This class for me this semester was one of the ones that I
enjoyed the most. It was really nice to talk about events within the sports
worlds and how ethical issues can arise within the day to day loves of people that
work in sports. As an Athletic Trainer I have always been aware of how
important it is to make ethical decisions and as I climb the ladder and work in
different levels of sports I really see how different issues can arise at each
level. I never really looked deeply into my Code of Ethics and this class
really made me analyze it and improve my knowledge on it. Also interviewing
Daniel Fischer helped me get a different perspective on Code of Ethics and how
he deals with certain dilemmas. I really have not had any ethical issues that I
have had to take care of myself but highlighting different issues in Athletic
Training really made me aware of different things that could possible happen
when it comes to caring for my athletes. I really found the blogs about
concussions really reinforce my thinking on how important it is to care for
those athletes that do have concussions as coaches may have a tendency to
overstep their boundaries and try to push an athlete back into play way sooner
than they should be. I found that this discussion was very helpful and will
help me to make more ethical decisions if that ever should arise when I am
working in my career. This class really helped me to reinforce my own personal
code of ethics and the NATA’s code of ethics and it made a huge impact on how I
will handle things in the future.
