Rico, a masters graduate in athletic training from Oregon State University. Will be holding certifications and degrees in Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), bachelors degree in exercise science, Oregon State University Gatekeeper Training, National Athletic Training Association certification, BOC for NWATA, and a capstone that included the studies of concussion law implementation for rodeo athletes.
