Gladiators v Soul

The end of this week was exciting for me. Thursday and friday, I got more involved with the players, doing STEM work with them, as well as Ultrasound Therapy work. Both of these are techniques to loosen up muscles and help heal injuries. I was also allowed to tape 2 people's ankles during a lighter practice (just in case they were bad, but luckily they weren't!).

Saturday night was another home game for the Gladiators, as they took on the Philadelphia Soul. I got to downtown CLE at about 3:30, and because of an Indians game that started at 4, I couldn't find a parking spot until about 4:20!! I kid you not... it took me over an hour to park! The game was awesome. Minus a few bumps and bruises, the players weren't in need of that much, so I wasn't doing a whole lot, just mainly dealing with water and towels, and some small stuff before the game, like I did the last Home Game. This game was a lot more violent though...in the 4th quarter alone, at least 4 people got ejected from the game! It was a really fun night.

Since one of Dean's college interns moved to Texas on Sunday, I will be able to step up and contribute a lot more the next week. I look forward to seeing what is going to be thrown at me!
