Sheri Hoffpauir puts in many long hours as the LCM High School trainer.

Everyday Sheri Hoffpauir arrives at LCM to treat injured athletes and deal with any new ones that come her way. She communicates daily with parents and athletes on injuries and progress in rehab. Her day ends with cleaning up after practices or games and rehab.

Hoffpauir is the Head Sports Trainer at LCM and works long hours to help student athletes with any injuries or concerns they might have.

“I find it rewarding helping athletes stay healthy and to succeed after an injury,” Hoffpauir said.

She’s not alone on the sidelines. Her student trainers are there to help, doing what needs to be done on the football field.

“It’s fun and exciting,” Hoffpauir said. “It can be frustrating because sometimes I expect too much out of them.”

Working with stubborn football players can be challenging at times and stressful but Coach Hoffpauir handles it by being tough and fair. She also manages her stress through her faith, eating right, and physical activity.

“There’s never a dull moment,” Hoffpauir said.
