Sonia Gysland has broken the ranks of professional football; Dawn Stuckey is a head Athletic Trainer at Rice University; Christina Cope is an Athletic Trainer at Klein High School. All three have teamed up to discuss some of the struggles for female Athletic Trainers.
Thanks for the special contributions from @FemaleATProbs
Top 10 reasons it is so tough being a female athletic trainer:
10. Apparently Spice Girls music is not appropriate pre game music
9. Wearing make up means we’re trying to impress someone
8. Not wearing make up means we’re either sick or very tired (even when we’re neither.)
7. Football/wrestling coaches think we know nothing about football/wrestling
6. Being asked to homecoming, prom, or any other school function is not what we had in mind when we go on dates…

Registered Dietitians Brett Singer (Memorial Hermann Ironman Sports Medicine) and Rita Zapien (H-E-B Grocery Stores) team up to bring practical meal advice for athletes. Two of my favorite tips are:
1. Take students / athletes on a field trip to the store and show them what to buy.
2. Speak with a RD and set up a store tour.
These two tips can really bring home the value and are super practical.
