THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF ATHLETIC TRAINERS WILLING TO PUT UP WITH BEING UNDER APPRECIATED AND UNDER VALUED!!!!!
Dislocating your knee (always an emergency) and dislocating your knee cap (usually non-emergent) are VERY different injuries and are not interchangeable in conversation. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.
Field trip day 2023! Today we were able to take our student athletic trainers to tour the athletic training facilities at TCU & wrapped up with a little team bonding at TopGolf!
@jesss152 Personally…adrenaline level of wrestling amazing. Stress level for AT thoughts terrifying. The extreme ROMs. Love my wrestlers and coaches but goodness gracious!
Dear HS Athletes: if you tell your teacher that the AT has a note for your (insert excuse here), or the AT told you to (insert excuse here), I promise you that teacher is going to follow up. I also promise you that your AT will not lie on your behalf. #thereisNOTanATforthat
The first step in minimizing overuse injury is controlling competition and practice volume.
No strength and conditioning plan will ever prepare for the world of 2-3 HS games in a week plus 3+ club games on the weekend.
From #concussions and #sprains, to general medical conditions, there’s an AT for that. 🎉Celebrate National Athletic Training Month! Fill in the blank with your special word: There's an AT for ____. Then tag others & use #NATM2023. Visit https://t.co/4aiNAgmwa1 for more.
March is National Athletic Training Month, a month dedicated to raising awareness of who athletic trainers are & the impact they have on patient health & safety. Athletic trainers are multi-skilled health care professionals. #NATM2023
If you have a CSCS, cool.
If you have a Masters, cool.
If you have nothing formal, cool.
The ONLY thing that matters is the results you produce. I don’t care if you have a PhD or didn’t graduate high school, I want to learn from the people making it happen🙌🏻
Athletic training is cool because you never know what you’ll get to cover. There’s more than just football and volleyball that need coverage! #athletictrainer
