Want to know who see's everything at The Ranch? Who runs the room where Kyla Ross said cameras should follow the team if they really want to see where the action is at camp. Who we would pick if we were going to pick a doctor to take care of our kids while they traveled around the world flipping at speeds that would make an astronaut jealous? It's USA Gymnastics Team Physician, Larry Nassar, A.T.C. He's a professor, a certified athletic trainer, an osteopath and one of the most caring human beings you could ever hope to meet. A blunt, honest, experienced professional who tells it like it is. He can do that because he's so compassionate. We discuss:
- What Marta calls him about the most. (This will make you happy gymternet)
- What it was like to be part of the 2000 Olympic "hell"
- Dealing with parents who will not accept responsibility for their child's health
- The one change he would make in order to prevent injuries
- What injustice the International Olympic Committee commits against gymnasts
- Why The Ranch is no longer- as the fans formerly called it- "Death Camp"
- Changing the camp culture to prevent athletes and coaches from hiding injuries
