What Coaches And Trainers Need

Stories become a great influence on people as they view other people either on television or through a book as they explain their struggles or experiences. They should not view them as a negative perspective because of the media. In the article, “ Slippery Slopes: Media, Disability, and Adaptive Sport,” the author William Peace notes how the media shows disability out as “something to be miraculously and inspirationally ‘overcome’ with real consequences”(Peace 676). When taking a gander at somebody with an incapacity, people tend to believe that they are not ready to do the things that individuals with abled bodies can, which is false. While having an incapacity there are approaches to work around things. People don't have to surrender and

Among these strengths, I have some weaknesses and challenges I will need to overcome. Foremost among these is the physical side of the Service Academy lifestyle. I lack upper body strength, and I seldom hold myself to any rigid or intense training regimen. Because of this, I will have to overcome the physical barriers presented by the candidate fitness assessment and daily physical training at an Academy. To prepare myself for this, I have begun working out almost daily at home, focusing on my own personal weaknesses and striving to overcome the challenges they

Some careers in Athletic Training require further education such as a Master’s Degree. Fields of study can include the musculoskeletal system, the practice of athletic training, [and] biomechanics and experimental treatments.

Some runners fear the possibility of injuries such as shin splints, twisted ankle, etc. But imagine running a 5k with these injuries- along with cerebral palsy. Renowned sports writer Rick Reilly captures the moment Hanna High junior Ben Comen, who’s body is wrecked by cerebral palsy, crosses the finish line of his cross country race in the piece ”Worth the Wait”, written in 2003. Flagged by his teammates opponents, and even the girl’s team Ben tumbles in a last ditch effort across the line to the screams of the crowd. It’s near impossible to imagine what it’s like to not control your body for such a long distance, enduring the adversity along the way, but Reilly pushes the reader to run alongside Ben throughout the story. He paints an image

A couple years back when my mother had back surgery, I would always help her up, which I seemed pretty good at, because she would always say, “Whenever you help me I can never feel it. You are really good at this.” At that time it had gone in one ear and out the other. That’s not until two years ago when my grandmother was really sick, so we had to stay days with her because she couldn’t be by herself. She was sleeping the whole day, so something just told me to wake her up. After I woke her up, she sat up for a few minutes. My family gave her some medicine and then her eyes started rolling behind her head, and she was unresponsive. At that time I rushed and called 911. The whole time I felt as if I was in a daze. At that

Two athletes may be facing an identical injury but the rehab plan may be very different based on the athlete’s unique personality, physique, and athletic needs. The AT is constantly thinking about how to prevent injury, how to diagnose an injury as soon as possible, how to rehabilitate an athlete as quickly as possible, and return the athlete to play safely but briskly. An additional reason for pursuing Athletic Training is the challenge and reward of the athlete being a uniquely valuable and complex individual, who is the core of AT work.

Matuska et al. (2003) determined QoL is improved with a wellness program in adults aged 65 and older. Rimmer et al. (2011) determined children with disabilities, acquired or congenital chronic conditions have an increased rate of secondary disabilities. Secondary disabilities are prevented and managed with rehabilitation, health promotion, assistive technology, and policy (Rimmer et al., 2011). Physical and occupational therapists are rehabilitation professionals with education in health promotion, assistive technology, and communication with policy makers (Accreditation Council for Occupation Therapy Education, 2016;

Today, people aid disabled men and women in their activities so that they can make a well-loved living. Discrimination in the world today, involving race and gender, has lessened dramatically. Track, and several other sports, is now easier for disabled, African-American women to participate in. Modern technology helps people with disabilities to include themselves in sports they both love and enjoy. Wilma serves as an inspiration to anybody having doubts about their

To begin, Maniac would be a perfect athletic trainer because he is very athletic.He shows his athleticism when he plays football in the gym class he can catch a ball punt the ball and is very fast.As in this quote “... he turned and punted the ball. It sailed back over the up-looking gym-classers, spiraling more perfect than anything Brian Denehy had ever thrown...”Another characteristic of an Athletic Trainer is compassion. Maniac also shows lots of compassion when he helps Amanda get Hester and Lester in the bath.You need compassion to be an Athletic Trainer because people don’t want to have an Athletic Trainer that is very merciless, and doesn’t want to work with you.You also need to be athletic to be an Athletic Trainer

Paulette Esquivel was told by medicine professionals that she would never walk and she is now a “gold-medal runner.” “Esquivel, 15, won a long-distance race at the special Olympics Texas Spring Games in Weslaco.” Many people often tend to believe that if someone is mentally ill or handicapped that they aren’t capable of achieving glory in an athletic point of view. Esquivel, as previously mentioned, is an example of how capable these children really are, they give it their all. I have first-hand experienced how hardworking, dedicated, and athletic this children are by volunteering at our annual Special Olympics at Weslaco High School.

Today’s sports medical teams have changed a lot compared to the better part of the 20th century. This is especially evident at the collegiate and professional level of sports. With this change has come the incorporation of several key medical team members, one being the athletic trainer (AT). I was an athlete in several sports from my youth through high school. Sports have led to my ongoing passion for fitness as well. Over the years, I’ve become keenly interested in the body and the way it works especially when it is performing at high levels. An AT practices in the field of rehabilitation, performance enhancements, diet and nutrition, and much

Everyone has dreams and goals, some people may stick to them and some may not. But I will make sure that I will stick to my goal and that goal is to be a physical sports trainer. Ever since I got hurt and tore my ACL I everything was over, but the trainers gave me confidents again and I wanted to play football again, and that's why I want to become a trainer because they didn't give up on me.

Aging in general is a difficult process but added a disability makes it much harder. Eddy contracted polio in the 1950s when there was an outbreak. Because of this disease he lost one leg, he grew up having to use crutches his whole life. His family was very involved with sports, his father wanted to keep his kids strong and mentally tough. He grew up with a normal life, being involved and not felling any different. He is thankful that his dad pushed him to do his best in life with his academics and sports. He has won a gold and silver medal nine-times in the Paralympics and in the pan American Lifting Games. Growing up with a disability is difficult but it made him stronger. While in high he was involved in football and rowing, his teammates welcomed him and this made him happy. His parents were his roll models, he was a view president at a company in Philly, until losing his job. Following in his dad’s footsteps he built a gym in their house at the age of 14. Kids from around the neighborhood would come over to train, from ages 16-20. This is when he began his journey for weight lifting began. Living day by day helped him deal with the health issues he faced. Staying positive is very important with living with a disability.
