Mentor Meeting
I met with Mrs.Bryant briefly yesterday and today...double the dosage! I mostly told her about what I had been doing lately, which was getting in contact with people to interview and shadow. I also got a lot of my research done, and will be continuing a new topic each week. Tomorrow I'm leaving for a wedding in NYC and am very excited, although that means I will be missing class on Monday. I plan on stopping by Ms.G's room and getting the scoop on what I missed. As for blogging the rest of the week/ weekend it will be happening!

Class
Today in class we talked over possible ideas to get a fundraiser. The other WISE class had thought of ideas to do a talent show for teachers, which Mrs.Gergely seemed to approve. Other options included a type of dancing with the stars fundraiser, still involving teacher participation. We then moved onto discussing our show & tell objects/ research for a friend. A vast majority of the class had interesting things to share, and talk a little bit more about their project. It was nice to see the progress other people have been making in their process to their final project. I brought in pre-wrap and training tape. Although there wasn't much to explain or show (yet) it's still a very important piece to athletic training. Taping prevents any future injuries and provides support to a particular part of the body that is needed. All different kinds of tape can also treat an injury, which can help with swelling and other effects to an injury.

Research Topic: Stress Fractures
Due to the scrambling of last week, Mrs.Bryant and I didn't get to meet last week. We will most likely try for another day this week.
Bernie DePalma did respond to e-mail and said athletes were on break last week, and will be back Monday. He said he would let me know practice schedules for the week, and let me know which days are good to come.
And of course every Sunday is research day. As promised a low-down of information on Stress Fractures...
Basic Info
-A stress fracture is caused by overuse, and seen commonly among athletes.
-Usually, a fracture or broken bone is caused by a car crash, or a fall. But in this case it is due to a high force causing the fracture
-Occurs when forces are lower, but going for a long time= "fatigue fractures"
-Most commonly seen among athletes who jump and run on hard surfaces. Such as basketball players, ballet dancers, and long distance runners.
-Can occur in any bone, most commonly seen in the foot and shin bones. Rarely seen in upper body because the weight of your body is is not supported by yours arms, as it is in legs.
Diagnosing
-X-rays usually don't show stress fractures, may show evidence of bone healing around the fracture.
- MRI or bone scan may be necessary if the injury is unclear or the problem doesn't resolve with treatment.
Causes
-Bone is constantly undergoing changes to adapt to its environment.
-Increasing activity in a short amount of time.
-Dietary abnormalities or menstrual irregularities. Any problems with dieting (poor nutrition, anorexia, bulimia) or menstruation (amenorrhea) may place a person at higher risk for a stress fracture.
-This puts young female athletes at a larger risk to develop a stress fracture.
Treatments
-Best treatment is get rest for the fractured spot.
- Weight-bearing should be avoided, using crutches, or maybe even getting a cast.
-"If there is pain, don't do it".- Rule of thumb
-Ice injured area.
-Wear proper footwear, increase activities gradually.

Snow Day Researchin'
Since we had a snow day at the end of March, I thought I would get a head start on my research topic for this week.
Stress Fractures are commonly seen all throughout sports fields. They are usually caused from overuse of the muscle and bone, and can result in a drastic injury. In this injury it is very important to take care of your body not only during the athletic competition, but before and after. Below is a link to get you started on your knowledge of this injury!

E-Mails...
Just going to throw this out there first.....I got into Brockport last night!!!!!!!
Okay anyways back to business...
I e-mailed Bernie DePalma the head athletic trainer at Cornell to update him on my project. To inform people who didn't know, I interviewed Bernie for my english portfolio back in the first semester. He is a valid source for anything, and has so much knowledge in his field. The e-mail consisted of asking to come up to Cornell to possibly interview some athletes that come into the training room. One aspect of my project that I'm truly interested in is the athlete-trainer relationship, told from an athletes perspective.
As for Kim...I plan on going to her training room tomorrow to get the details on when I can come shadow her/ help out.

Class
In class today we discussed upcoming events such as show and tell day, and having community journal reads. As usual, Ms. Gergely wanted to know how we were doing in our project progress. She also told us the minimum of journal entries.....17.....I have 18...victoryyyy! At the end of class, we started to read Happiness Revisited and gave us a bunch of questions to respond to....
1.) To be honest, many things make me feel happy. I would have to say my top two are Spring days, and the feeling of being on the court, winning a basketball game. There's nothing better than switching from the dreary days of winter, to the brisk tempertures of Spring. Not to mention my birthday's in April, so that is a plus. Everyone knows losing a sporting event can be a very miserable time. I do feel most comfortable in my happy place, on the court, about to win a basketball game. Nothing can replace hours of anxiety leading up to a game, and finally taking a deep breath and relaxing, knowing the work has been done.
2.) I really enjoyed the article, and found it very interesting. It was cool to see how all of the studies towards happiness have been looked at through the years, and how it's evolved. People have always said money can't buy happiness, and this message was portrayed throughout the reading. I also enjoyed the idea of knowing everyone has a different happiness, and they are entitled to that for life.
3.) I feel as though I'm at A4 on the flow chart. I have had previous knowledge of my topic, and continue to be engaged by challenges that lay before me in this process.
4.) In the beginning of my project I was lower on the flow channel, and not that interested in my work. But as time goes on, I have been getting more engaged with what I do everyday. I knew from signing up for this class, the project aspect of the second semester will have it's dry spots. But I know as time goes on, my work tends to get more interesting and captivating.
5.) Anyone can achieve flow by doing their work daily. Doing little bits of work, and making sure you don't save all the work for the last minute can help you in this process.

Shin Splint Wrap Up
So I decided to hit the books on this research topic, and read up in The Principles of Athletic Training, Eighth Addition, By Daniel D. Arnhiem, and William B. Prentice. Bernie DePalma mentioned to me that this book is the first book a freshman receives while majoring in Athletic Training.
Basic Info
-Shin Splints are formally called Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome. It accounts for about 10%-15% of all running injuries, and up to 60% of all conditions that cause pain in athletes' legs.
-Characterized by pain and irritation in the shin region, usually attributed to an inflammation in the tendon of the posterior tibialis muscle or long flexor muscle of the toes.
-The cause of this injury speculate from faulty posture alignment, falling arches, muscle fatigue, overuse stress, body chemical imbalance,and lack of muscle coordination.
-Caused by running on uneven, hard surfaces, long lay-off period of exercise, exercising in worn-out shoes, and excessive uphill and downhill running.
Management
-Constant heat in the form of a whirlpool, ultrasound therapy, supportive taping and gradual stretching.
-Ice massage to the shin region and taking two aspirins have been beneficial before a workout.
-Ice application should be followed by a gradual stretch to both the anterior and posterior aspects of the leg.
-Gradual stretching should be routine before and after every physical activity for all athletes who have a history of shin splints.
Common Occurrences & Preventions
-Occurs largely among runners and athletes in sports such as soccer, which involve extensive running.
-Completing a correct and thorough warm up before a workout will help prepare the muscles and tendons for any activity to come.
-Keep a structured stretching routine
-Strengthen and condition the lower leg

Mentor Meeting on a nice SPRING Day
On this beautiful Thursday afternoon, I ventured my way over to Mrs. Bryant's office to have our weekly meeting. Although it was hard to stay inside, we made our meeting short and sweet. Lately I've been worrying if I've been doing enough work week to week, so I started out by addressing that with Janie. She gave me some ideas such as not trying to do too much, then get an overload of work at the end of the project. Those kind words of wisdom really made me feel better. My to do list certainly is hefty, but I do feel as though I have some good things going, and lot's more to go. I began to explain my future plans with her which included: Getting the athlete- trainer relationship on both the high school and college level, shadowing Kim Bailey and a trainer at Cornell, and somehow incorporating a photography aspect to my project. Mrs. Bryant told me to take it a week at a time, and continue with doing a weekly research question, which I plan to continue.

Research Topic of the Week
Although it is Tuesday....I wanted to address a topic of the week, and get some information out there today.
Especially during track season the common topic of Shin Splints is a common injury Athletic Trainers. I decided to hit up the internet for a little bit of information before I really hit the books that Bernie DePalma gave me.
http://www.thestretchinghandbook.com/archives/shin-splints.php
I found this site to be very helpful. Not only does it show the background info of the injury, but it touches upon the stretching aspect of preventing it as well. With being an athlete, and having my dad (track and cross country coach), I hear enough of the phrase "STRETCH NOW" than anyone. Stretching is one of the most important pieces to staying healthy, and ridding of an injury.

Class
Today in class we started with going over our requirements, and journal entry styles. We talked about all the different kind of approaches you can use to writing in your blog. While going over these tips, I did realize I have been doing all of the right things. On the other hand, I did notice I have been slacking in the amount of blogs I've posted. So now, getting a wake up call I do promise to blog more than 3 times a week.
Comparing the two readings we browsed over is quite simple. Both "Practicing", and "Two Tramps in Mud Time" directly correspond to our WISE class. I was so surprised to make so many connections, even in the first couple paragraphs. More specifically these readings show the process of doing a large project, and how progress is made every day. It represents what were doing in our day-to-day experience, trying to plan, work, and get a hands-on experience. It shows the high times and the lows, which I certainly have been facing. Lately my project have been going slow, and I've not been knowing what to do. Just like in in this poem, but as time goes on I'll begin to brainstorm more ideas, especially in the research area.
These two reading relate to each other by means of each season. During each season brings a new kind of attitude to their prospective projects. Time can correspond with each season, and will get better as time goes on, and you spend more time with your task. Each address the idea of never being afraid to do something new, and never hesitate to step outside of your comfort zone.

Mentor Meeting
Friday's mentor meeting was very short, but sweet. Mrs. Bryant and I talked over the evaluation she had to do, which only took a little. Other than that, she just told me to keep and going and push more information out on the weekend, when I have more time.....So I took that advice to heart and keep going on my research...
I decided to research more on concussions after talking to Kim Bailey about them last week, it really got my interesting. I popped up on youtube to see what news reporters have been saying lately, because this has been such a huge topic in the headlines. I found this video to be very informational, and provides great details to this injury.

Interview
After school I interview Kim, and got the following information....With spring sports bustling through the training room, we chatted and had a nice talk about these specific questions.
1. How many hours of work do you have a week? responsibilities? Such as before/during/after practices
-It depends on the season of each sport, usually fall sports require the most amount of hours, and spring is the least because of games ending earlier. I spend anywhere from 15-45 hours in total a week. My responsibilities include taping, looking over injuries and progression with each athlete, and provide any service that's in my power.
2. What are you planning on getting when the new building is built? What supplies do you wish you had?
-Were getting a whole new training room, the hospital and medical center are providing a whirl pool, new tables, and more 2 longer tables. I wish I had more room as a whole, and more room for rehabbing. This includes having an eliptical, bike, wall straps, and permanent therabands.
3. Responsibilities during games? Topic of hydration
-During the game I mostly keep an eye on the game, and evaluate any injuries that occur. Athletic Trainers are usually the ones to check the weather, and especially watch for lightning. As for hydration, I check weather, and look at the field weather. If the temp. is over 90, we modify practices. And if the temp. on the field is over 95 then we immediately cancel any play. It's important to provide water before and after any type of play during this weather.
4. Describe Physical Therapy aspect? Connection with Dr. Getzin
-Dr. Getzin is my medical supervisor, which every Athletic Trainer must have. He is the physician that overseas my work, and is on-call all the time for injuries at IHS. Because there isn't much physical therapy that can go on at IHS, I'm in contact with Getzin about putting athletes into therapy at Cayuga Medical Center.
5. Cayuga Medical Center duties?
-I am a physician's extender which entails helping order x-rays, remove casts, help with injections, take patients histories, and much more.
6. High school vs. College injuries?
-I believe that their are more injuries in high school. Athletes are still developing skill level, and still developing their bodies. Their are far more high school teams in existence, and injuries sometimes relate to poor conditioning. Athletes in high school are always less prepared, especially when they make a large jump from modified sports to varsity.
7. Common sports specific injuries?
-Basketball: Concussion, ankles
-Football: ACL, Concussions, Hip Flexor
-Wrestling: Skin infections, Elbow dislocations, Shoulder
-Soccer: ACL
8. Topic of concussions and impact testing
-It's been a very important topic in the media, which has helped the issue, and made it more well-known. The downfall has also been over-diagnosing, because of the scare which come along with concussions now. With talk of adding helmets to Girls Lacrosse, you can see how big of an impact this injury has on all contact sports.

Interview Tomorrow/Mentor Meeting
Sooooooooo the interview with Kim Bailey, IHS head Athletic Trainer is finally happening tomorrow afterschool, along with another mentor meeting with Mrs. Bryant. I've been planning my questions for Kim, and look forward to talking to her, and visiting my old home, the Training room since winter sports are long gone.....I know she may be busy with spring sports starting up, but even on the very first day of seeing her, I'll give her a hand.
I also plan on getting in contact with Bernie DePalma, Cornell Trainer, to set something up with him as well....

Class
Today in class we split up into small groups to discuss the projects we had individually. Processing these older projects really gave me a wake up call, to get moving on my project. Although I have slowly been going at my project, it showed me how I really need to pick up the pace. We all agreed on how much we have to do throughout the year, and it'll take a lot more effort than what we're doing now. We put together a recipe of having a successful project, and journal. I really hope to have a well planned-out project, and keep things very neat, and clear.

Mentor Meeting/Change of Plans
On Thursday during 5th period, Ms. Bryant and I had our mentor meeting. We talked about my future plans, and what I was planning on doing. She also asked me important questions such as where am I going with my project from here? I feel as though those type of questions are needed especially in the early process of my project, where I'm still trying to figure that out....
Because of spring sports starting on Monday, my interview with Kim got pushed back to next week, and I will discuss my spring plans with Kim then as well.
At my mentor meeting we discussed the type of questions I should be asking Kim during our interview.....
1. How many hours of work do you have a week? responsibilities? Such as before/during/after practices
2. How do you adapt to your facility? What are you planning on getting when the new building is built? What supplies do you wish you had?
3. Responsibilities during games? Topic of hydration
4. Describe Physical Therapy aspect? Connection with Dr. Getzin
5. Cayuga Medical Center duties? And how those relate to those at IHS?
6. High school vs. College injuries?
7. Common sports specific injuries?
8. Topic of concussions and impact testing

Class Make-Up: Barnsong
As I said in my earlier post I was absent for our class on Tuesday, but still found a way to catch up and watch the Barnsong on my own. Although I did watch it all by myself in the library...which wasn't fun.....the things I do for WISE class.
Anyways, Barnsong was a documentary put together by an alumni WISE student, who filmed the process of another students project. I thought it was a very interesting idea to follow two WISE projects at once. The aspect of working together in this example is very important, and would be an issue if these two students didn't get along well. I found it very impressive to do all the handy-work that Austin was doing in this video, I could never picture doing any of that. I would also find it very difficult to work with either of my parents that frequently...My parents do play a large role in my WISE project, but that is kept to a minimum. I also really enjoyed how both of their projects were very hands-on, I really plan on having my project include many hands-on activities, and learning methods.
