When the Butler Club Ultimate Frisbee team discovered its ability to practice was in jeopardy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 28-year-old head coach Arthur Small knew just what to do.
After all, Small is a population health manager for Indiana University Health, which means he oversees regional operations & strategy deployment for population health initiatives, and holds a Masters Degree in public health from Boston University.
So, he hosted a meeting with the four captains of the team in which he created a COVID-19 proof plan. Then, he met with club sports coordinator Bailey Finocchio. Small and Finocchio’s plan was comprehensive yet simple: buy masks for the team, social distance, and for Small, taking all the equipment home to clean it.
