A Physical Therapist

Stephania attended The Madeira School, and after matriculating went to study for her AB at Princeton University – she was a French major, and did a thesis about “La Comedia Humaine”.

Stephania started her formal working career as a teacher at the University of Kansas and stayed there for the next five years, during which her expertise in physical injury and therapy found a lot of use, especially with other fantasy football owners who started coming to her often for advice. With this encouragement, she decided to start a blog about football injuries, with her friends advising her that her expertise was marketable, especially since the world of professional football was somewhat vague at the time when it came to treating injuries. She started to do reviews of player injuries, check past injury history, and looked at player’s training activities to determine the state and nature of their ailments. She then consulted with other experts such as orthopedic surgeons to produce well-grounded predictions about future player activity. Her work didn’t stop at football, and soon she started blogging about injuries of other high profile athletes, such as Alex Rodriguez and Tiger Woods.

Doing the Injury Report

Her expertise would continue to boost her popularity, and soon many media outlets would approach her to work as a part of their sports department.
