My project interest started last year, when I was lucky enough to shadow at the Cornell University Athletic Training room, for two sports teams. By having this experience, I wanted to explore more into the profession of Athletic Training. Along with being a dedicated athlete, having injuries propelled me to research more about the difference and similarities between injuries. My main goal is to discover the answers to many of my research questions, and have as many hands-on experiences as I can. These experiences include visiting different sports medicine facilities, and comparing professions within the large field. A large part of my project will be spent learning how to develop rehabilitation plans for athletes. This is one of the most important skills to have as an Athletic Trainer, and a large interest of mine. More specifically with Athletic Training, I want to focus on the difference between high school and college Athletic Training, and the injuries that come along with it. With great references around Ithaca, large amounts of my time will be spent in various facilities, sports practices and games, and interviewing topic specific professionals.
I'm extremely excited to get started!
