Male, 18, wrestling. Shoulder injury.
Q: How has having an athletic trainer impacted you though your injury? What would you have done if you hadn’t had an athletic trainer to help you?
A: I probably would have gone a very long time without my torn shoulder being diagnosed. My injury recovery would have been set back even further, and then I wouldn't have had any professionals to help me rehabilitate my torn shoulder
Q: Any other comments?
A: Hmm, and I would have lost quite a lot more blood over 4 years of wrestling without anyone there to help stop all my bloody noses.

Male, 17, football and wrestling. Shoulder injuries
Q: How has having an athletic trainer impacted you through your injury?
A: It helped me a lot. Going to the ATR and heating it up and icing it. Having Jess and Cesar help me out when I’m in pain.
Q: What would you have done if you hadn’t had an athletic trainer to help you?
A: I would probably still have the pain that I had before. It would have probably been worse than it is. I probably wouldn’t be able to wrestle now or do any sports.
Q: Any other comments?
A: I love Jess.
