Athletic Trainers That Deserve Credit

[TNBballMan]

Trainers never get enough credit for their work. They sure don't get paid enough for all the extensive time and hard work for their jobs. Who are some trainers that you would like to commend for their hard work? Also, where are they from?

Katie Edwards from Lewis Co is the best in the state and she is awesome at tennis.

Wow- what a great idea, I am a student trainer for the Franklin High School Football team and we didn't get much credit from the coaches, the players were pretty good at thanking us though. Christina Fidler from Star Therapy is the best! Great idea to put out recognition!

Brian Smith at Westview; and believe me, the Lady Chargers kept him plenty busy this year!

Regan Hall from Vanderbilt Sports Medicine does a good job at University School of Nashville.

There is no doubt that Meghan Fuqua's season would have been over on February 21st after completely tearing her ACL if not for the help of Brian Smith. Brian sacrificed his personal time and started Meghan's rehab on Sunday night so she would be ready for the region tournament. He "stayed with that knee" through the championship game and will continue as Meghan rehabs following her surgery April 1st.

 

Brian, thank you from the bottom of our very grateful hearts for being there to help Meghan realize her dream of playing at Murfreesboro! You were an answer to our prayers.

Jeff Mullins, the trainer at Bradley Central is the best around! He is good to all the athletes and the kids love him. What a wonderful Christian influence on all the kids!!! I just hope he stays at BCHS for at least three more years before moving on......

I think Denise Melvin from Macon Co. should get a trainer of the year award. Denise hasnt missed but a couple of days due to sicknesses in her family. She has been at every practice, scrimmage, and game. I had surgery this year, and she has been with me every step of the way. From therapy to dr appointments, shes been there. Shes not just doing her job, shes a friend who you can talk to, and a wonderful person. I dont know where the Macon county sports programs would be wihtout her!! THANKS DENISE!!

I agree... Denise is the greatest!!!

ROBIN, THE ATHLETIC TRAINER FROM MCMINN COUNTY, IS THE BEST IN MY OPINION. SHE IS PREGNANT BUT STILL GETS THE JOB DONE WITH SPEED. WAY TO GO ROBIN!!!

Chris Vaught (I hope I spelled it right) at Hampton High School. He is a very dedicated and tireless worker who never gets the credit he deserves.

I think Brent Ryan from Cookeville is one of the best in the state
