Thanks for the heads up.  They released a bit of this last week in NOLA.com.  I am still trying to figure out how he had the time to work with his Michigan locations, the Dolphins and someone in Bogalusa, LA.  

I am guessing the show will answer any questions anyone had.

From the clip on the Barwis website from the show, it appears that she came up to michigan to do the rehab training:

Those clips appear to show the inside of one of the Michigan facilities.  Also the Chive article linked below has her wearing a Michigan shirt in one of the pictures.

 

Also Katie gets a shout out in Barwis's TEDxUofM talk:  http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/Untapped-potential-Mike-Barwis

So Barwis is picking out wedding dresses now instead of coaching football players?! /s

Great story and good job by Barwis taking the platform given to him to truly help people regain their lives.

Most everyone is familiar with the expression "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

In a bizarre way, RichRod's Michigan crew today has way more going on in pieces than it did as a group in 2010.

* Barwis (regardless of whether you believe in the "Barwis Method") is a minor celebrity and successful gym owner.

* Jay Hopson is semi-famous light-complected coach at Alcorn State.

* RichRod had a lucky season this year, but he has still redeemed himself at least a little bit.

* Scott Shafer is the head coach at Syracuse.

* Tony Gibson (!) is WVU's defensive coordinator.

* Greg Frey is the co-offensive coordinator at IU.
