In today’s episode, I am joined by my father Mike Stratton DSc, PT, ATC, MA. He is also the owner of Stratton Sports Medicine.
It seems that there are many divisions in our Nations/World right now. How can we stand up, see that we can have a disagreement and not be disagreeable, and be unified as communities?
My dad and I explore this question and a few others in this episode. I hope that as we have witnessed the attack on Ukraine this week. We can ask ourselves these very questions. Find ways to be more unified. See that we have more in common than we know and truly love our neighbors as ourselves.
My dad is one of the greatest friends of my life. He has helped make me who I am today and has been there for me through everything. He has a doctorate in sports, science, and physical therapy and a master’s in athletic training and biomechanics. He has traveled and trained with many celebrities and Olympic athletes.
He grew up in a family of eleven siblings and learned how to put his best foot forward in every way. From the age of 5, he was riding a Shetland pony called Henry and has been in the rodeo world on and off all his life. He took a break for 10 years while going to college. He says there is nothing like a great family, great friends, and great horses.
At 12, Mike got his first job as a paperboy and would ride his Welsh pony Pistol through town delivering the papers, and his work ethic won him a trip to Disneyland. My father and I are now putting on Cowboy Up and Cowgirl Up camps.
The camps are aimed at helping young people to learn confidence, joy, and how to build relationships. Learning to work with and ride a horse is a great confidence builder and at the same time, you are building a relationship with that horse.
