SLU AT Students Have a Great Day with the USA Women's Soccer National Team

Women's Soccer at Busch Stadium - United States vs New Zealand

By: Lauren Scalise and Andrea Strebler (MAT Class of 2016)

Having played club, high school and college soccer, the sport has been a huge part of our lives since we were young kids. We wanted to continue to feel a part of the competitive atmosphere; that is why we chose to pursue our careers in Athletic Training.

We had the rare and special opportunity on the stretcher crew with Athletico/PRORehab AT's Charlie Weir ATC and Brian Hudson ATC at the U.S. Women s Soccer National Team game at Busch Stadium. They played New Zealand’s Women’s National Team, and came out victorious! 

We were placed directly behind the score table and referees. It was truly surreal to be arm’s length from the players we have watched on TV for years. We had the stretcher in hand and were ready to act in a professional manner if called on by the teams medical personnel. 

It was an amazing learning experience and we are very thankful that we were selected by our program at SLU to participate in that type of atmosphere!

SLU AT Students Visit "Baseball Heaven"

On November 12, 2013, Saint Louis University Athletic Training Program students and faculty made a trip to Busch Stadium to tour the St. Louis Cardinals facilities.  Hosted by Cardinals athletic trainer Adam Olsen PT, ATC, they were able to learn much about sports medicine in Major League Baseball and what our interns experience with the Cardinals.  The group also got a behind the scenes tour of the AT facility, the clubhouse and the dugout/playing field.

Visiting Baseball Heaven!

On Monday, November 28, 2011, the students and faculty of the Saint Louis University Athletic Training Education Program visited Busch Stadium as a guest of Greg Hauck ATC, the Head Athletic Trainer for the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals.  In addition to getting access to the athletic training room, they toured the weight room, the clubhouse, the dugout and the field.  Mr. Hauck spent an hour with the students talking to them about his career, the life of a Major League Baseball athletic trainer and his work with the Cardinals, including the exciting World Series run in 2011.  It is great to have such fine colleagues in St. Louis with which to interact and learn!

Great Day at the Ballpark!

On Wednesday, April 22nd, students from our program received a "behind the scenes" tour of Busch Stadium.

The tour was hosted by St. Louis Cardinals Athletic Trainers Greg Hauck and Barry Weinberg. They gave us an extensive tour of the Cardinals Club House, Weight Room, Athletic Training Room and the Dugout.

They also gave our students important insight into life as a professional sports athletic trainer. As you can see in the pictures, it was a beautiful day, and we all had a great time!

The Cards beat the Mets that night 5-2.

Busch Stadium is also hosting the MLB All-Star Game this summer.
