My major is Exercise Science- Athletic training portion. This was a difficult thing to connect the two together. We’re taught by the book, so the one way were taught is the way we should do it. But obviously every person has there way of doing something their way. “… Critical Thinking means simply good problem solving.” (Pg 59) So I guess the way critical thinking would be involved is, if an injury happened and we didn’t have the proper utensils to help an athlete. We would have to go outside the box and find a way to put things together to stabilize a site of injury. “What are my assumptions in this situation” (Pg. 59) this is an important step because your gut feeling is usually the one you should go with. You have to trust your instincts because if you second judge yourself in front of someone it could make them have an uneasy feeling about the situation. So I Say an athlete breaks and arm or a leg and we didn’t have an air cast to stabilize. I would find anything that I have with me to stabilize it such as a firm piece of foam or anything that I have on me that will keep the leg or arm straight to relive pressure off the site of the injury. Keeping the injured person calm would be a key component. Another aspect that could arise if I were to come upon an injured person would you stop and help? The only reason that this would stop me from doing anything is I could mess up or do something wrong. Which already puts a feeling of second guessing my self from the start. I would also have to worry about a person coming back and trying to sue me for practicing out of my field, not having enough experience in the things that I would be helping them in. So Critical thinking could be used in any aspect of life.
