What Cogent Steps Students Are Saying About Our Courses
The Emergency Response for the Athlete course continues to make a difference for sports medicine professionals across the country. This fall, Cogent Steps brought the course to Beechwood, Ohio, where instructor Dr. Mike Turnwald guided participants through realistic emergency simulations inspired by live athletic events. The hands-on training helped attendees build the confidence and skills to respond quickly and effectively in the field.
Greg, a participant in the Beechwood class, shared his appreciation for the engaging, practical instruction and the quality of the learning experience, saying “I just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU for a great class in Beechwood.”
He went on to praise Dr. Turnwald’s expertise and the engaging, hands-on approach that made each scenario feel authentic and applicable: “Mike, I feel fortunate to have had you as the instructor with your expertise, background, tips, and real-life examples. I really liked that we did real scenarios displayed in events on YouTube. You are a true asset to Cogent Steps!”
Reflecting on his professional growth, Greg added, “I still have a lot to learn as I do more venue coverages, but your class was well done and great start. I purchased the supplies kit and appreciate you having this resource available to us.”
He closed with a look toward future learning opportunities, adding, “I plan to use Cogent Steps in the future for recertification.”
Cogent Steps is grateful to Greg and all of our students for their enthusiasm and commitment to athlete safety.


Greg, thanks for the great feedback. We strive with every course to make it a positive and worthwhile experience. Dr Turnwald is one of the best!
