WARRENSBURG, Mo.-- There is a new face on the sidelines this year, working with Mules and Jennies athletes.

He also taught classes at St. Louis University and did some rehabilitation consulting with the St. Louis Rams, which he started in the summer of 2009. He then served as the athletic trainer with the Harlem Globetrotters for one season.

For 11 seasons, Dubuque was an athletic trainer with the St. Louis Rams. He has worked with some great athletes, including Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce and others.
