"I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”-Michael Jordan

Oh...you're a trainer?? (NO! I'm an Athletic Trainer, not a trainer) Oh, that's cool, I wanted to do that. What do you make?" "WHAT DO I MAKE?? I make an ankle sprain that some say should take four weeks to get your athlete back on the field, playable in a week. I can make wearing a fanny pack and driving in a golf cart with lights look cool. I can devise your rehab program after a total knee repl...acement so you can run in that marathon you've always dreamed of. I can tape an ankle before you miss 2 mins of play. I can make saving your child's life easier by explaining "getting your bell rung" isn't normal, it can be deadly. I can help you, and your child, survive a heart attack. I can look at a wrestler's pee and tell them how much water to drink. I can make an athlete bigger, faster, better. I can translate "doctorese" from "torn anterior talofibular ligament" into ankle sprain. I went to college to EARN A DEGREE in more than just "water providing" but also injury prevention, evaluation, rehabilitation, administration, and overall problem listening. And I do it because I love my athletes, and I love my profession. Today, I might ice your knee, tomorrow I might save your life. I hope I make a difference, what do you make?"
