In the past month at my mentorship, things have been going great. I have learned many news facts and tasks for the field of athletic training. For instance, I learned how to properly wrap an ankle. At first, it was very difficult to get all the steps in order and make sure that each step is performed well. Also, now that football season is over, the trainer now focuses on basketball season and what is expected for that particular sport. This past Tuesday was North Hall's first scrimmage of the season and I attended that with the trainer. Mainly for basketball, trainers have to be aware if any player rolls an ankle, strains a shoulder from shooting too much or even getting a concussion from hitting the floor too hard. I am very excited to see a different side of athletic training when it comes to basketball.
One class I've had in high school that has helped me with my mentorship is Human Anatomy & Physiology. That class has helped me because it taught me certain medical terminology and key terms that I will need not only in my mentorship but in my college classes and career in the future. This class has prepared me for what I am doing now because I can understand what the therapists and the athletic trainer is saying when they use certain medical terminology.
