The coaches went on ahead on another flight. I was with the team trying to get out but the airport was fogged in," he said. "I had to call the hotel in Washington, leave a message for the coaches and then try to find us a flight out. Hotel accommodations had to be changed. We didn't arrive until the afternoon we were supposed to play but we made it on time. There is a fine for teams that arrive late and it's the trainers job to get the team to the game on time.

If he sends him back in and an opponent zips by the player for a winning basket because the guy's injury was worse than expected and he can't move quickly on it, everyone looks to the trainer, not the coach. Then you miss out on the playoffs by one game. It's not an easy job. Trainers are unsung heroes. A lot of times, people don't realize how important they are. Then all of a sudden, there's an injury and you're impor tant." The field of athletic training is becoming more popular, and more women especially are going into sports training, he said.
