    • Hope College

      Jun 2008 - May 2010

      Athletic Training students were responsible for pre-practice set up, treatments, and taping. ATS also had to travel with their respective team assignments and be present at all home events for that team. At Hope College I worked with Men's Tennis, Men's basketball, Track and Field, Women's Soccer, Men's and Women's swimming, Softball, and Football. During my time at Hope College I also spent clinical experience time at a physician's office, a physical therapy clinic, and a high school. First Responders were responsible for coverage of the Hope College summer sports camps for children ages 5-18. First aid and hydration were the main services to be provided, but first responders were also responsible for their supplies, budget, schedule.

Each intern was assigned a specific position group to work with which they were responsible for during practice and games. I was assigned to the outside linebackers.
