Great article on Jeff Allen and the training staff.

Last week, I called the man who was named Head Athletic Trainer of the Year by the National Athletic Trainers Association in 2018.

"What's going on?" I asked Allen.

‌
"Oh, we're just trying to heal some bodies," he said. "I feel like Humpty Dumpty in here, just putting them back together again."

"I always wanted to remind myself that we have to be on the cutting edge," he said. "If you're going to work at a place like Alabama, you have to constantly be looking for ways to make the program better."
