March
Monday, March 31, 2025
- March is National Athletic Training Month, an opportunity to spread awareness of the impact athletic trainers (ATs) have on work, life, and sport. Athletic trainers are health care professionals that prevent, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate injuries for active people in many industries, including sports, military and clinical practice.
- Education is a huge part of becoming an athletic trainer. Academic curriculum and clinical training for athletic trainers follow the medical model. They must have a minimum of a four-year degree from a CAATE-accredited program and be certified by the Board of Certification (BOC) through an exam. More than 70 percent of athletic trainers have surpassed the minimum requirement and have earned a master’s degree. By 2020, all CAATE-accredited programs will be offered at the master’s level only. Every two years, athletic trainers are required to complete Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to maintain their athletic training certification with the BOC.
- Mrs. Ashley Bereksazi, Certified Athletic Trainer- I chose athletic training as a career because I loved sports and being on the sideline in all the action. I also knew I wanted to be in the medical field and change others' lives and help them be successful in their passion. Athletic Training gave me the ability to do both. Since I was a little kid, all I've ever known is Mainland High School. I fell in love with athletic training in the same classroom I now teach in. I love being an athletic trainer at Mainland because of the family that is built in this program and school every year. Coming to work isn't a chore when working at Mainland. It's coming home.
- Congratulations to the following boy’s weightlifters for making Regionals: Christian Robinson: Olympic Ray Tatro: Olympic / Traditional, Isaac Simien: Olympic / Traditional, Mason Durrance: Olympic / Traditional Gavin Oreilly: Traditional, Please wish these lifters good luck as they compete for a state qualifying spot this Wednesday at Deland high school.

Athletic trainers are health care professionals that prevent, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate injuries for active people in many industries, including sports, military and clinical practice.
- Taping and ice is a small part of what athletic trainers do. Athletic trainers also coordinate and execute injury prevention programs, prepare athletes for practices and games, communicate with physicians about injuries, treat and rehabilitate injured players, help determine return to play for injured athletes, monitor environment and weather conditions, develop and execute emergency action plans and are first responders on the scene.
- Lauren Abrahams, Senior- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because of my early passion for sports. I found enjoyment in observing the athletic trainers at the games, and it sparked my interest in sports medicine. To me, being an athletic training student aide is rewarding because I have been able to build relationships with Mrs. Ashley and the other athletes at Mainland. I love being able to see the progress of the athletes at school, while gaining experience to eventually pursue a career in sports medicine.
- Ja'Kiya Carter, Senior- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because I want to be able to help different athletes when they need it. It helped me realize that I want to keep helping others. Being an athletic training student aide means that I can be there to help athletes with their different sports.
- Shymira Huang, Senior- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because I've always had a passion for sports and fitness while also helping those in need. Being an athletic training student aide means a lot of things. You get to work closely with athletes, provide support during practices and games, and helping them recover from injuries. Plus, you're always learning, whether it's new techniques in sports medicine or how to handle different situations on the field.
- Amiyah Jackson, Senior- I joined the athletic training program at Mainland because I love both sports and helping others, so it felt like an amazing opportunity. It also allowed me to explore new options for future careers. Being an ATSA is like being part of another family for me. From getting to know different people like coaches, athletes, my ATSA peers, and Mrs. Ashley. I get the privilege of learning so many different lessons from people all around me and I love that.
- Shekinah Thomas, Senior- Being an athletic training student aide can be a transformative experience that provides valuable skills, knowledge, and connections for students pursuing a career in sports medicine. Athletic training is an outlet for me. It is a way to connect with fellow athletes and get to be a part of the progress and not just celebrate the wins. The memories, road trips, and overall experience is something you can't find in another program.
- Kiera Williams, Senior- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because I already spent all of my time in the training room as an athlete my sophomore year. The atmosphere, energy, and environment drew me in. Being an athletic training student aide is learning about people, especially athletes, in physical aspects. Being able to jump into action and think quickly on your feet in any situation.

- March is National Athletic Training Month, an opportunity to spread awareness of the impact athletic trainers (ATs) have on work, life, and sport. Athletic trainers are health care professionals that prevent, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate injuries for active people in many industries, including sports, military and clinical practice.
- The welfare of patients is their top priority. Athletic trainers work with patients to prevent injuries. If a patient is injured, they work with physicians to provide care and rehabilitate the patient back to life before the injury as fast and as safely as possible. Brain and spinal cord injuries and conditions such as heat illness can be life-threatening if not recognized and properly handled. Athletic trainers are there to immediately address emergencies.
- Lavender Barber, Junior- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because I like helping athletes feel better and trying to get them back to their sports as soon as possible. Being an athletic training student aide means that I can help athletes feel better.
- Rochelle Harris, Junior- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because helping people is always a good thing and this program helps people the most. Being an athletic training student aide means a lot to me in regard to helping people.
- La-Shanna Latorre, Junior- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because I wanted to see what it was like to be a part of the sports medicine field. Being an athletic training student aide means that I can be helpful to people, and I love being helpful.
- Jayla Long, Junior- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because of the sisterhood of the ATSAs. My sophomore year, I was extremely shy and working with the girls brought many days of joy and laughter which all helped me come out of my shell. To me, being an athletic training student aide means being committed to helping others. This role allows me to support athletes, learn valuable skills, and be part of a team that prioritizes care and performance.
- Aaliyah Pippen, Junior- I chose the athletic training program because as an athlete it gives you a broader aspect and more hands-on experience to see the behind the scenes of sports and sports medicine. Being an athletic training student aide means getting a better understanding of what sports go through, how to care for an athlete, and just being a support system for the athlete whether it's rehab or treating them.
- This a reminder for all students that are active members of the AKA Accent on Youth – Girls Mentoring Program, there is a meeting today (Thursday, 3/13) during lunch.

- March is National Athletic Training Month, an opportunity to spread awareness of the impact athletic trainers (ATs) have on work, life, and sport. Athletic trainers are health care professionals that prevent, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate injuries for active people in many industries, including sports, military and clinical practice.
- They are health care professionals. ATs work with individuals who are physically active or involved in sports participation through all stages of life. They prevent, treat, and rehabilitate musculoskeletal injuries as well as sports and work-related illnesses and medical conditions. They offer a continuum of care unparalleled in health care and practice under the direction of and in collaboration with physicians. Athletic trainers abide by HIPAA and FERPA laws and are recognized as allied health care professionals by the American Medical Association, Health Resources Services Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services.
- Nevaeh Franklin, Sophomore- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because I wanted to do something new and try to get involved more in school. This program was something I found interesting and it was a way I could get to know more people as well as help me to get out of my comfort zone. Being an athletic training student aide means a lot to me. I've learned so much while being in this program. It gave me a whole bunch of friendships and taught me how to be more time efficient and it ended up making me a better person. The best part of it all is that I get to help people out and learn more about all of the sports that the athletes are playing.
- Ar'Niya Reddin, Sophomore- I chose the athletic training program at Mainland because I want to get in the medical field, and I love to help out athletes. Being an athletic training student aide means being a reliable source to athletes and having fun at all the sports games.

Woodson.
