One of the main things I learn at mentorship is being knowledgable and accurate when dealing with injuries. Another main fundamental of being an athletic trainer is being prepared. Giving yourself prep time before games or practice is critical in acting quickly in certain situations. My mentor, Brittany, always arrives to practices or games thirty minutes early so she can prep her taping station or her heal and lace pads. She explained to me that doing these little things prevents them from getting in your way when an injury eventually happens. It allows you to act quicker and does not direct your focus away from diagnosing and treating the injury at hand.
