Woodland Regional High School (WRHS) is a very competitive school when it comes to sports. Taking care of their players is always the top priority. Having a physical trainer is a good way to ensure players safety and wellbeing.

WRHS has had two trainers so far and now there is a new one who just happens to be close to another staff worker here. WRHS is happy to welcome John Jumiet as their sports trainer and will constantly try to make him feel at home.

“I’m looking forward to it. I’ve wanted to do athletic training since I was in high school and to wind up here at a school such as Woodland it’s a really nice privilege,” said Jumiet.

He hasn’t been here long but is already so welcomed and loved by his patients and is adjusting very well to this new environment.

Jumiet isn’t alone here at Woodland, he actually has some family that goes here. Chris Misuraca, art teacher, is his brother in law and he has a niece that does theater. Being in such a welcoming habitat brings more room for greater work and allows “patients” to get their proper care.

Trainers have to use many different tactics when it comes to approaching a problem and finding a solution.

“A great evaluation starts with a great history. So getting a good history as to what’s going on with this first nature of the injury,” said Jumiet.

Wrist wrapping is a common technique when it comes to sports like cheer with the new season.

Savannah Ames is a back spot for the WRHS cheer team and goes to get her wrists wrapped.

“He wrapped my wrist before my last game and it felt extremely supported the way he wrapped it. It didn’t hurt through stunting or anything,” said Ames.

Jumiet will continue to use different techniques to make sure that his patients get the best care necessary. Trainers allow for student athletes to stay healthy and safe in their environment; Jumiet will definitely contribute a lot to Woodland.
