Why We Do It
“I’m going to college to be an athletic trainer and because of the family, I’ve made through it. I’ve met some of my best friends here.” Taylor Young, 12
Time/Days/Where We Meet
Fourth period and after school for sports practices.
What Other Students Think We Do
“Students think that we only give water to the football players, but it’s way more than that. We have to go through a class to learn about treating these athletes and all the different injuries they could acquire. We are there just as much as the athletes.” Maddie Phipps, 11
What Our Parents Think We Do
They think I just stand there and give the players water and Band-Aids.” Jada Jett, 11
What We Really Do
“I set up for games, make ice baths and ice bags, and take care of the players by giving treatments, providing water, and cleaning up wounds.” Blaire Bussey, 11
