Kyle Schimmoeller - Class of 1999

                                    Son of Steve and Marietta - class of 1970 and 1972

It seems like just yesterday that I was sitting in the St. John’s gymnasium in the spring of 1999 preparing to graduate and head off to college.  Nine years later I sit here in my townhouse in Baltimore, Maryland reflecting on what I have done over the course of that time.  I am currently employed as an assistant certified athletic trainer for the Baltimore Ravens organization. 

Certified athletic trainers are health care professionals who specialize in preventing, recognizing, managing and rehabilitating injuries that result from physical activity.  As part of a complete health care team, the certified athletic trainer works under the direction of a licensed physician and in cooperation with other health care professionals, athletics administrators, coaches and parents.  In order to become a certified athletic trainer, one must earn a degree from an accredited athletic training curriculum. 

Immediately following graduation I went to Ohio State University ready to embark on new adventures and start pursuing my studies in the field of athletic training.  Throughout the course of my four years at OSU, I was able to gain valuable field experience by working with numerous OSU varsity athletic teams such as football, lacrosse, volleyball, track and field, and swimming and diving.  The education and work experience I acquired at OSU laid the foundation for the next couple of years as I strived to reach my goal of working as a certified athletic trainer in the National Football League.
