The
Athletic Training Staff uses a variety of resources to effectively serve the
Athletics Department at Mansfield. Within Decker Gymnasium, the location of
all Coaches and Athletic Administration, the Athletic Trainers have their own
training room.
This training room is home to two large whirlpools that
can accommodate both hot and cold types of treatment. A giant ice machine
produces more ice than will ever be used in a day, and "to go" bags are
available for athletes who cannot stay in the training room for the duration
of their icing procedures.
There are seven benches in the training room, three of
which are located directly next to the three state of the art ultrasound
machines .
The training room has a multitude of stretch bands used
in range of motion exercises, along with multiple stability and balance
stations.
The training room also houses a stepping machine and a
stationary bike.
Along with the training room in Decker Gymnasium, the
Athletic Training staff uses the newly renovated weight room facility. The
weight room has been expanded by 700 square
feet and
brand new flooring has been laid. New machines and a completely new dumbbell
rack have also been added.
When the athletic trainers are not in the training room or the
weight room, you can be sure to find them either in the field house training room,
located at Van Norman Field, or at any of their on-site training facilities. The training room at the field house offers all
the therapy and treatment options as the training room in Decker, but is more
conveniently located for home competitions and for practices.
There are in-game training facilities at the softball
field, baseball field, football field, track, field hockey field, soccer
field, and basketball gymnasium.
