Blog 22: Mentorship

Mentor: Brittany Menchaca, Southlands Christian
Interpretive: What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

The most important thing I gained from mentorship was not only the hands on experience but the more personal skills that come with being an athletic trainer that could not be learned from the textbook and research. It was learning about talking with each individual athlete and getting to know who they are and relating that with treating their injuries. The hands on experience gained came in the form of learning the skills such as taping, stretching, and rehabilitation exercises.

Applied: How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.

Each time I work with Brittany, I pick up on the repetitive aspects of treating an injury, allowing me to notice what important components are needed to treat an athletes injury. I also notice the skill needed to make adjustments to those repetitive actions is what makes her an athletic trainer.
