Here’s how you can support athletic trainers and show appreciation for everything they do:

1. Say Thank You – A simple “thank you” goes a long way. Take time to recognize the athletic trainers in your life.

2. Spread Awareness – Share posts, stories, and facts about what athletic trainers do to help educate others.

3. Advocate for AT Coverage – Support policies and initiatives that ensure schools, teams, and workplaces have access to qualified athletic trainers.

4. Recognize Their Expertise – Remember, athletic trainers are healthcare professionals, not just “trainers.” They are educated, certified, and crucial to injury prevention and recovery.

5. Support Safe Sports – Advocate for proper safety protocols and resources for athletic trainers at all levels of play, from youth leagues to professional teams.

6. Celebrate Their Work – Nominate an athletic trainer for an award, write a note of appreciation, or even just bring them a coffee to say thanks!

Athletic trainers do so much to keep athletes healthy and active — let’s show up for them this month.

@pcrittenden33 Or people who think they’re too young to get concussions 😓

[Amanda Morton @A_KayMorton]

It amazes me how many parents of young athletes think icing their heads will cure a concussion.

DaRon Bland might actually be the best CB from the 2022 NFL Draft class.

Through six weeks, Bland is statistically the best CB in the league:

• 304 defensive snaps
• 26 targets
• 13 receptions allowed (130 yards)
• 0 TD’s allowed
• 3 INT’s (most in NFL)
• 2 passes defensed
• 30.6 passer rating allowed (lowest in NFL)

Bland has the most INT’s (8) of any DB since last season.

And he had to watch 35 DB’s go ahead of him 😳
