The hidden family member!

-the management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries and illnesses.
-I chose this photo because it represents multiple feelings and emotions. The athletic trainer is putting his knowledge to work and trying to aide the injured athlete. He is on that field because that is his athlete who is lying their helpless and in agony. The athletic trainer devotes thousands of hours to their profession of preventing and helping athletes. They are essentially apart of the team. They walk the sidelines with the coaches, holler at you when you do a fantastic job, give you water whenyou are in need of it, and they fix your cuts and scrapes. They are just apart of the the team family. The athletic trainer hates to see any athlete in pain. You can see that the athletic trainer(AT) is focused and concentrating on getting that player ready to go back into the game.
-The athlete is going through scruntiny but completly trusts the AT. The athletic trainer has built such a strong relatinoship with the player that the player does not question the AT's abilities.
- This photo captures the essence of athletic training. It is fast pace job and requires the athletic trainer to be calm, cool, and collective. The pictures depicts that the athletic trainer has a huge responsibility. Yet, the athlete is expressing that he is suffering but he has given the AT full control. The picture is powerful due to the chemistry betweenthe AT and the athlete.
-I think the picture could become a commercial. Because athletic trainers are practtically never recognized for their accomplishments and contributions. It would emphasise the fact that the athlete has nothing to worry about he is in good hands?
ARE YOU?
