Maggard said he was thinking about it and not sure how to implement it. My God, nothing hard here. Make and appointment and go take a physical. If it is mandatory the athletic department pays for it, if not it's up to you and your insurance.

Please don’t let the insurance mess this up.

Let’s see if the national media spins this one

In the old days a number of companies had physicals, including some who did heart & GI testing, as part of their yearly medical plans. I don't think it's a bad deal for either party.

It should not only be suggested, but expected.

Please don’t let the insurance mess this up.

Almost all group carriers include an annual checkup. Really this shouldn’t be a big decision.

Friends and I talked about this after Robe’s passing. This should be mandatory every summer for every coach on staff. We need this to happen. Even though I can’t figure out why any coach over 40 would not be doing an annual physical.
