Ep 100. To The Bone Podcast: ROI Calculator with Michael Stant

In this episode of To the Bone, Shelby Daly sits down with athletic trainer and ROI calculator creator Mikey Stant to unpack the real economics of athletic training. They dive into why documentation matters, how athletic trainers can demonstrate measurable value, and what return on investment looks like across high school, college, industrial, and military settings.

Mikey shares the origin of his free ROI calculator and explains how it helps athletic trainers track patient encounters, field coverage, avoided medical costs, and time savings for families. The conversation also explores the bigger questions facing the profession: how to negotiate pay, how to advocate for better compensation, and why athletic training may be one of the clearest examples of accessible, high-quality, preventative healthcare.

If you’re interested in athletic training, sports medicine, healthcare economics, or learning how to better communicate the impact of your work, this episode is for you.
