Dr. Jose A Ramos

This week on Saddle Up, we’re joined by Dr. Jose A. Ramos, Jr., the newly named Texas Region 7 Athletic Trainer of the Year at McAllen High School.  Dr. Ramos has spent years on the front line of high school sports, protecting athletes, managing injuries, and helping students get back on the field the right way. In this conversation, he breaks down what people do not see behind Friday night lights: the preparation, the prevention work, the pressure moments, and the responsibility of caring for hundreds of student-athletes across multiple sports. We also talk about leadership, building trust with coaches and parents, and what it means to raise the standard for sports medicine in the Rio Grande Valley. What you’ll hear in this episode * What the Region 7 honor represents, and why it matters  * The daily reality of being an athletic trainer at a major high school * Injury prevention, rehab principles, and return-to-play decisions * Advice for young athletes and parents navigating injuries * How the RGV can keep developing safer, stronger sports programs
