I would still use the kinesio tape bc if it makes the athlete more comfortable & secure about their performance, I'm for it #ICATinclass

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

& progress rather than not do anything about it now & be in pain 10x worse later #ICAT9amweek9

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

Yes, I would provide treatment knowing it would cause them pain bc I'd rather have them in pain now & figure out the problem #ICAT9amweek9

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

Yes, ATs should be educated on CRPS bc it could happen to any athlete & we could properly treat it before it gets worse #ICATinclass

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

But I'm the one liable for my own athletes, not them. It's my job & responsibility, not theirs #ICAT9amweek8

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

& you can't trust people from just what they say. I would appreciate the offer for the help #ICAT9amweek8

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

I would not feel comfortable with someone assisting me with an injury bc people lie & make up stuff all the time #ICAT9amweek8

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

Yes, it is important to have an AT on sight for adolescent players bc injuries happen at any age & at any level of sports #ICATinclass

& I'd rather be safe than sorry to have an AT at any sporting event than to not have one at all & risk major consequences #ICAT9amweek7

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

It is necessary for ATs to be present at ALL sporting events regardless the level bc anything can happen at anywhere &anytime #ICAT9amweek7

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

@areed31 yes! I was actually going to share this with you too!

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

@areed31 I thought I'd share this with you. This is back where I live & a kid I know. http://t.co/bg8zV26sLA

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

I would've advised her not to fight because it would be life threatening to her & further her injury even worse than it is #ICATinclass

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

(Continued) we wouldn't have a job if they made the decisions for us #ICAT9amweek6

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

(Continued) yes, it's nice to get another opinion, but in the end it is my job & my decision... #ICAT9amweek6

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

(Continued)& it's my job to know what I'm doing in making decisions that's best in my eyes... #ICAT9amweek6

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

I feel that non medical personnels should not be making decisions for my job responsibilities because it is MY job as an AT #ICAT9amweek6

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

(Continued) & informing them on new studies of injuries and how we can try to prevent them #ICATinclass

[Ariel Cortez @acortez92]

As an AT, I would keep a good relationship with the coaches & athletes by having a good sense of humor.. #ICATinclass
