BERTRAND & BLANCHE LETENDRE
SUMMER ATHLETIC TRAINING CAMP SCHOLARSHIP
What is athletic training?
 Athletic
trainers are highly qualified, multi-skilled allied health care professionals
who specialize in injury and illness prevention, assessment, treatment and
rehabilitation for all physically active people, including the general public. High
school students who may be interested in an athletic training career can
attend a summer camp that will expose that student to the field. During
summer camps, attendees will also learn various skills that may allow them
to assist their own high school’s certified athletic trainer with the
delivery of care to its athletes (depends on individual circumstances).

History
of the Scholarship
 The
Letendre Student Athletic Training Summer School Scholarship is named to
honor the parents of Mark Letendre, ATC. Mr.
Letendre attended Manchester Central High School and went on to become a
Major League Baseball athletic trainer with the San Francisco Giants and
New York Yankees. He is currently
the Director of Umpire Medical Services for Major League Baseball. Mr.
Letendre became interested in the field of athletic training during high
school and that interest was cemented when he attended a summer athletic
training camp. He hopes that
through this scholarship other young students interested in athletic medicine
will have the opportunity he was provided when his athletic director, unbeknownst
to him at the time, paid for his summer camp tuition out of his own pocket.
