Michael's Capstone
Abstract :
For my capstone, I choose to implement a high school student athletic trainer aid program right here at SLA @ Beeber. Sports have been a big part of my life since freshman year and all throughout high school. Though all the great time spent in the gym there was also the hard time to follow including injuries. This helped me realize the importance of athletic trainers as they were the ones that helped me get back on my feet. My final project includes a video of coach King giving one of his lessons to some volunteer and future athletic trainers in a classroom setting, along with other clips of demonstrations to help prevent injuries. This project has really been an eye opening experience for me as I learned a lot through the process. The more I learned about the human body I also gained knowledge on the wide variety of things that the athletic trainer knows. I gained a new appreciation for athletic trainers and learned that they are a viable asset to the medical field and rightfully so. I hope through my project you can gain the same appreciation.
