The Finish Product, Not too Loose, and not too tight, it has to be just right!	And now the Stations and each team goes into Taping Action.	A certified instructor checks this student on his pre-wrap application.
This Trainee starts the taping process--Slap, Slap goes the tape on the Ankle.	Round and round, the tape goes, and carefully around the heel and back up and around.	Looks good, applying the finishing touches!
