Serving on the Sidelines
Whether on the gridiron or on the pitch, it was a summer of football for the Master of Athletic Training (MAT) students at Cedarville University. Six aspiring athletic trainers were in the facilities of NCAA Division I schools or on the sidelines with major league teams.
Two of these future trainers, Lauren Barnes and Jacob Bonville, share their summer stories on the latest Cedarville Stories Podcast. Lauren had the thrill of working with the nationally ranked Penn State football team, while Jacob gained experience with Major League Soccer’s Columbus Crew.
From the moment the spotlight turned to their learning experiences this summer, Lauren and Jacob lit up, recounting some of their favorite experiences and how they kept Jesus at the forefront of their work.
While the summer was intense, the experiences helped both students refine their skills while demonstrating their faith in Jesus through words and deeds. Whether it was taping an ankle, loading an 18-wheel truck for a road game, providing a cup of cold water to a coach, or just listening to the players share their stories and struggles, both Lauren and Jacob were focused on serving everyone well.
Tune in to discover more about their demanding schedules, their relentless pursuit of excellence, and their deep commitment to serving others in the spirit of Jesus.
