Meet Asia Lampkin and Darshena Marion, two student trainers who followed Coach Prime from the Jackson State University to the University of Colorado.
Coach Prime's team posted a positive video about two young Jackson women finding their way in the world. He could have left them behind here but no, he paid for them to follow him to Boulder. The two ladies contrast their experiences as students at the two schools in a positive way (Sorry haters, no trashing JSU) for the first half of the video before talk turns to training. It is quickly apparent they are apostles of Coach Prime's tough love message that he preaches to his players. Enjoy.

This has got to be one great experience for those two. I have been on both those campuses and it's like night and day. JSU has so little and Boulder lacks for nothing. It really makes you reflect on the huge accomplishments
so many have made at JSU in spite of the lack of facilities and support that university receives. They both seem to appreciate the opportunity Coach Sanders has given them and I'll bet they are two of the hardest working trainers the Buffs have ever had. Good luck to them.
Good for them! It was probably hard for them to make such a bold move. There are much better places than Jackson for sure.
Bless their hearts, they found a way out of Missippi.
Soon they are going to be wearing Chaco's and listening to Yonder Mountain String Band. That's how Boulder rolls. (sarcasm)
Sounds like JSU’s alumni need to open their wallets and fund this beloved school.
Good for them! Congrats and keep it up ladies!
8:58 JSU's alumni who have reached the age when they can "open their wallets" are mostly retired teachers or social workers depending on SSI and PERS. Very few retired doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. the big donors. JSU simply hasn't been set up that way. Compared to a university with the resources of U. of Colo. it's a junior high school. That won't change soon. Coach Prime saw it with his own eyes.
"...in spite of the lack of facilities and support that university receives."
From whom? The state? The alumni? Suddenly you sound like Chokwe whining that the state doesn't fund the city.
Who in their right mind choose to live in Mississippi when you can live in Colorado ?
10:56 Uh it is called Jackson STATE University for a reason. It's run by the state not it's alumni. DUH.
Even Parchman STATE penitentiary is run by the state not it's alumni. DUH
Get Chokwe off your mind please. Thank you.
11:01 While Colorado has nice scenery, it too is turning into a liberal shithole with the influx of the left coasters. They are shutting down hunting seasons while also bitching about too many wild animals too close to their homes. The people "from Colorado" are hating what is happening to their state. They are calling is Calirado.
A couple of knuckleheads are snidely asking what trainers do. Well, since you obviously know how to use a computer, try google or Youtube. Not giving you an opportunity to do what you want to do so badly, which is trash everything and everyone.
JSU's loss..........CU gain. Get out of MS ASAP and more upside anywhere.
It took a lot of courage to pack up and move....Congrats to these two students!
Kingfish: Have you forgotten? This blog, if nothing else, is nothing more than a venue for trashing everything and everyone. If not for that, why would it exist? And you'd have to find a real job. A real job where you couldn't ask for donations...Unless you worked the corner at St.D.
The questions about what these female students do or did are legit questions.
It's my understanding that a student-trainer is a student enrolled in a health-science or physical education program of study. Those programs may offer a few students on-field exposure to athletics and general exposure to such areas as health, body conditioning, healthy eating, first aid and under direction of professionals, responding to minor injuries during contests.
When one of these students graduates, it's highly unlikely that they will accompany coaches who accept cross-country job opportunities, as the student-graduates have no certification of expertise or marketable profession at this point.
