Dr. Eric Freitag is a licensed clinical psychologist, board-certified neuropsychologist, and certified Emergency Medical Technician. His clinical expertise includes assessing and treating dementia, traumatic brain injury, and sports concussions. He is the founder and Executive Director of the Mt. Diablo Memory Center.
Dr. Freitag works extensively with individuals who have experienced sport-related concussions, including current and retired professional athletes and collegiate and high school student-athletes. He previously served as the Co-Director of the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland Sports Concussion Program. He is a consultant with UC Berkeley and St. Mary’s College sports medicine departments and works with several Bay Area high schools.

We found this conversation critical for understanding concussions and having an action plan for treatment from the moment of injury. It is a must listen for parents of youth athletes and coaches alike.

| 0:32.6 | It's waterproof. |
| 0:33.9 | It's indestructible. |
| 0:35.3 | It's him. |
| 0:35.5 | My voice got lower. |
| 0:36.8 | It will hold wolverines and like lava, but it's big enough. Literally, I put my lunch in, my computer in. It's got pockets from my watch. Your gym clothes, your water bottle. I love this thing. You got in a Camino, and I was like, oh, I'm going to use this for my bike bag. This is super cool. And then I saw you back and forth every day, and I was like, give me one. Yeah, I mean, it literally is my everyday bag. |
| 0:55.9 | And of all the Yeti stuff that I use, it's the thing that more people stop me and say, what is that thing? Like, what are you carrying? |
| 1:03.1 | Yeah, it's stiff enough in the opening and the whole bag has enough integrity that you don't lose anything. There are pockets around the inside. And then the handle, this is actually crucial. You can throw it over your shoulder, but halfway down the handle, there's a rigid, like, grip. Right, so you can suitcase carry it. Yeah. So you're not just, like, dragging your bag along the ground. This thing rules. It's so easy to shuttle in and out. Man, if your kids, laundry, college, it's you. If you |
| 1:30.3 | literally have to go someplace, comes to different sizes. If you need to like put your wet stuff |
| 1:34.8 | somewhere, like if you've been to the pool or training or you need to put wet clothes, this thing is |
| 1:38.9 | like the ultimate carry-all. We always are carrying one. We have one in the back of our truck. It is like the universal best bag that you can get. |
| 1:48.0 | We've improved the lives of a lot of our friends. And it's cute looking. |
| 1:52.3 | Comma. You can get it in black too, just so you know. Look, if you want to get your own Camino, go to the readystate.com slash Camino. |
