Introduction to Career An athletic trainer is the person that you would go to if you got hurt during a sports game. Every school should have one; they are the ones that would rap your ankle, wrist, or ice anything that is hurting you. I chose this career because you get to be involved with sports and help others heel. Athletic trainers help prevent and treat injuries for people of all ages.

Nature of Work

During the day a Trainer could be doing anything from raping ankles or do physical therapy. In the interviews I watch most of the trainers have three-fife students that need their help to get better .

Working Conditions

Most of the time the Trainers are outside or in the training room getting checked out for any serious injuries, or they are just in there to fix what they injured.

Uses of Technology in Career

• Database software so that the trainers have every player on file and if they have a background check if they have injured the same place more than once.

• Injury tracking software: track how many players are injured. This replaced keeping track records of players injuries.

• Email software: to e-mail coaches, players, parents, etc.; about what is going on during the week and weeks to come. This replaced sending a letter or telling them in person and having someone forget what the trainer said.

Summary

I have always wanted to be a trainer, it gives me the opportunity for when I am older to be involved with sports. Also my mom was one so when ever I get injured she always knows what to do. And also for my kids when I have them and they get injured I will be able to help them like my mom has helped me.
