Rob Snow
You may have seen him in the physical therapy section of Berger Hospital, at sporting events, helping with different sports teams or maybe even taping a wrist or ankle after school.
 Rob Snow, the trainer at CHS, has been dealing with sports injuries for 17 years now. He was an athletic trainer for a school in New Jersey for two years before coming to Circleville. He has been at CHS for 15 years. Snow is usually around six days a week, including covering Saturday sporting events.
 Snow became interested in becoming a trainer one day when he was looking through college brochures. He saw an ad for training thought it looked and sounded interesting, so he decidied to looked into it. He discovered that to become a trainer, one is required to have at least four years of college with a bachelor degree. Then you are required to pass a national exam and a state test to become certified.
 He not only passed those two tests and has his bachelor’s degree from Mount Union College, but he also went to college for two additional years to get his masters degree from Ohio University.
 The job of a sports trainer is not an easy one, especially during the rough fall season. Football players are known for turning their ankles and other injuries that require special attention from Snow.
 “I see the most injuries in football because of the nature of the sport,”  Snow said.
 Even though he sees the most injuries in football than any other sport, Snow sees quite a few during basketball and soccer season as well.
  On a typical day during basketball season, Snow tapes eight to nine athletes. The rate for the number of tapes during football is much greater. Snow tapes as few as five or as many as 25 athletes a day in the fall season.
 Along with dealing with injuries, Snow works with different sports such as the football team, to help with strength, flexibility, and to help prevent injury.
 Luckily, Snow is happy with his career choice and his work here are CHS.
 “I like it very much,” Snow said. “Covering games is my favorite part because of the excitement and competitiveness.”
