Kaylee Scheirer, a junior exercise science major, was offered a position with the football team as a hydration specialist in the fall of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scheirer, who is also pursuing a master\u2019s degree in athletic training (AT) here at LVC, was later offered a position with the school\u2019s lacrosse team as well. However, the current COVID-19 pandemic cut that short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe job I was given allows me to observe athletic trainers\u2019 work firsthand,\u201d Scheirer said. \u201cI can discuss and ask questions to the athletic trainers and the AT students while they\u2019re working, which really helps me understand why and how they\u2019re doing something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scheirer loves her job, and although she\u2019s getting experience in her desired career field, there\u2019s still a cost that comes with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBalancing schoolwork is one of the biggest challenges I face,\u201d she said. \u201cThe athletic trainers, specifically Megan Streisel, are amazing and always check in to see how we are doing and make sure we aren\u2019t overworking ourselves. They appreciate our help and are always looking out for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheirer said that the challenges pay off in the end when the athletic training students get to use their studies in real life and on the field, and although the position is paid, Scheirer does not view her job as work. She loves attending both the practices and the games, which can make for some unforgettable memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy favorite memory is the LVC against Misericordia football game this past fall [2019 season] when the boys went into 4OT,\u201d Scherier said. \u201cEvery practice I work, I see the talent and ability of our football team. They may have lost that game, but there was nothing to be ashamed of.\u00a0\u00a0They played with all their heart and soul, and they did not go down without a fight.\u00a0\u00a0The energy on the field that day was a true display of Dutchmen pride.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passion Scheirer shows for her job is a true reflection of not only her character but what a true Dutchman is, hardworking and passionate. The experiences she made will forever be a part of her and her memory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
