Not many high schools can afford an athletic trainer. Takes thousands of dollars to afford one, depending on what they may specialize in Salaries in high school may vary from professionals. Some schools with athletic programs do not employ but benefit from clinical athletic trainers.

Being an athletic trainer requires strenuous work. Must go through a program called NATA, which excels them even more than what they know. High schools have a lot going on at once, its hard for an athletic trainer to be at one place Trainers are the first line of defense to prevent aggravations or major injuries.

These athletic trainers are highly needed and Must find a way to be put in schools. Sports are getting tougher and young teenagers at the high school level are not getting taken care of. Yes some high schools may not be able to afford them but we need to increase the lack of athletic trainers in these schools. First line of defense in saving a life and career.

Because I did my research on athletic trainers and the importance of excercising correctly, I decided to create a video that shows how to properly do lower body excercises.

For my product I decided to create a video on the lower body since that is the most common injury. This video shows how to properly and successfully do a lift and also prevent injury. Video was created in the weightroom using a smartphone and downloading it to windows media player.

I first started out with my mentor to interview a physician about how the lower body works Then I started to think of different excersises that I can possibly show in this clip. Once we finished the video we uploaded it to movie maker and edited out a few mistakes

I demonstrated 4 different lower body exercises Squats – stabilizes the core Step-ups – builds strength in legs Leg extensions – builds muscle § Leg curls – creates flexibility

For my mentor I chose Mr. Randy Pinkowski He is the new head football coach at Clayton high school. Also specializes in athletic training and weightlifting. Help me with creating my lower body video using his smart phone.

Creating this senior project took tremendous time. I was able to think a little on my own with a couple of viewpoints along the way. Finally I can say I accomplished something on my own by doing this project.

I’ve learned to not procrastinate and do things in a timely manner. Also I learned more about how the lower body works and performs Putting together the video was the hard part but I got through pretty well.

I thank you and appreciate your time Do you have any questions?
