Senior excels as athletic trainer

Kiki Owens

Q: Why did you first decide to become an athletic trainer?
A: When I was younger, my brother got hurt, and I came up to the training room and saw everything happen. I'm not athletic, so I decided I just wanted to help out and take care of the athletes.
Q: Who motivates and inspires you the most?
A: Probably my parents. They're both really supportive, and they're just like the greatest parents in the world. There's no way I could have done it without them.
Q: What are your duties during the games?
A: For football, one of the main things is handing out water and Gatorade during practice. We're in charge of taking care of their injuries. We tape up their ankles and rehab them back when they get hurt.
