Testimonials and Where Our Students Transfer
"I really enjoyed being a part of the Foothill College Sports Medicine Program. I got great hands on experience with a variety of sports including football, soccer, and basketball. I learned about different taping techniques for injury prevention and orthopedic evaluations that prepared me well for my entry-level graduate athletic training program. This program is a great introduction for those that want to pursue a career in sports medicine or other healthcare field. I made great friends and really felt part of a family while at Foothill. I'd do it again in a heart beat. I really encourage anyone who is interested in a healthcare career to check it out." ~ Ann Sbardellati
"Being in the program at Foothill helped me gain a number of important skills to being
successful and going onto the athletic training program at San Diego State. Leaving
Foothill I felt knowledgeable, confident, and most importantly prepared to be working
at the division 1 level. Foothill has allowed me to work hands on for practices, games,
prevention, and rehabilitation ensuring I have the proper skill set to advance. I
learned how to use various modalities and different therapeutic exercises that have
helped me be able to run rehabilitation for injured and post-operative athletes. I
am so thankful that Foothill gave me the foundation and skill set I need to be successful
at the next level of athletic training." ~Luiza Arutjunian, ATC
"Experiences I had while in the sports medicine program helped me gain skills and
knowledge to prepare for the next stage and later for a career in athletic training.
The program combines classroom and clinical experience and we, as sports medicine
students were in high demand for exciting clinical internships. The hands-on experience
definitely prepared me for an accredited athletic training program at a 4-year college.
All the faculties in the department treated me with the same respect that they would
expect for themselves and I developed close relationship with them as mentors. Experiences
I had through the program fueled my growing passion for athletic training and it will
put you on the path of the wide range of career options." ~Haruka Sakauchi, ATC

I left here with the confidence of knowing that I wouldn't have to question my skill set because I know both Warren and Michelle taught me what it means to be a yound professional . It is because of what Warren, Michelle and the Foothill College Atheltic Training Program have taught me, I have the confidence and attitude that has made me the Athletic Trainer I am today. I hope to carry these atributes that I have learned at Foothill College into mhy carreer as well."
