# Embracing the Future of Sports Chiropractic: Insights from Dr. Tim Stark
## Navigating the Pathways to Certification and Professional Growth
In the final segment of our three-part Master’s Series with Dr. Tim Stark on the FAKTR Podcast, we delved deep into the future of sports chiropractic and the immense value of hands-on learning. Dr. Stark, alongside our own Dr. Todd Riddle, provided a wealth of knowledge, sharing their experiences and invaluable advice for both budding and established practitioners. Let's explore the key points discussed in this enlightening conversation.
### Understanding the Certifications: ACBSP vs. FICS
Dr. Todd Riddle kicked off the discussion by addressing the crucial learning pathways for sports chiropractors. Dr. Stark elaborated on the two primary certification bodies: the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP) and the International Sports Chiropractic Federation (FICS).
The ACBSP offers two levels of credentials: the Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) and the Diplomate (DACBSP). The CCSP typically involves around 100 hours of training, whereas the Diplomate requires about 300 hours and spans over approximately three years. Dr. Stark highlighted that hands-on experience is imperative, as the training includes practical components essential for real-world applications.
On the other hand, the FICS provides the Internationally Certified Sports Chiropractor (ICSC) credential, which parallels the CCSP in terms of training hours and practical requirements. Both certifications have adapted to modern needs by including online training components, but the necessity for hands-on practice remains unabated. Techniques such as taping, soft tissue manipulation, and joint adjustments simply cannot be mastered without direct, tactile learning.
### The Evolving Landscape of Sports Chiropractic
Jessica Riddle steered the conversation towards the broader landscape of sports chiropractic. She pointed out the significant presence of sports chiropractors in professional sports and National Olympic teams. Dr. Stark and Dr. Riddle emphasized the critical role that immersive, hands-on experience plays in the evolution of chiropractic care.
Dr. Stark shared his journey, underscoring the importance of getting involved and shaping one's career through volunteering and continuous learning. He stressed that direct interaction with athletes and healthcare professionals fosters a deeper understanding and opens avenues for growth and specialization.
### The Power of Mentorship and Professional Relationships
A significant highlight of the discussion was the power of mentorship. Dr. Stark passionately advocated for building relationships with professionals who have navigated the path one intends to follow. Observing and learning from experienced practitioners can illuminate the often-complex pathways in sports chiropractic.
He recounted shadowing numerous chiropractors, surgeons, physical therapists, and even podiatrists. Such varied experiences not only broadened his perspective but also helped him refine his professional goals. Aspiring chiropractors can greatly benefit from this approach, gaining insights and practical knowledge that textbooks alone cannot offer.
### Adapting and Reinventing: Personal and Professional Growth
Dr. Todd Riddle steered the conversation towards personal growth and the need to continually reinvent oneself. Dr. Stark shared his post-academic journey, noting his move back to Bismarck to address family needs while exploring new professional opportunities. Despite stepping away from direct sports chiropractic practice, Dr. Stark remained involved in the field through advisory roles and active participation in chiropractic organizations.
His passion for human performance and sports medicine remains undiminished. Dr. Stark continues to contribute to the field, advising organizations like the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians and the ACA Sports Council. His story is a testament to the importance of staying engaged and finding new ways to contribute to one's field of expertise.
### Filling the Cup: Personal Pursuits and Hobbies
Beyond professional commitments, Dr. Stark emphasized the significance of personal hobbies. He shared his journey from aquaponics to coffee roasting, a hobby inspired by a friend during his time in Australia. Today, he runs starkroast.com, offering fresh roasted coffee—a pursuit that not only brings him joy but also complements his professional life.
Dr. Stark’s love for motorcycles also made for an interesting sidelight. His rides across states for chiropractic symposiums reflect the blend of personal enjoyment and professional commitments, demonstrating a balanced approach to life.
### Final Pearls of Wisdom
Dr. Stark concluded with valuable advice for students and professionals in the chiropractic field. He underscored the importance of having a clear end game, retro-engineering the pathway, and the irreplaceable value of hands-on learning. Networking, observing various professionals, and seizing every opportunity to learn and grow are pivotal steps toward a successful career in sports chiropractic.
#### Embrace Your Journey
Whether you're a student or a seasoned practitioner, the journey in sports chiropractic is one of continuous learning, adaptability, and passion. Dr. Stark's insights remind us that while the landscape evolves, the foundational principles of hands-on experience, mentorship, and personal growth remain constant. As we navigate our paths, let’s strive to embrace every opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to the future of sports chiropractic.

# The Evolution of Sports Chiropractic: Insights from Dr. Tim Stark
## Unveiling the Future of Sports Chiropractic and its Educational Pathways
In the final installment of the FAKTR podcast’s “Master’s Series: Sports Chiropractic” featuring Dr. Tim Stark, we delve into the future of sports chiropractic, educational pathways, life’s unexpected twists, and the importance of hands-on learning. Jessica Riddle, along with Dr. Todd Riddle, provide a platform for Dr. Stark to share his invaluable experiences and inspiring journey in the world of sports chiropractic.
### Paving the Path: Understanding Sports Chiropractic Certifications
Sports chiropractic has come a long way in recent years, with sports chiropractors now prevalent in professional sports teams and National Olympic teams. Dr. Tim Stark offers an in-depth overview of the two primary certifications in sports chiropractic: the CCSP (Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician) and the ICSC (Internationally Certified Sports Chiropractor).
The **CCSP** is granted by the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP). This credential requires roughly 100 hours of training and is often completed within a year. For those aiming to go further, the **Diplomate** extends to about a three-year credential involving approximately 300 hours of immersive training.
On the international front, the **ICSC** is provided by the Federation Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport (FICS). This certification mirrors the CCSP in terms of duration and training hours. Both certifications emphasize the need for hands-on training, as practical skills like joint manipulation and soft tissue techniques can’t be solely acquired through online modules.
### Journeys of a Sports Chiropractor: Emphasizing Hands-On Learning
Dr. Stark and Dr. Todd Riddle share a mutual belief in the importance of hands-on learning. Dr. Stark reminisces about his residency which enabled him to garner real-world experience alongside theoretical knowledge, making it possible to accumulate the required 300 hours for his Diplomate.
“Practice makes perfect, but perfect practice makes perfect,” Dr. Stark asserts, emphasizing that practicing incorrectly can lead to ingrained imperfections. The hands-on experience is indispensable, whether it’s learning to handle joints, reading tissue movements, or mastering taping techniques.
### Life's Unexpected Turns: Embracing Change and Remaining Adaptable
Dr. Tim Stark’s professional and personal journey is a testament to resilience and adaptability. Rooted in his hometown of Bismarck due to unforeseen circumstances, he has exemplified the art of reinventing one's career. His roles have spanned from directing the Human Performance Center at Northwestern to serving as an assistant dean at Bismarck State College.
Despite the curveballs thrown by life, including the unfortunate passing of his parents, Dr. Stark has found new ways to contribute to the field of sports chiropractic. His current roles, such as being a presidential adviser to the ACBSP and contributing to international discussions on education, keep him actively engaged and fulfilled.
### Building a Career: Advice for Aspiring Chiropractic and Rehab Students
Dr. Stark offers sage advice to students in chiropractic, physio, and athletics training fields. He stresses the importance of having a clear end goal: “Identify where you want to go and then retro-engineer the path to get there.” Participation in sports, whether through volunteering or professional involvement, is tremendously beneficial.
Mentorship also plays a critical role. Aspiring professionals should seek multiple mentors to help navigate their chosen career paths. Immersing oneself in various disciplines, from shadowing chiropractors to observing surgeries, can reveal hidden interests and refine career aspirations.
### Fueling Passion: Personal and Professional Growth
The conversation takes a lighter note with discussions about personal hobbies, which for Dr. Stark include roasting coffee and riding motorcycles. His unique journey into coffee roasting began with an Italian friend’s influence and has now evolved into a small business named Stark Roast. Such passion projects not only provide relaxation but also fuel personal growth.
On the professional side, staying actively involved in teaching and advisory roles feeds Dr. Stark’s passion for sports medicine. He remains committed to mentoring and fostering growth among the next generation of sports chiropractors.
### The Ultimate Learning Resource: Hands-On Experience and Continuous Education
To students and professionals alike, Dr. Stark’s top recommendation is immersing oneself in hands-on experiences. Resources like FAKTR offer pivotal training in rehab and soft tissue interventions. Certification programs like the NSCA’s CSCS and various NASM credentials can further enhance clinical practice.
The evolution of sports chiropractic is ongoing, and it’s driven by professionals who are willing to adapt, learn, and contribute continually. Dr. Tim Stark's journey serves as an inspirational roadmap for anyone navigating the dynamic landscape of sports chiropractic.
For those interested in deeper dives into performance-based care, stay tuned for the upcoming episodes of the FAKTR podcast, as they continue to push the boundaries of knowledge and practice in the health and sports sectors.

**Blog Post 1: The Future of Sports Chiropractic and Certification Insights**
**Subheader:** Understanding the Evolving Landscape and Certification Options for Aspiring Sports Chiropractors
### Introduction
The field of sports chiropractic has seen remarkable growth and evolution over recent years. Understanding this progress, alongside the certification options available, is crucial for aspiring sports chiropractors aiming to make an impact in professional sports and on National Olympic teams. This article delves into the future of sports chiropractic and explores the various certification paths that ensure practitioners are well-trained and equipped to meet the demands of athletes at all levels.
### Overview of Certification Paths
#### ACBSP Certification
One of the primary certification bodies is the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP). This body offers two main credentials: the Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) and the Diplomate. The CCSP is typically a one-year certification that involves around 100 hours of training. In contrast, the Diplomate is more extensive, requiring approximately 300 hours of training, usually achieved over three years. These programs emphasize both theoretical knowledge and hands-on training, ensuring comprehensive preparation for practitioners.
#### International Certification through FICS
Another significant certification is the Internationally Certified Sports Chiropractor (ICSC) offered by the International Sports Chiropractic Federation (FICS). The ICSC certification is similar in scope to the CCSP and requires around 100 hours of training. Like the CCSP, the ICSC combines online training with mandatory hands-on components. This ensures that practitioners gain practical skills in areas crucial to sports chiropractic, such as taping, soft tissue manipulation, and joint manipulation.
### The Evolution of Training Methods
#### Transition to Online Learning
Traditionally, sports chiropractic training was heavily face-to-face, with practitioners needing to travel monthly to attend weekend courses. However, there's been a significant shift towards online learning. Although this has made training more accessible and affordable, some skills, particularly those requiring tactile feedback like joint manipulation, are still best learned through face-to-face instruction. Hybrid models that combine online theoretical learning with occasional hands-on sessions are becoming increasingly popular.
#### Hands-On Experience
Hands-on experience remains a cornerstone of effective sports chiropractic training. Techniques such as taping, soft tissue manipulation, and joint adjustments can't be adequately taught through online modules alone. There is a consensus that having an experienced instructor present to correct and guide while performing these techniques is invaluable. The adage "perfect practice makes perfect" highlights the importance of practicing under expert supervision to avoid developing improper techniques.
### The Role of Volunteering and Mentorship
#### Immersive Learning through Volunteering
Volunteering to serve athletes at different levels offers invaluable experience and networking opportunities for aspiring sports chiropractors. Engaging in volunteer work allows practitioners to apply their skills in real-world settings, dealing with actual sports injuries and conditions. This immersive involvement is critical for understanding the dynamic needs of athletes and provides a practical context that augments formal education.
#### Building Relationships and Mentorship
Mentorship is another crucial element in the development of a successful sports chiropractor. Building relationships with seasoned professionals can provide insights beyond what is taught in the classroom. Mentors can help navigate career challenges, offer advice on complex cases, and assist in professional growth. Students and new practitioners are encouraged to seek out mentors actively and engage with professional organizations to expand their networks.
### Conclusion
The future of sports chiropractic is bright, with increasing recognition of its importance in enhancing athletic performance and managing sports injuries. Aspiring sports chiropractors have several certification paths to choose from, each with its unique advantages. The transition towards online learning, complemented by hands-on training and real-world experience through volunteering, ensures comprehensive preparation. Building relationships and seeking mentorship further support professional growth, positioning sports chiropractors to succeed in this evolving field.

**Blog Post 2: Reinventing Careers and Finding Fulfillment in Sports Chiropractic**
**Subheader:** Navigating Career Changes, Volunteering, and Mentorship in Sports and Human Performance
### Introduction
The career path of a sports chiropractor is often dynamic and multi-faceted. Many professionals in this field find themselves pivoting roles, venturing into new specializations, or balancing positions within academia, clinical practice, and administration. This article explores how sports chiropractors can reinvent their careers, the significance of mentorship and involvement in professional organizations, and ways to maintain personal fulfillment and balance.
### Career Evolution and Transitions
#### From Academia to Clinical Practice
Many sports chiropractors start their careers in academia, contributing to the field through research, teaching, and clinical education. However, shifts in personal circumstances or professional interests may lead to transitions into full-time clinical practice or administrative roles. Practitioners often find that their training and experience in academic settings enable them to excel in various other capacities within the healthcare ecosystem.
#### Administrative Roles and Human Performance
Taking on administrative roles, such as directing human performance centers or working with educational institutions, can be equally rewarding. These positions provide opportunities to influence the training of future sports chiropractors and to promote best practices in athlete care and performance enhancement. Such roles often come with the responsibility of overseeing curriculum development, managing research projects, and building relationships with industry stakeholders.
### Importance of Hands-On Learning and Real-World Experience
#### Volunteering at Athletic Events
To stay connected with the practical aspects of sports chiropractic, volunteering at athletic events is highly beneficial. This kind of involvement offers real-world experience and a firsthand look at the immediate effects of chiropractic care in improving athletic performance and treating injuries. It also provides a platform for networking with other healthcare providers and sports professionals.
#### Mentoring Future Leaders
Mentoring the next generation of sports chiropractors is crucial for the growth of the profession. Experienced practitioners can offer invaluable insights and guidance to students and new chiropractors. Mentors help mentees navigate the complexities of the profession, from clinical decision-making to career development, ensuring that the standards of care and professionalism are upheld.
### Personal Fulfillment and Work-Life Balance
#### Finding Joy in Hobbies
Personal fulfillment extends beyond professional achievements. Finding hobbies and interests outside of work can greatly enhance life satisfaction and mental well-being. For example, engaging in hobbies like roasting coffee, motorcycling, or any other passion project provides a creative and relaxing outlet that balances the demands of a professional career.
#### Navigating Personal Challenges
Life’s unpredictability, such as family health issues or global events like the COVID-19 pandemic, can influence career paths and personal decisions. During such times, many professionals reevaluate their priorities and make decisions that align better with their personal values and family needs. Adapting to these changes with a positive outlook can lead to new opportunities and greater life satisfaction.
### The Role of Professional Organizations
#### Engaging with Professional Bodies
Active participation in organizations such as the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP) and the International Sports Chiropractic Federation (FICS) is highly beneficial. These bodies provide platforms for continued learning, professional development, and networking. Engaging in the activities of these organizations helps practitioners stay updated with the latest advancements and research in the field.
#### Leadership and Advisory Roles
Taking leadership or advisory roles within these professional organizations can also be fulfilling. These positions offer the chance to shape the future of sports chiropractic and contribute to the evolution of the field. Whether serving on the executive boards, as a presidential adviser, or as an educator, these roles enable experienced practitioners to leave a lasting impact.
### Conclusion
Reinventing a career in sports chiropractic involves embracing change, seeking continuous improvement, and finding balance between professional and personal life. Through hands-on experience, volunteering, and mentorship, practitioners can stay connected to their passion and contribute positively to the field. Engaging in hobbies and participating in professional organizations further enhance personal fulfillment and professional growth, ensuring a well-rounded and satisfying career.

**Blog Post 3: Incorporating Hands-On Skills and Personal Passions into Sports Chiropractic Practice**
**Subheader:** Enhancing Professional Expertise and Personal Happiness through Diverse Experiences
### Introduction
Blending professional expertise with personal passions can create a fulfilling and dynamic career path. For sports chiropractors, this means continually developing hands-on skills while also engaging in activities that bring personal joy. This article explores the integration of hands-on skills, the importance of continued learning, and the role of personal hobbies in maintaining a balanced and satisfying career.
### The Importance of Hands-On Skills
#### Practical Training in Sports Chiropractic
Hands-on skills are integral to the practice of sports chiropractic. Techniques such as joint manipulation, soft tissue work, and therapeutic taping are best learned through direct experience under the guidance of skilled practitioners. This practical training ensures that chiropractors can effectively address the needs of athletes and offer high-quality care.
#### Continuing Education and Skill Enhancement
Continuing education is vital to staying updated with the latest techniques and advancements in sports chiropractic. Workshops, seminars, and certification programs offer opportunities for practitioners to refine their skills and learn new approaches. Engaging in these educational activities helps maintain a high standard of care and keeps chiropractors at the forefront of the field.
### Integrating Personal Passions
#### Finding the Right Hobby
Personal hobbies provide a necessary balance to the demands of a professional career. Activities like motorcycling, aquaponics, or even coffee roasting can be incredibly fulfilling. Finding a hobby that resonates can serve as a creative outlet and a source of relaxation, helping to rejuvenate the mind and body.
#### The Benefits of Hobbies
Engaging in hobbies offers several benefits, including stress relief, improved mental health, and opportunities for social interaction. For example, coffee roasting not only serves as a passion project but also allows for the enjoyment of a personally crafted product. Similarly, motorcycling can provide a sense of freedom and adventure, enhancing overall life satisfaction.
### Professional and Personal Integration
#### Balancing Work and Hobbies
Balancing professional responsibilities with personal hobbies requires careful time management. Setting aside dedicated time for hobbies ensures that they receive the attention they deserve without compromising professional commitments. This balance is essential for maintaining enthusiasm and energy in both areas of life.
#### Personal Growth through Professional Challenges
Embracing professional challenges can lead to significant personal growth. Taking on new roles, such as leadership positions within professional organizations, provides opportunities to develop new skills and perspectives. These experiences not only enhance professional expertise but also contribute to personal development and fulfillment.
### Mentorship and Community Involvement
#### The Value of Mentorship
Mentorship plays a crucial role in the growth and success of sports chiropractors. Experienced practitioners can offer guidance and support, helping new chiropractors navigate the complexities of the profession. Being a mentor also allows seasoned chiropractors to give back to the community and contribute to the development of future leaders in the field.
#### Engaging with Professional Communities
Active engagement with professional communities, such as the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP) and the International Sports Chiropractic Federation (FICS), is essential for continued learning and networking. These communities provide valuable resources, support, and opportunities for collaboration, helping practitioners stay connected and informed.
### Planning for the Future
#### Setting Long-Term Goals
Setting long-term goals is crucial for career development and personal fulfillment. Practitioners should have a clear vision of where they want to go and the steps needed to get there. This process involves continuous learning, seeking new opportunities, and being open to change and growth.

**The Future of Sports Chiropractic: From Education to Practical Application**
**The Evolution of Sports Chiropractic**
Sports chiropractic has seen an incredible evolution in recent years. From its roots in basic chiropractic care, the specialization has burgeoned into a critical component of professional sports teams and national Olympic squads. Sports chiropractors are now indispensable in ensuring athletes' optimal performance and recovery. With such growth, education and hands-on learning have become paramount to preparing practitioners adequately for the challenges they will face.
**Establishing a Strong Educational Foundation**
One of the first steps in becoming a certified sports chiropractor involves understanding the two major credentialing organizations - the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP) and the International Sports Chiropractic Federation (FICS). Both organizations offer rigorous academic programs that include hands-on learning experiences, which are vital for mastering the practical skills necessary for the field.
- **ACBSP Certification**: ACBSP offers two primary credentials: the Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) and the Diplomatic Credential in Sports Chiropractic. The CCSP is a one-year program involving approximately 100 hours of training. The Diplomatic credential extends this training to 300 hours, typically over three years, although some practitioners complete it through intense residencies.
- **FICS Certification**: Similarly, FICS provides the Internationally Certified Sports Chiropractor (ICSC) credential, which is equivalent to the CCSP in duration and rigor. Both credentials listen to the modern era's demands by integrating online training, an addition that offers flexibility but still mandates critical hands-on components.
Despite the shift towards more online learning modules, the critical aspects of sports chiropractic—like taping, soft tissue manipulation, and joint adjustments—are best learned through direct, hands-on training. Practitioners agree that practicing these techniques perfectly, under the supervision of seasoned professionals, is irreplaceable.
**The Power of Experience and Mentorship**
For students and practitioners aspiring to excel in sports chiropractic, gaining as much real-world experience as possible is crucial. Volunteering, joining student organizations, and actively participating in sports-related healthcare roles can provide invaluable insights. Building relationships and seeking multiple mentors within the field will offer diverse perspectives and guide practitioners in refining their career paths.
One piece of advice for students is to understand their ultimate career objectives and work backward to map out the necessary steps to achieve them. By immersing themselves in various roles, shadowing professionals, and volunteering in different healthcare settings, practitioners will better understand their interests and capabilities, sometimes even finding unexpected passions.
**Current Professional Directions**
In the field, many seasoned professionals often find themselves continuously reinventing their expertise and exploring new opportunities. Transitions into roles such as deans of health sciences or directors at educational institutions are common, yet the pull of hands-on human performance and sports medicine often remains strong.
For those stepping down from administrative roles or considering semi-retirement, there's a lot to gain from advising and mentoring the next generation of sports chiropractors. Engaging in these roles ensures that years of experience and hard-learned lessons continue to benefit the profession and its future leaders.
**Personal Growth and Fulfillment**
Beyond professional achievements, pursuing personal hobbies and interests is essential for maintaining a balanced and fulfilling life. Engaging in hobbies can be incredibly rewarding, whether it’s embarking on motorcycle journeys across the country, experimenting with coffee roasting, or any other activity that brings joy. These pastimes offer a mental reprieve from the demanding healthcare environment and help sustain a sense of enthusiasm and zest for life.
**Optimizing Learning Resources**
For those looking to further their knowledge, several resources stand out. Certifications like the National Strength and Conditioning Association’s (NSCA) Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) or the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) certifications offer robust educational frameworks. Additionally, practical interventions such as the Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation (FAKTR) program provide game-changing insights into sports chiropractic and rehabilitation.
Whether still in educational programs or actively practicing, sports chiropractors must seek continuous learning opportunities. Leveraging resources, cultivating mentorships, and engaging in hands-on experiences are paramount to advancing in the specialized and dynamic field of sports chiropractic.
**A Future-Oriented Perspective**
The shift from pain-based care to performance-based care is a vital evolution in health settings. This mindset encourages healthcare providers to focus not merely on treating existing conditions but on preventing injuries and optimizing overall performance. This approach aligns perfectly with the goals of sports chiropractic and promises a future where athletes can achieve better outcomes through comprehensive, proactive care strategies.
In essence, the future of sports chiropractic looks promising, filled with advancements in educational pathways, increased professional opportunities, and a growing emphasis on performance-based care. As the field continues to evolve, both seasoned and aspiring sports chiropractors will find ample opportunities to contribute meaningfully and lead fulfilling careers.

Deeply involved in sports chiropractic education through entities like the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP) and the International Sports Chiropractic Federation (FICS), could you highlight the distinctions between these organizations for us?
**Dr. Tim Stark [00:01:56]:**
Absolutely, Todd. The ACBSP offers the CCSP and the Diplomate credentials. The CCSP is typically a one-year certification entailing around 100 hours of coursework, while the Diplomate spans roughly three years with about 300 hours of training. I completed my Diplomate through a comprehensive residency, which allowed me to accumulate those hours efficiently.
On the other hand, FICS provides the Internationally Certified Sports Chiropractor (ICSC) certification, roughly equivalent to the CCSP in terms of duration and content, including around 100 hours of training. Both certifications require hands-on components, which are crucial in learning skills like taping and joint manipulation that can’t be effectively taught online.
**Dr. Todd Riddle [00:04:22]:**
That's a great overview. Both types of training have their unique strengths. On a personal note, finishing my ICSC online was incredibly convenient given our shifting times, but hands-on training remains irreplaceable. What are you up to these days, Dr. Stark?
**Dr. Tim Stark [00:05:15]:**
Well, Todd, I'm back in my hometown of Bismarck, North Dakota. After decades of traveling and teaching, I've settled here to be close to family. I currently hold the position of Director of Research at Bismarck State College. Although my roles have varied over the years, my passion for sports chiropractic and human performance remains strong.
**Dr. Todd Riddle [00:07:39]:**
It’s inspiring how you’ve adapted over time. Reflecting on your experiences, what advice do you have for students contemplating their career paths in chiropractic or related fields?
**Dr. Tim Stark [00:08:11]:**
The key is to have a clear end goal and to actively seek experiences that align with that vision. Getting involved in relevant activities, volunteering, and finding multiple mentors are crucial steps. These connections can open doors and guide you through potential career pivots that you might not have considered otherwise.
**Dr. Todd Riddle [00:12:20]:**
Perfect advice, Dr. Stark. Shifting gears a bit, what’s been fueling your professional growth lately?
**Dr. Tim Stark [00:13:31]:**
Engaging in conversations like this one, participating in international chiropractic meetings, and advising current leaders through roles with the ACA Sports Council and the ACBSP keep my enthusiasm alive. These activities help me stay connected with the evolving field and contribute positively to its future.
**Dr. Todd Riddle [00:15:17]:**
And on a personal level, how do you recharge?
**Dr. Tim Stark [00:15:33]:**
I roast coffee! It’s a hobby that turned into a small venture, StarkRoast.com, where I roast and sell coffee to order. Riding my motorcycle is another passion, and I’m excited about an upcoming trip to Denver for the ACA Sports Council Symposium.
**Dr. Todd Riddle [00:20:35]:**
Fantastic hobbies! Let’s wrap up with this: What's one essential resource you recommend for students or professionals in the rehab world?
**Dr. Tim Stark [00:20:54]:**
Hands-on experience is irreplaceable. Shadowing practitioners, diving into organizations like FAKTR, and obtaining certifications like the CSCS from the NSCA or various credentials from NASM can profoundly enhance clinical skills and knowledge.
**Dr. Todd Riddle [00:22:40]:**
Thank you, Dr. Stark. Every conversation with you is enlightening and appreciated.
**Dr. Tim Stark [00:23:04]:**
Likewise, Todd. It's been a pleasure. Cheers.
**Jessica Riddle [00:23:24]:**
