LSU Athletic Training Student of the Month
Congratulations to Nick Badeaux! Nick was chosen as our September Athletic Training Student of the Month by the LSU Athletic Training Staff and Graduate Assistants. Nick is a 3rd year athletic training student currently working with the LSU Football team. His previous assignments have been Swimming and Diving and Track and Field. Nick has been a great role model for his fellow students not only at football but throughout the Athletic Training Program. When asked about Nick, Shelly Mullenix, MS, ATC, Staff Certified Athletic Trainer for LSU Football and Director of Wellness said, “Nick has been a great addition to our crew of athletic training students at football this year. We expected Nick to step into a leadership role as a senior student as well as mentor the younger students. He has done just that. He really exemplifies much of what we look for in our students; he is hardworking, a team player and has a sincere interest in learning and improving his skills. He has taken initiative in assisting with rehabilitations and this will pay off over time as he begins to gain independence and confidence. We are proud of Nick and look forward to watching him evolve over the season.”
