Athletic trainer

Right now I’m going to talk about the first simulation I remember doing. I forget the name of the simulation, but what I don’t forget is what the simulation was about. First off, the simulation took place when I was in 4th grade (closer to the beginning of the year). We got to simulate leaving England and going to the United States of America. The class was separated into groups of four based on our tables. I was in a group with Isaac, Jared, and Alyssa. After we got in our groups roles had to…

Viewing two side by side stereoscopic images or photos through a stereoscope. In 1929 Edward Link created the “Link trainer” probably the first example of a commercial flight simulator. US military bought six of these devices for $3500. In 2015 money this was just shy of $50 000. In the mid 1950s cinematographer Morton Heilig developed the Sensorama which was an…

Anyone who trains seriously knows the meaning of intensity. It is the trainer against the weights with only two possible outcomes: complete the lift or fail. As the trainer makes there way to the bar they began to prepare themselves for there final bench press, the real deal, the pump to the iron, the best of the set, and they know what needs to happen to complete this exercise. The trainer’s adrenaline is rushing as they begin to prepare to un-rack the weight, slowly lower the bar to their…

acknowledge their situation and express a desire for personal improvement. As a personal trainer I worked with many of these people and know from personal experience that the most common excuses for inactivity are “I’m too tired” and/or “I don’t have the time”. These excuses stem largely from a constant struggle between…

Topic of Interest Paper Most elderly clients view personal trainers with tattoos negatively. For clarification, when I refer to elderly, I mean people aged 65 and older. This belief is inspired by the fact that the current generation of elderly people didn’t have as many tattooed individuals as is the case in this day and age. As one of my professors put it, “If you had a tattoo back then, you were cool. [And] It symbolized that you were part of a gang.” In that example, the word gang refers to…

For instance, Dr. Larabee is not only a personal trainer but also a science teacher and the chairman of the science department for Front Range Community College; a licensed chiropractor; and, not to mention, an international and national…

development of this contrast. These factors include conflicts in the view of American womanhood, fans only accepting athletes who meet the “white beauty queen” standard and athletic competition being seen as being a men’s activity. Before looking at why there is a contrast between the growth in the participation of women in athletics and the difference in popularity between women’s and men’s sports, it is useful to look at the contrast itself. The growth in women’s…

be like to graduate as an athletic training major and some of the misconceptions. There is a clear difference between athletic trainer and personal trainers. Most people will confuse some of the roles of other jobs with that of an athletic trainer. The technology we use is similar to that of a physical therapist although our main job is to prevent. Although our jobs are similar we had to complete different levels of education. According to the national athletic trainers association (NATA), we…

In the article I read ‘Why Certified Athletic Trainers Are important’ it explains that the main job of an athletic trainer is to be able to recognize and evaluate sport injuries. They are also able to help prevent injuries for athletes. In the article in one high school they don’t have an athletic trainer. How are the coaches evaluating student athletes? To make sure they don’t have a concussion or any other injury. Although since 1998 the (AMA) American Medical Association formed a policy that…

My current career aspiration is to be an athletic trainer at a clinical outpatient facility associated with a hospital or rehabilitative center. Based off information from the NATA website, clinical outpatient practices’ websites, and informal observations it seems that those athletic trainers who work in this setting have set hours working at the facility or high schools but also cover games and events as needed during afternoons, evening and weekends. One short term goal that would help me…
