Erin Roberge is the Packers' first full-time female athletic trainer
"That’s kind of what you see on magazine covers and things like that, the typical athletic trainer, but you do treatments every day for people that have short-term injuries, long-term injuries like ACLs, surgeries they are coming back from, month-long rehabs or just things to get guys comfortable to practice that day," Roberge said.
Although she grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota, Roberge was always a Packers fan, but horses were her first love, and her initial studies at the University of Wisconsin were in animal science. She was looking for hourly work when she saw a posting for a medical records job that seemed to have a close enough connection to the science she was studying and would provide experience in a related field.
The athletic training program at Wisconsin is two years, after completing basic courses. Students learn to evaluate injuries, but also are instructed in the management side of the profession because some business is involved, including budgeting and running a training room. Students also do clinical rotations, working with different athletic teams at the university.
"I learn something new almost every single day. I'm lucky to work with staff that’s great about sharing information and having a collaborative approach," she said.
