One of Jennifer Cardas lifelong goals was to be part of the Olympics.
So when the Winter Games came to her home country of Canada, she couldnt
pass up the opportunity.
Carda, an athletic trainer at Bellevue East High School, spent eight days
last month at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver as a medical
volunteer.
This was my opportunity to just be a part of it, she said. I would have
taken the opportunity regardless of the role I was given. To be able to go
in some sort of medical capacity just the experience of being there was
phenomenal.
Dressed in a Chieftains sports medicine hoodie and running pants and
sitting on an examination table in her training room tucked in a corner
behind the gymnasium, the 33-year-old Carda doesnt look much different
from the student-athletes she works with daily.
I love working with our high school kids, she said.
As an athletic trainer at East the past eight years, Carda developed a
sports medicine program designed to teach students how to work with
patients on everything from small cuts and routine ankle tapings to
stabilizing serious injuries and conducting post-surgical rehabilitation
programs.
She used her volunteer trip to the Olympics as a teaching opportunity as
well.
During the Olympics, I had them watch a couple of different events they
could choose whatever it was and they had to write up an injury-prevention
plan for that event, Carda said. Where would you place your medical staff?
What injuries would you be concerned about? Would it be considered a
high-risk sport?
