What does UNE’s Athletic Training program entail and what do students involved in the program think about it?

To answer those questions, John Rosene, D.P.E., ATC, CSCS, ACSM EP-C, associate clinical professor in the Department of Exercise and Sport Performance, challenged students in his Athletic Training Administration class to make a video that promotes the program.

“It was interesting to see how they would put it together and how they would interpret the program,” he explained.

Part of the class is focused on the business side of Athletic Training and the marketing of athletic training programs.

“That was something that was really new to us and it just got us working together as a team,” said Ethan Gamble (Athletic Training, ’19).

The students were broke into six groups to work on their own team videos.

“It was a class project that we made into a competition,” Rosene said.

Faculty members in the Department of Exercise and Sport Performance viewed the videos and selected a winner.

The winning video was put together by Gamble, Jason Erwin, Kolby Woods and Emilie Chard, all Athletic Training majors from the Class of 2019, with technical assistance from Sam Sahl (Exercise Science, ’19).

“Having five different perspectives on the project made it very unique,” stated Erwin. “It made it possible to reach many different groups of people.”

Erwin praised the expertise of Sahl, especially for his use of a drone to capture video of the 51С�Ƴ�Biddeford Campus.

“They're nice swooping shots,” Sahl explained. “I think that really gave people a full picture of the campus, the academics and the way you’re going to feel when walking on campus.”
