“First - and most importantly - this podcast is awesome. Listening to Molly, Alan, and Max feels like hanging out with friends.
Next, having just listened to the Going to the Mat episode, I want to let MAM know that some public high schools actually do have athletic trainers! I attended public high school - and a lower income demographic one at that - where we had an athletic trainer (she did have to teach a couple of classes, but not a full course load). We had an athletic training room with an ice machine, a cold whirlpool, & a warm whirlpool. There was only one athletic trainer, so clearly she couldn’t be at every home game/match/meet, but there were also about 7-10 student athletic trainers (🙋♀️) under her supervision. We didn’t get to do the things that could have serious medical consequences - like relocating shoulders - but we did assist with managing the flow of athletes in the training room, providing ice bags, getting water out to the practices and games, some basic first aid, and taping ankles/wrists/etc. So yes, it’s a real thing in some public high schools 🙂
Returning to the overall review
I look forward to listening to a new episode each week. Hopefully one day we’ll also get a few bonus, non-DCOM movies like Armageddon or Titanic.
Thank you Molly, Alan, & Max for the podcast!”
