The Developing the Occupational Athlete Project is a collaboration between UWM's College of Health Sciences, Athletico Physical Therapy and the Milwaukee Fire Department. The project is working to advance the performance of firefighters, reduce injury, improve injury care and enhance life-long health for firefighters.

Host Tom Luljak talks with Kyle Ebersole, Associate Professor of Kinesiology and Director of the Human Performance & Sport Physiology Laboratory at UWM; Jason Mims, Milwaukee Fire Department Health and Safety Officer, and Luis Rivera, Managing Partner of Athletico Physical Therapy.

Tom Luljak hosted UWM Today on WUWM for more than two decades and is the inaugural host of Curious Campus.
