Student Athletic Trainers in Action

Aside from their busy school and basketball schedules, three of our players also find time to log hours in the training room as student athletic trainers. Michaela, Emily, Paige, and Taylor are all members of the athletic training staff. This job is available to students who have passed the Athletic Training Course offered every Spring, taught by our Head Athletic Trainer, Mark “Petie” Pietrok.

As student trainers, their duties include but are not limited to: administering treatment to athletes, taping ankles, wrists and fingers, and updating electronic treatment records. Aside from putting in time in the training room, the student trainers also gain experience in the field, where they are able to observe the evaluations of injuries occurring during various sporting activities.

We are very proud of our student athletic trainers! Keep up the good work.
