MVHS Athletic Training Internship
Faculty Sponsor(s)
Emily Kosderka
Subject Area
Health, Human Performance and Athletics
Description
This internship opportunity allowed me to observe and participate in the day to day operations of a high school athletic trainer. This included teamwork and communication between our principal, athletic director, coaches, and student athletes, as well as being given the opportunity to refine my hard skills such as taping techniques and special tests evaluations. I was also given some freedom to take risks when assessing athletic injuries and using rehab modalities to get athletes ready to return to their sport. I enjoyed connecting with the students and applying what I have learned at Linfield in a clinical setting that both tests my knowledge and gives me the opportunity to grow. I am fortunate and appreciative of the opportunity I was given and plan to return to the same role after graduation.
