1/21/2021 10:00:00 AM | My GW: Celebrating our Stories
Welcome back to Beyond the Bio, where we'll get to know more about the people behind the scenes at GW Athletics.
In this edition, we head to the training room to catch up with Adrienne Mendel. The assistant athletic trainer spends much of her time on the Mount Vernon Campus working with softball and both tennis squads.
When I'm not working, my favorite thing to do is?
Bake - I recently found a great triple layer chocolate cake recipe!
If I was an animal, I would be?
Sloth - Sleeping all day and waking up only for food sounds like a great life to me.
If I could only eat one meal for every meal for the rest of my life, it would be?
Bacon, egg and cheese on a New York bagel
My favorite place I've ever been is?
I traveled to Crete last summer, and it was beautiful! We took a day trip out to Psychro Caves, and all of the rock formations were incredible.
If I could have coffee with anybody in the world, living or historical, he/she would be?
Donald Glover
The one job in GW Athletics I'd like to do for a day is?
I know this is cheesy, but I don't think I'd pick another job because I love being an athletic trainer.
The person I'm most inspired by is?
My mom - She's a physician and never missed a single event for my brother or myself growing up.
My favorite book, movie, TV show or podcast is?
Book: Educated by Tara Westover
Movie:Â The PrestigeÂ
TV Show:Â The Wire
My top #OnlyAtGWÂ moment was?
Waking up for early-morning practices has never been my favorite part of being an athletic trainer, but watching practice with a sunrise at the monuments is pretty great!!Â
If I could be granted the gift of elite athleticism, I'd like to be able to?
I'd love to be a world-class tennis athlete.
