Friars Athletic Training

Every Athlete Deserves an Athletic Trainer. Every Friar Athlete Has One. #BLFriars. A Safe Sports School #HealthyFriar

[Mike Hopper, MS, LAT, ATC @mnhopper1s]

“Make sure 911 is called now.” Some of the first instructions when you open an #AED. You can start CPR, you can apply the AED, but if nobody calls 911 then you won’t have help coming to you!

Check—Call—Care

Took a few minutes to spend a little time practicing skills on this #StopTheBLeed Day. We proudly offer this training to our faculty/staff each year and have this equipment located throughout the @BishopLynch campus. It’s another thing we’re prepared for but hope we never need!

Today and everyday, we are thankful for our school nurse! We are #BLessed to have Ms Barton serving the @BishopLynch community! And as ATs, we are so fortunate to have an ally in #SchoolHealth! #IGNITE @BishopLynch

New technology in the athletic training room today. The ActivForce 2 dynamometer is used for measuring muscle strength and range of motion. It will give us more objective measurements as we get #BLFriars back to sport! @activforce

A save in northwest Louisiana💛

A Benton High track athlete went into cardiac arrest before practice on Feb.

His coach called for help, the school nurse began chest compressions & AED-trained staffers brought the device. #SaferSidelines

Today we’re thankful for the athletic trainers in TAPPs 6A North. Our schools have made athlete safety a priority by having at least 2 full time ATs on staff. We know that when our teams travel to those schools they are going to be cared for. #CareYouCanCountOn #AT4ALL #NATM2026

Our final Staff Sunday is Jordan Hart! Jordan has been on our staff a short time, but she’s been a Friar for a long time, Class of 2004! Jordan is our part time AT, but she brings a wealth of unique knowledge and skills to our staff! #NATM2026 #CareYouCanCountOn #AT4ALL

This is my golf cart. There are many like it, but this is mine.
My cart carries water.
My cart carries gear.

Without it, my job becomes much harder.
With it, we are prepared.

This isn’t just a golf cart. This is a Medical Emergency Response Vehicle. This is #CareYouCanCountOn.

This March, we’re continuing to add to our rehab toolbox. We’ve just taken delivery of a few plyometric boxes, an Ancore Pro unit from @ancoretraining, and a Glute Ham Roller. These new tools will help us expand our rehab capabilities! #CareYouCanCountOn #AT4ALL #NATM2026
