Erin Scharer

Erin Scharer is the athletic trainer at LBCC. You can find her in the training, which is located in the Gym, and it is the first door on the left once you enter the gym. She will be in the training room Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12pm-2pm, and anyone is welcome to see her if they are concerned with any injuries they have. She says "I wanted to be an athletic trainer because I grow up around athletics, and loved athletics. I love being around athletes, and their energy, so that's what drew me into the field. I enjoy rehabbing athletes injuries so they can get back out on the court, or field."..."Also before I came to LBCC I was working full time at Willamette University, and left there because the time demand was so great, and I have been gone for a couple years so I was really missing working in an athletic training room, and working with the athletes. I saw this job open up, it was part time so it fitted well with my schedule."

Photo courtesy of Weston Basl It’s just a regular Monday afternoon, and basketball class at LBCC just ended. About eight other students stay in the gym after the class has ended. An hour later, and the gym is empty. Another hour past … still, no one in the gym. No one, except for Weston Basl, as he constantly stays practicing, while nobody is there. Weston Basl, aka “West,” is a 18-year-old freshman LBCC student who is from Culver, Oregon. He is currently still undecided on what he wants to major in. West decided to go to LBCC because he wanted to experience the college life, and he is trying to play for the LBCC men’s basketball team next year. “I’m just practicing every day trying to get better. I haven't talked to the head coach at all, but I have talked to the assistant coach, coach Zimmermann. I actually had a training session with him in the summer, it was just him and I in the gym. Unfortunately I missed the tryout days, and didn’t make the team. I am upset with...

  The photographer I chose to do my photographer of the week project on is Neil Leifer. Neil Leifer is one of the top sports journalists of all time, maybe even the best sports journalist of all time. He is known for taking photos of many famous athletics like Kareem Abdul Jabber, Willie Mays, Carl Lewis, Jackie Joyner Kersey, and Julies Erving.
