STATESBORO - This month we are asking each member of our Georgia Southern athletic training staff to participate in a Q &A session for Athletic Training Appreciation Month. We will learn more about athletic training and more about the experiences of our athletic trainers and all the work they do for us behind the scenes!

Our next highlight is on assistant athletic trainer Brian Mizeski. Brian works with men's soccer and men's tennis.

What is something about athletic training people often don't know?
"Athletic Training isn't Just taping ankles or holding water, there is a greater capacity of work that spans every domain from prevention, evaluation and emergency care, rehabilitation, as well as all documentation and administrative responsibilities. Athletic Trainers have the ability to serve a wide population of patients and age demographics."

What is your favorite part about being an athletic trainer?
"The relationships you can create and form with athletes as you help them overcome injury or just be a resource in daily life."

What is your favorite thing about working with your sport(s)?
"The variability of day to day."
