >> Our SponsorsThis episode is sponsored by the FAKTR Rehab System.
