My Experience Of Working With Soccer, Hockey, And Football

Some athletes were happy to see their athletic trainers while others seemed not so thrilled. I watched and noted athletes getting ice therapy or heat, were happy about seeing their AT, Athletic Trainer. While the athletes working on rehab were not so thrilled because of the hard exercises they were having to complete. One athlete walked in looking very upset about something; they walked straight up to their Certified Athletic Trainer and asked to speak with them in private. They disappeared and I brought my attention back to the athletes being taped. As I listened, in on the conversations it was quite funny to listen to the “locker room talk”. While I observed the Athletic trainers, I noticed none of their tape jobs were the same in the end. All of them looked different and each athlete seemed to have a person they liked to get taped by. One athletic trainer had a line of about four athletes even though there were other tables open. After fifteen minutes or so of observing taping, I noticed the athlete who had been upset earlier came out of the office, tears on their face but with a small smile too. I witnessed how the athlete came in sad and teary eyed only to come out of the office now laughing and smiling. It hit me that these athletes confide in their Athletic trainers to not only fix their

Sports have been a huge part of my life ever since I was about five years old. It has impacted my life so much. The biggest challenge that I faced was with my injuries during basketball and soccer season. I recently had to quit soccer and basketball, which was difficult for me.

Becoming a student athletic trainer has changed me greatly. I learned responsibility and the depth of what goes on in sports behind the scenes. I now know how to assist people when they’re hurt by taping their fingers, wrists, hand-wrist combinations, ankles,

Because I am acknowledging the importance of the role of an athletic trainer, I am able to welcome the assortment of tasks I may come in contact with. By embracing the athletic training program, I will consistently strive toward the best alternatives and resolutions in circumstances I will be involved in.

I interviewed Charlie Hart who is an Athletic Trainer at Marvin Ridge High School. This is his third year as an Athletic Trainer at the school, and he also teaches classes during the day there as well. During the interview, I gained lots of helpful insight about the Athletic Training Profession. I first met Charlie Hart because I had a semester internship with him during my senior year of high school. I really enjoyed the internship, and learned a lot about the Athletic Training profession.

To satisfy my curiosity and gain a broad understanding of athletic training, I chose to interview my boss, Pete Stevens. Pete is employed by Physiotherapy Associates, a nationwide corporation that specializes in physical/occupational therapy, athletic training, and fitness/sports training. He has worked there for three years. He is currently the Head

On Saturday November 4th, I visited Maine South High School to observe the athletic training room facility. I had emailed the Head Athletic Trainer, Jerry Bornhoff prior to my attendance to make sure I was allowed to shadow him for the day. A Maine South football game was scheduled for the afternoon, and the facility was packed with football players. Throughout the time I was there, I made sure I noted the whole process of an athlete from when they first arrived and when they left the training room facility.

I have always loved sports ever since I was a little kid. Some of my earliest memories are of playing soccer with my friends on a wet, cold spring day or hitting a ball off of a tee and feeling like it went a mile, when in reality it only went about fifty feet. Even to this day I still can never get enough of sports. I get about four weeks off out of the entire year where I’m not technically in a sport, but I’m still always practicing and trying to get better because that’s the only way I know. I love everything about sports: the friendships, the competition, the passion, the atmosphere, the unity. Sports are one of my true loves and they consume my life. It is this strong desire that I have for sports that has driven me to want to pursue a

Back on campus, USD Athletics allowed her to practice her skills by interviewing student athletes after games. “No one taught me how to do it. I was horrible,” she admitted her thoughts of her past tapes. Albeit cringe-inducing, these interviews helped her cement her second internship.

For as long as I can remember football has been a part of my life in some way, shape, or form. When I was first born my grandfather said that I was solid and built to play football. I used to throw the football with my mother when I was a toddler and she always told me that when I tried to tackle her I hit really hard. My first organized football experience was when I was five. I had just moved to Manassas, VA from Washington, D.C. in 1994. It was around fall and that was right at the beginning of football season in the area. I remember telling my mother that I wanted to play, so she looked for a local organization for children. She came across the Greater Manassas Football League (GMFL) and that is where I began to play the game I
