AT Spotlight: Welcome to Go4, Beth Jones
Nickname: Beth
Alma Mater: Penn State
What's your current gig: Director of Go4Healthcare
Most Important Thing in Your Bag: PowerFlex and Elastikon are super versatile, but you also won't catch me without a snack or 2 and single serve Gatorade stick.
What is the Weirdest / Wildest / Most Interesting / Out there AT job you've ever worked: Covering a youth hockey game a few years ago a kid lost his balance and fell backwards onto his hand. He ended up dislocating and fracturing, but he was super tough and didn't even cry. Dad came over, took 1 look and passed out. Kid needed surgery and Dad needed stitches for a head lac.
Share your best Moment / Story / Anecdote as an AT: Proud to say I'm 4 for 4 in covering conference championships with my teams (2 MIAA lax, 1 MIAA baseball, 1 Patriot League women's lax). Not saying I'm the lucky charm, but I'm also not-not saying that...
Quote/Lyric/Line that sums up Athletic Training For You:
"It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen." - John Wooden
What does your day to day look like?
Wake up, make coffee, hang out with my daughter until its time to jump on calls or get started for the day.
What has been the biggest change in the year of the pandemic?
The pandemic has really been a roller coaster for ATs. We've seen the best in some people and situations, but also have seen a lot of the worst. It's made me reconsider what's really important and also the power of the word "no." I've stood up and advocated for myself more professionally in the past year and a half than I have in my career.
When you're not on a sideline, where can we find you?
The Bad Monkey, 60th street, OCMD.
