NATA Statement
The National Athletic Trainers’ Association is aware of the situation involving athletic training services at a secondary school sporting event. While we do not have visibility into all details, situations like this highlight an ongoing challenge in secondary school athletics: ensuring student-athletes are supported by consistent, well-structured health care systems.
Athletic trainers are highly trained health care professionals who play a critical role in injury prevention, emergency response and ongoing care. However, effective care depends on appropriate planning, training, clear policies and administrative support.
Student-athlete safety cannot rely on isolated event coverage alone. It requires comprehensive systems that support both the patient and the provider. NATA remains committed to advancing policies and practices that strengthen these systems and support the athletic trainers who lead them.
My thinking is whack. I say “oh that’s laters problem”, but when later comes it’s suddenly tomorrow’s problem, then when tomorrow comes I’m in a pickle.
When I’m feeling down I listen to Shots by LMFAO because that’s @nathanielpearc3 fav song and it makes me think of how hard and happy we get when this song comes on
It’s only the second day being back in school and I am debating on changing my major or taking a semester off, and it has been a long week and it’s only Tuesday…. I need prayers QUICK
