In chapter five, “Facility Design and Planning”, the text talks about the design and planning of an athletic training room and how the best ones are those that have undergone comprehensive planning before its development. Spacing, lighting, accessibility, and traffic flow are key elements that should be considered in the planning of an athletic training room. The process will also include collaboration with internal and external stakeholder and contractors.
Case Study 1- Question 1: “Did Deanna employ the proper planning process when developing her ideas for the new athletic training room? What should she have done differently? How could she build a stronger case for her ideas?” Deanna didn’t choose the best way to plan and design the new athletic training room for the high school. She did what the planning committee asked her to do by meeting with the architect and discussing her ideas for the athletic training room, but she wasn’t very realistic and seemed to be asking for a lot. If she would have gone through the phases of designing and constructing an athletic training room she probably wouldn’t have proposed such an expensive design. The first phase is to conduct a needs assessment. In this phase a program statement is formed to help the architect determine what the space requirements are for the athletic training room. Since Deanna didn’t do this, the architect can’t get an idea if the 2,500 square feet that she proposed is realistic or not. She should have also
athletes in an effort to prevent injuries. They work in amateur and professional sports. Once injuries occur, the athletic trainer is required to evaluate the problem and get the athlete the proper medical treatment. He or she also makes sure that athletes are physically ready and able to play after an injury. Athletic trainers set up physical conditioning programs for athletes, work with equipment managers to make sure that playing and training areas are in working order, and also work with physicians in developing and implementing a rehabilitation program for injured players. Athletic trainers work in offices, treatment
Develops long term plans to determine need for and feasibility of constructing or upgrading athletic facilities.
Many people are more active today than they were many years ago. Injury prevention and diagnosis plays a big role in today’s society. Preventing an injury is important for many athletes all over the world, and for people that are physically active. Preventing injuries can benefit an athlete in the long run. Athletic trainers help athletes and physically active people stay healthy for what they do on a daily basis.
5. Coordinate gym use for practices and games and give final clearance for the use of either the gym or the athletic field.
Human factors are a serious reason to approach building design from several different angles. Understanding regulatory requirements will help the planning team meet the different codes required to build or remodel. Color selection and noise control affect the environment for both patients and employees so this must be selected carefully to impact the health and wellness of those who are interacting in the health care space. Purchasing the correct the equipment for the space and the employees to use on a daily basis is imperative to the budget of the facility planning process. Identifying the

Choosing a vocation can be a daunting task. With the world ever-evolving, one may come across a new attractive career every year. In order to ensure optimal job satisfaction, it is vital to educate oneself about every alluring prospect prior to committing. Simple factors like the time commitment and salary can mean the difference between a content existence and a miserable one.
The athletic training profession as we know it today first came into existence during the late nineteenth century with the establishment of intercollegiate and interscholastic athletics in the United States. (Prentice, 2014) Prior to this, early civilization athletics were unorganized. Although they were unorganized, there is information that suggests that Greek and Roman civilizations featured people who assisted athletes in reaching their peak physical condition. The evolution of intercollegiate athletics after World War I led to a new demand to prevent and manage athletic injuries. (Prentice 2014)
Management of an athletics department is extremely tricky. One must balance different sports, while keeping in mind the importance of certain sports and the importance of others. One must keep focus throughout the programs in general. Not only the function of the facilities, but of the people who maintain them and our student athletes. Along with the general descriptions, one must steady the academic function and NCAA guidelines, keeping the program in equilibrium. In referencing Scehin, caution must be used to set your eyes on one style. The DEC management style, where in the sense that winning is the ultimate objective of your battle, and yelling your point across is the best way of doing this, is not the best style. The Ciba-Geigy style is excellent in communication with lateral movement, however the lateral parts must integrate and perform as one singular unit. However, the hierarchy of family structure is interesting. The subordinates must feel the compassion and understanding of a family structure, but also must recognize the hierarchy of the chain of the command. To call an athletics department a democracy would be a bit much. However, to have a council and discussion then to make a decision based on the collective benefits of all is the way my athletics department would be.
I would like to become a certified athletic trainer through the Linfield program because of my love for sports and medicine. I was involved in a number of sports throughout my life and have gone through a number of injuries. There is one injury in particular that sparked my interest in athletic training. I was playing soccer at Chemeketa Community College when I broke my foot. I spent many hours with the athletic trainer there Julie Speck (PT/ATC/R), who gave me the opportunity to work with her in the training room. She also sparked another interest and that is to get my dual credentials in athletic training and physical therapy. I see myself using both degrees in the future like my mentor Julie Spark (PT/ATC/R). She works in a hospital as a physical therapist and is contracted out to Chemeketa Community College as an athletic trainer. This is exactly what I plan to do with both my degrees.

This study deals with high school athletics and their long-term effect in the lives of those who participate; it also deals with the positive and negative aspects of athletics during high school, and the treatment of those who participate. This study was conducted with qualitative data obtained from five personal interviews with previous high school athletes. These five people come from a range of places, ages, and experience. Conclusions are that participation in high school athletics is a contributor to a better social life and experience during high school. Good friends and influences are obtained through the pursuit of high school athletics. The long-term effects
What is a sports physical therapist? A sports physical therapist is a physical therapist who specializes in the field of sports medicine. This type of therapist is qualified to work with patients who have suffered debilitating injuries from sporting events (Thyberg). Sports physical therapists work with a number of patients with problems ranging from muscle pains to sports injuries. Their work doesn’t consist of only working with injured patients; sports physical therapists must come up with care plans, fill out paper work, and check in with their patient’s doctors for status updates. There are several components that make up the job of a sports physical therapist.
