Journals
These journals reflect my weekly experiences as an athletic training student. Each journal reflects either an actual patient contact experience, or something I am working on in my athletic training courses.
My strengths and weakness have been fluctuating a lot since I began this program. I believe my biggest weakness is confidence in myself, which I have always struggled with. This has been one of my biggest challenges I have faced throughout being in the program. I always feel like I need another person to justify my answer. Even though I may 100% know the answer, I always feel like I need someone else to take a second look at something or to validate my answer. This has continued to be a goal for myself every semester because I want to believe in myself. I know that I am very educated on the material, and I need perform and practice more evaluations to get my confidence up. I believe this semester has been the first semester I have been able to perform an evaluation on an athlete and report back to my preceptor with my diagnosis. I am able to do everything on my own (so far) without reaching out to my preceptor when I am lost. I have been trying to prove to myself that if there may be something I am unsure of in an evaluation, but I can keep going and try different things to find what the problem contains. I believe my strengths this semester have slightly changed a little. I think my greatest strength is my problem solving skills and hard work/dedication. I really enjoy solving problems which is something that I think I am good at. I believe I can work well with others, so this makes this strength easier for me. I am able to take any type of problem and either find a solution, or show others a way a guide to the solution. I believe I am a people pleaser which helps me to use my strength of problem solving. I enjoy being faced with a challenge and finding whatever way I can to solve it. When I have encountered a challenge with something, I try really hard to complete that task. This brings in my other strength of being a hard worker. When I am faced with challenges, I work really hard to complete them. I put a lot of dedication into these tasks because I enjoy finding the results to something. I have been trying to improve my weakness by putting myself into situations where I need to only rely solely on myself. This will help me to believe in myself and also prove to me that I am capable of being confident in myself. I want others to see I am confident in myself, so they will trust me when performing an evaluation or helping them with an injury. I am also going to continue to solving problems by working hard and being dedicated to any certain situation.
