August 2005 Athletic Training Student of the Month

 

 

Mike McElhinney

 

3rd Year Athletic Training Student

Hometown: Morning Sun, IA

High School: Winfield- Mt. Union

Associates Degree: Kirkwood CC

 

 

Why did you choose the Athletic Training Education Program at UNI?

I chose UNI because it was accredited while the other program I was considering was not. Also, because I contacted Dr. Williams and he informed on all the goings on in the program. Oh yeah, and the Human Performance Center was supposed to be complete.

What field experiences have you enjoyed the most and found the most rewarding?

UNI baseball, UNI football, Cedar Falls High, and Cedar Valley Medical Specialists Physical Therapy.

Any advice or tips for incoming students or other interested persons?

Ask a lot of questions, practice what you have been taught whenever you can, if tapign isn't you high point, not too worry, I didn't learn how to do a continuous heel lock until the end of my second year in the program (thanks Erin and Diane).

What are future plans after UNI?

Attend graduate school not for sure where (looking at a lot of places), work in a clinic out reach to a HS for initial experience, then move up to a college, who knows maybe even a professional team.
