 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This source is definitely helpful for my research because now I understand what exercise science is compared to sports medicine and how all that relates to athletic training
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Information:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Robert C France is a certified and registered athletic trainer in Washington.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Summary:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The author points out that there are many different jobs or professions that are included when an athlete has an injury and that sports medicine and athletic training are the core components of being involved with athletes and athletic injuries.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The main arguments are about athletic training and how it incorporates a lot of different specialized trainers and doctors. There objective is to care for the injury of the athlete and to make sure that athlete has the right specialists working with them, to insure a save and quick recovery.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In Chapter one of the novel the author concludes, "athletes require specialized care that addresses a variety of different concerns. this can best be rendered by a variety of specialists whose primary goal is helping the athletes return safely and quickly to activity and competition."
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Evaluation:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The work is very logical and clear. The book is broken up into chapters and sections that make it really easy for me or anyone to fine what they need.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The topic is definitely adequately addressed and goes even further into it which helps a lot.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The author does not necessarily take a stance but he does state, " as athletic competition and participation mushroomed in the last few decades, the need for specialized care became apparent." With that it brings up a good point that a few doctors may actually be needed when it comes to athletic injuries because of the different injuries and treatments for those injuries that could occur.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Reflection:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I learned a lot about athletes and their injuries in this novel. I also realized the amount of care it takes when treating all athletic injuries, and how this isn't just one doctor to care for an athlete that all doctors and trainers are included in the treating process. This information on doctors and trainers really brought my focus to the amount of specialized care that is needed in order for an athlete to recover safely and return to competition.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is for anyone to read it is just to get people aware of athletic training and what athletic trainers do.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Summary:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The author is not taking an position on a topic. It is more spreading awareness about athletic training.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The author explains the requirements for an athletic trainer and what and athletic trainer does. It explains the body of work and what is involved. It mentions information about what other jobs people can get when they have all the requirements of an athletic trainer.
 * Evidence:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Requirements of an athletic trainer include a bachelor's degree which is usually the minimum requirement. It also talks about the working environments for an athletic trainer. "The industry and individual employer are significant in determining the work environment of athletic trainers.The job also might require standing for long periods, working with medical equipment or machinery, and being able to walk, run, kneel, stoop, or crawl. Travel may be required."
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Evaluation:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The work is local and clear and the topic was adequately addressed. There is no stance taken, the author is just talking about athletic training not taking a stance on it.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Reflection:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This source did support my evidence because just based on the requirements of one athletic trainer proves there should be more then one trainer at all sports events. The requirements really made think of how necessary it is to have athletic trainers and doctors or required specialists at sports events.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Evaluation:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The work is very logical and clear. It has more to do with orthopedic surgery but that's good because I hadn't realized how that involves sports medicine and athletic training. There is no stance taken but there is a lot of facts about developing important things that is bring awareness. It stated, " Sports Medicine, developed the preseason screening exam model and promoted the disciplines of athletic training and physical therapy in the care of athletes." Both very important and interesting.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Reflection:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think this source brings up a lot of different points that I never thought of which is really good. But it does talk a lot about orthopedic surgery more than athletic training so it may not be very helpful but has good facts that I can bring up.
