In the major of Athletic Training there are multiple controversies. These controversies all deal with different issues, but today I would like to talk about the controversy of frustration and stress while students are completing the professional athletic training education program (ATEP).
The first side of the controversy is the side of the students going through the program. Due to the work-balance problems and low compensation, it causes them to have frequent stress in their daily lives. Also the ATEP program is a very difficult program it causes anxiety and feeling of being pressured to the point of overwhelming. Sometimes classes put too much on the person to handle especially if it has to be learned in a short period of time. The other side of the controversy is that the factors that causes stress and frustration while completing an undergraduate degree is still not fully understood. There could be other things in the persons life that could start their frustration, within in time it could effect the students involvement with the things they are joined in. Due to that realization the athletic training faculty and staff are trying to understand the students frustrations and to provide a supportive learning environment.
