Special Assignment Have you ever been told to go see Trainer Hudson, after turning an an- kle in gym, and wondered what he does in that tucked-away room? At first glance, it looks as though Trainer Hudson and his team of student train- ers don't do anything at all. The ste- reo, the laughter, and the smiles on the supposedly injured athletes' faces hide the work that is done in the training room. In reality, being a student trainer is hard work. Each trainer must main- tain a 2.5 grade point average. This is higher than the 2.0 GPA required of the athletes because the trainers often miss classes for an athletic event. Trainers need to be good students and have good grades so that the time spent away from class doesn't serious- ly affect them. Trainers also have to work long hours in the training room. Mr. Hudson ro- tates them through a schedule so each trainer stays after school once or twice a week. They are required to attend practices on weekends and holidays, also. Each trainer is assigned one sport, except in the fall when each trains for both football and another sport. He or she must travel with the team to away games and provide cov- erage at home, often working until late at night. Most of the real work starts before anyone gets suited up to practice. From three to three-thirty on any typical day, the training room is bus- tling with activity. The room is filled with athletes being taped, icing in the tub, riding the bike, using the stimu- lator or ultrasound machines, or wait- ing to do these things. The trainers tape ankles, knees, fingers, and other body parts as fast as they can, so ath- letes can get to practice on time. Trainer Hudson supervises his train- ers and is on hand to give advice about injuries and what to do about them. To become a trainer, you must fill out an application and have a casual in- terview with Hudson before he will hire you. One of the questions on the application asks why you are interest- ... . , .... ..,,.,,..m.. -.-- .-..-... . .-...--. : ....,.s..,.,.........a ..-.- -.,.,.ma-..d,.,.,.,,.,,,,,N,,,.,.,,.,..,.,,....s,:,:,,-, WSP ,E wig?

For instance, Laurel Hanck would like to become a surgeon, and Deahn Amend is looking toward sports medi- cine and her dream is to train for the U.S. olympic team. However, you don't need to plan a future in medi- cine to be hired. All that is needed is the willingness to do a good job, and a commitment to spend the time that is required of the trainers. Even though it is hard work with little recognition, the trainers are interested in, and en- joy what they do. -ful ...H MW. ...M .,. M 5 . , Deahn Amend' Whose gorgeous body are You looking an!
