Student Athletic Trainer Report
In this newsletter, I learned many things that student athletic trainers are responsible for. From providing players with water to assisting with medical treatments, student athletic trainers take on a lot of responsibility. These student trainers specifically work at Notre Dame, and it was not easy getting the spot.
To Qualify for the spot on the Notre Dame’s student athletic training team, they had to apply for the spot, be interviewed, and they had to shadow upperclassmen for a year before becoming one of the twenty to continue for the next three years. Being a Student AT at Notre Dame comes with a lot of responsibility including putting in up to 20 hours of work during football season. Student trainers assist the head trainers in the training

    The meeting started off by the advisors discussing about the new mentorship program they are promoting to the EDN students. It’s like the Athletic Mentorship program where a EDN student who passed EDN 200 becomes a mentor for a student(s) who is either a first or second-year student that has yet to complete EDN 200. The mentors would guide the mentees on any questions they have on the EDN program, Taskstream, field experience, etc., and give them advices on what they’ve learned in the past to do in the first-level courses of the program. Then one of the advisors discussed what Teach First is and welcome anybody who is a first-generation student to come to the meetings. They discuss on upcoming service opportunities the club is going to take…

    I interviewed Ben Cleveland, who is the head Athletic Trainer for Oklahoma Baptist University. Athletic Trainers are not technically a field in leadership studies, but this interview was very beneficial to be because I want to be an Athletic Trainer at the high school level. This interview just reassured me that being an Athletic Trainer is truly what I want to do with my life. Before talking about how Ben views leadership, one has to know and understand his background and where he is coming from. Ben is originally from Mobile, Alabama and earned his undergraduate in Science in Athletic Training from the University of Alabama soon after that he obtained a Master’s of Science in Physical Education at Florida State University. Ben started as an assistant athletic trainer at Trevecca Nazarene University for seven years before accepting the job here at Oklahoma Baptist University.…

    College athletes are continuously busy in the sports they participate in. They must be involved in both regular season and off season training, deal with rigorous travelling schedules, and depending on the athletic program, participate in a variety of service events. One of their greatest responsibilities is to portray a positive image at all times. As a result, they have no time to obtain a job like many other college students. There have been many news reports that have exposed and reprimanded colleges and athletes who have been involved in the exchange of inappropriate benefits. These benefits can include items such as money, cars, clothes, and some schools are even taking care of their players’ family members back home who are in great need of financial assistance (Hagedorn 122). Their dedication to their sport prevents the opportunity to get jobs at a McDonalds or any other place of employment.…

    Student athletes feel that playing should be compared to a job. Student athletes supposedly practice about 49 weeks out of the year. Those 49 weeks are longer than any class schedule for any full time student, going to school year round. Though student athletes practice that many weeks out of a year its apart of a commitment they have made. What student athletes consider as a job is more like an internship, but with benefits. Student athletes get a tutor, free education, and a chance to exceed to the next level.…

    One of the most controversial topics discussed in collegiate sports, is that of whether college athletes should receive compensation beyond their financial aid for the services they perform. College athletics are a major source of revenue for universities, yet the student athletes rarely reap the benefits of the hard work that they provide. While students are awarded scholarships for their attendance in school, this aid at times, is just enough to cover housing, books, and tuition. Many would say that this is more than enough. What is not being kept in mind, is that the amount of hours that student athletes dedicate to their respective sport, is usually more hours than that of a full-time employee (Th). Leaving them with no extra time to indulge in employment elsewhere.…

    College athletes are called amateurs, but are they really? Some of these kids are making millions of dollars, not for themselves but for their universities and coaches. Many college players are referred to as “student athletes”, with teachers and coaches constantly putting an emphasis on the “student” part; although many student athletes identify with the latter. When their participating in their sport or doing their school work how are they supposed to have the normal college experience?How are they going to afford food and other items college students need? The question of whether or not student athletes around the country should be paid or not has been lingering around college sports as long as college sports itself. College athletes around the country have been making millions of millions of dollars for their alma maters, however, they aren't getting a penny for their performance. This may be an argument for why student athletes should actually be paid. This topic has gotten huge attention, and the highest authorities of the NCAA have acknowledged it. With the momentum this topic has achieved, there are many questions that must be asked: Who would pay them? How do you pay them? How much do you pay them? There are so many questions that schools and the NCAA board need to ask. Although there are many unknowns circling this issue, one thing is for sure – student athletes deserve to get a piece of the pie they helped baked.…
