Fact: 27% of those who worked in football organizations were women.
If you went into the top quarter of payments, the number dropped to
14%.
Fact: there were more than 58,000 licensed athletic trainers around the
world.
Another fact: my parents acted like they weren’t disappointed I would
never be an athlete after a drunk driver hit me as a kid, ruining any chance
of playing any sport. That happened when your leg and arm shattered.
I had other talents, but my parents didn’t care about those as much. I
mean, heck, I could write with both hands, cosplay as Wednesday Addams,
and win any board game, but could I ever make a sports team in my life?
No. And as my parents were professional coaches, this was the greatest
fault I had.
Did I also use facts to ease my brain when I was nervous? Yes. Did you
know the body had a billion nerve cells?
“Emerson,” a rough voice barked out, pulling me from my inner
turmoil.
“Yes, sir.” I stood straighter, gripping my fingers behind my lower back,
cracking each knuckle three times to rid myself of this energy.
Fact: the only benefit of cracking knuckles was to release emotional
stress.
I smoothed out my dark navy polo shirt, ensuring it was tucked into my
khaki shorts. My internship coordinator, Henry Reiss, was a walking
juxtaposition. He was tall and had an angry, deep voice and hard lines
around his eyes. He was also patient, kind, and phenomenal at teaching. He
was the football team’s head athletic trainer.
His gruff exterior had startled me at first, and even now, a few weeks
into my senior year internship, his tone frightened me.
“I want you and Abe to work the restoration room today after practice.
Tend to those on the list and any walk-ins. If they skip, let me know.” Henry
tapped his clipboard on his desk and jutted his chin at the door. “Clean and
check stock before you head out. My assistant is doing a run tomorrow
before the big game this weekend.”
“We’re on it, sir.” Abe Smith motioned for me to go first through the
door. Most mornings, all the interns met in Henry’s office where he
assigned us tasks for the day. In the three weeks since Abe and I started fulltime, we’d done cleanup in the rooms, training room, restoration, and field
duty. My favorite moments were being on the field, inhaling the scent of
fresh-cut grass, and hearing all the sounds of football.
My strongest senses were smell and sound. I wasn’t sure I could survive
without them. Podcasts, audiobooks, and candles gave me life most days.
But seeing how my parents were “live or breathe sports” types, there was a
nostalgic feeling being on the field.
There were some not so great memories there too, but I shoved those
away.
“I don’t know how you keep it so cool, Ivy. Being around these guys is
wild to me. They are borderline famous, and some of them are going to end
up in the NFL. I get to say that I tapped Dean Romano’s foot or Callum
O’Toole took an ice bath I made.”
