Favorite Part of Being an Athletic TrainerI love being able to work with athletes from all over the world. From hearing all their life stories to watching them develop into strong individuals both on and off the playing field. It is also extremely humbling when athletes come to you for comfort when missing home or dealing with an injury, support when needing a shoulder to lean on, and for advice when they are seeking guidance. |
