Athletic trainers: LU's unsung heros by Tim Sears The purpose of the student training program is to prevent and heal athletic injuries, but at Liberty it is more than a job.. The trainers are family. "We grow with each other. We cry with each other, and we learn from each other," student trainer Lorraine Reibson said. One of those special bonds that stemmed from working with each other in the training room is between Stacy Ensminger and Lorraine Reibson. Ensminger said, "We'll always keep in touch. There is something special between us. It is helpful to have someone to talk to about sports medicine. It brought us closer." Establishing friendships is one of the benefits Ensminger finds in working in the training program. She said," I enjoy getting to know people and ath letes. I enjoy helping. It is easy building friendships on the training staff. Plus, you get to know the coaches." If the LU training room is like a family, the mother figure is head trainer Connie Pumpelly. Pumpelly said," There is not a student- teacher relation ship. It is a closely knit group...I'll stand up to anybody for my trainers if I know they are right. I'll stand up for them to a coach, athlete or teacher be cause all of the students are like family." Pumpelly may serve as protector to the student workers, but she does not let them forget their purpose. She said, "The purpose is to prevent injury and to rehabilitate those who are injured." The student trainers help to achieve that goal. Pumpelly said, "Without them we could not do it." Working in the training room is not easy, nor so glorious as participating in a sport. "Many times you see the player make the winning catch or a basket, but what you don't see is the hour that player spent in the training room before and after the game and even during half time," explained Pumpelly. The trainers are not paid, and the hours add up. According to Stacy Ensminger, 1800 hours are required if you plan to go after me NATA (Na tional Athletic Trainers Association). "The NATA is kind of like lawyer's bar exam," she said. "The program is already speaking for itself." said Pumpelly. The dedica tion is paying off. Already, seven of the previous student trainers are now certified athletic trainers, and three have been in graduate programs. Pumpelly said, "Our program educates and trains. We have instilled the attitudes of being servants, helpfuness, consistency, diligence, and to be caring," she added. Although the work can be grinding at times,th e students know they are getting quality hands-on experience. Reibson said, "The practical experience is something you can not learn in books". Ensminger said, "Working with Connie you learn on your own, but with Connie's help. Connie will let you diagnose an injury and suggest the treat ment, but then she'll tell you what she thinks the injury is and how to treat it." The learning experience is one reward training provides, but working with athletes also provides a benefit many sports fans crave. With all the time spent in the training room, the trainers can get to know the athletes personally. Ensminger said, "I don't want to be just a trainer. I liked to be a friend. You're there to do a job, but you are there for them." Developing friendships in the training room has a special meaning to Ensminger. She met her boyfriend, a middle distance runner on the track team, via the training room connection. Reibson said, "You are rightther e with the action. I like seeing people get better. I enjoy traveling with the teams and meeting players." Being a LU trainer has both its rewards and problems, but the rewards Trainer Lori Decker works with football's Ernie Antolik. photo by Angel Tramontane outweigh the problems. Asked if her training room experience has been helpful, Ensminger replied, "Yeah. It was worth it all." Trainer Lor!
