Head Trainer to Work Olympics
by Emily C. Bonk
Mary Broos, head athletic
trainer for Guilford College, has
been selected to train athletes for
the 1984 Summer Olympic Games
in Los Angeles.
Broos will leave July 18, joining
about 400 other trainers for the
two week showcase event of the
world's best athletes, and return
August 8. The games start July
28.
Broos has been assigned the
position of Olympic Health Ser
vices on-site trainer for swimm
ing. She will be assigned another
sport after August 2. The only
sport she would not agree to work
is boxing, something she strongly
dislikes.
Until the opening of the Olym
pics, Broos will be working at the
athletes' practices getting to
know them.
Broos is excited about the trip.
She said in preparation, she will
be reviewing and rereading all
her sports medicine books and
anything else she'd ever learned.
Trainers can be called to work
at any time during the schedule
from 5:30 a.m. to midnight. Broos
will receive only two days off dur
ing her time there. Although she
said her spare time will probably
be spent sleeping, she would like
to see gymnastics and basketball.
Like all other trainers, Broos
will not be paid for her services-it
is all voluntary. However, she

does not seem to be interested in
compensation. To be asked is
"quite an honor," she said,
"besides it being an incredible
experience."
Through the efforts of Presi
dent Rogers, housing, an ex
tremely difficult commodity to
come by during the event, was
acquired for Broos at Whittier
College, another Quaker institu
tion near L.A. It is about 30
minutes from the swimming site

where she will be working.
Although she will be living in a
dorm with other athletes from
Whittier, all Olympic com
petitors will stay in the Olympic
Village for security reasons.
While on-site, she will eat the
provided food along with the
athletes and other personnel, but
must provide her own meals the
remainder of the time. Broos will
be issued an official uniform for
trainers of the games, to be worn
