Ms. Brousseau’s planner is completely covered in assignments, dates, students’ names, events, games, and meeting times.

Brousseau, the Associate Athletic Director, is always busy. During the winter, she works until 9:30 p.m. seeing athletes, doing paperwork, and grading for her Anatomy and Physiology class.

Brousseau came to Williston in 1997; her first job was an assistant athletic trainer, PE teacher, and health teacher. She currently lives with her husband and two Dalmatians on campus.

Although Ms. Brousseau said there is no real normal schedule at Williston, she took me through a typical day, which, of course, is anything but.

After breakfast, Brousseau heads down to the athletic center, where her office is. She usually has meetings during the day and she teaches Anatomy and Physiology second and third trimesters.

After lunch she goes to her house to take her dogs, Erving and Ripley, on a walk.

Her day especially picks up in the afternoon; when classes let out, she readies herself and the athletic training room to see around 70 athletes between 2:30 and 6:30 in the fall, 50 in the winter, and 40 in the spring.

When you go home after your game, it’s likely Brousseau is still in the gym. She said she is usually in the AT room until 6:30 in the fall and spring, and 9:30 in the winter because some teams have late practices.

Brousseau said athletes visit the training room for a host of different reasons, including pulled muscles, sprained joints, rehab exercises for strength, concussion cases. In a moment of candor, she added that some of the kids she sees are simply “trying to get out of afternoon practices.”

Last year, Brousseau was an Athletic Trainer with Mr. Grant, and this year she has also taken on the role of Associate Athletic Director as well as an Athletic Trainer, along with Ms. Norgang (the head Athletic Trainer.)

With the new job titles, her responsibilities have changed. “There is a lot more paperwork that comes along with the administrative part of my job,” she said. “There are also a lot more meetings that I didn’t have last year. The best part of this new angle of my job is I get to work with all of the great coaches in different ways since I work with the cage a lot now too.”

Along with her busy schedule at the athletic center, she also has a class to teach. During B block, she teaches Anatomy and Physiology. The hardest part for her, she said, is, “finding a good time to get my grading done since my days are so long, especially in the winter.”

For Brousseau to keep up with everything thrown her way, it all comes back to keeping track of those dates, times, meetings, appointments, and assignments.
