Volunteer Keynote speaker: Kevin Carroll self proclaimed instigator of inspiration shared his message and left everyone with his 7 rules of the red rubber ball.
AMTA:National convention kicked off with keynote speaker, 23 time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps . Phelps talked about how massage was a vital part of his everyday elite athletic training protocols but also shared about the positive mental health aspects that massage has contributed to his life as well. Sadly he didn't stick around for photo ops, so we were sorta bummed by that.
