WATA Student Affairs Committee Representative: Evan Mulder

Name: Evan Mulder
Class: Senior
Position on Board: WATA Student Affairs Committee Representative
Favorite Part of Athletic Training: The challenge of understanding and providing for the differing needs of each patient daily. Every athlete is unique in some way, and it is an athletic trainer’s job to figure out how we can best help the patient both physically and psychologically. Also, helping athletes to perform their best when it matters most is most rewarding especially because I enjoy the competitive setting.
Favorite Clinical: Wrestling & Men’s/Women’s Track and Field
Wrestling was a sport that I have not had much experience with as an athletic training student or as a spectator. It was interesting to learn about the sport which involves a wide variety of injuries at each joint of the body. I grew to like the sport and look forward to possibly being a part of it in the future.
Track was most rewarding because I worked as the head ATS on a team that won the conference championship. I was also able to travel with some of the girls that qualified for nationals in Claremont, CA. The athletes were always very enjoyable to work with, and I was able to work on a wide variety of skills as a healthcare professional.
Plans After Graduation: Pursue an NFL seasonal internship or continue my education at a division 1 university where I can work as a graduate assistant athletic trainer preferably with a football team.
