She told me that she is an air force brat but considers herself to be from Las Cruces, NM, since that is where she went to high school. When I asked her how much water the athletes drink she told me that most of a 5 gallon cooler is gone by the end of practice. Typically, the athletes are given about 3 breaks every day, although it depends on how long practice is. Angela told me that 2 of the majors nerves in the arm are the axillary nerve, which innervates the deltoid muscle and the musculocutaneous nerve which innervates the major flexors of elbow (the Biceps for example). When I asked her how much studying she does for athletic training courses in a typical week she said a lot!. She then said about hours per week, more if there is a test.
