Happy birthday to D-C’s Athletic Trainer, Emma Yonkers!

[Titans Softball @GlenviewTitans]

March is National Athletic Training Month. Join us in thanking 16u Coach Emma Yonkers @em_yonkers & her colleagues @nata1950 for the care they show our Titans & all athletes!

[Andrew Hayes @ajhgo4]

Just a quick reminder for everyone involved in youth sports…

Not hating on EMTs but their skill set is for a different environment. 👊🏻

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

Athletic Trainers don’t just tape ankles and hand out water. ATs work with first responders and team physicians to provide emergency care to our athletes if that time comes. Writing and executing Emergency Action Plans are an important part of our jobs! #AT4ALL #SaferSidelines

[NATA SSATC @NATA_SSATC]

Athletic Trainers at the secondary school level play a vital role in injury prevention, evaluation, and treatment. If your school/district is serious about the health and safety of athletes, ensure that ATs are present on the sidelines.

Congratulations to the Varsity Volleyball team on going 5-0 and finishing in 1st Place at the Elgin Invitational. Great job Chargers! @dhpreps @NWHPreps

[Emma Yonkers, MAT, ATC, CES @em_yonkers]

You’re welcome 👍🏼😅

[Mark Halstead, MD @stlsportsmed]

Secondary school ATs,

I know many of you are feeling burned out right now and pulled in many directions. Fall sports season is a grind.

I see you (although not literally😉) and know you are busting your hump trying to keep kids safe and healthy playing the games they love.

[DC-Athletics @goDCHSathletics]

It’s Game Day! The Seniors are ready💪🏻

[Just Jami @jamimayberry]

It’s a special type of insanity to do what we ATs do at every level.

[Erin Washington MS, LAT, ATC @MsErinATC]

Happy 1st Football Friday 🏈 Stay safe out there #athletictrainers Don’t forget your medical time out @KSHSAA @KansasATS

[Molly Hogan, LAT, ATC @atc_hogan]

Who said ankle rehab wasn’t fun? 🤪

[Emma Yonkers, MAT, ATC, CES @em_yonkers]

Yessir we did!!!!!!

[Titans Softball @GlenviewTitans]

If anyone needs any spy balloons shot down, call on Mary McQ from Titans 14u Gold. She crushed home runs in back-to-back games that'd rival anything USAF can offer. Those missiles helped our squad capture a silver medal in @SeminoleSports2 Old Glory Classic! 🥎⚡️🥈

[ReformedAT @ReformedAT]

The problem isn’t getting women into the profession, it’s KEEPING them. Toxic cultures with unrealistic expectations make it nearly impossible to have a family & longevity as a career, especially in athletics. Professional AND societal norms must change!

Titans 14u Gold dug a big hole for themselves in bracket play today. But! Down 4 in the 7th & then down 3 in the 8th, every batter was clutch--especially Mari T. (3R double in 7th) & Laila (2R double in 8th) with the big hits for the W.

[Cubs Zone @CubsZone]

2 years ago today, Javier Báez pulled off one of the craziest plays ever & left the Pirates infield clueless 🤯

[Emma Yonkers, MAT, ATC, CES @em_yonkers]

I have multiple athletes with T1D and having this kind of thing has been one of those things that reminds me I can make a difference in someone’s life beyond orthopedic conditions

[Kelsey Hudson @kelseyjohudson]

I had this great idea for diabetic snacks in the AT room so I thought I’d share with #ATtwitter. I wrote how much of each snack an athlete would need if their sugar was low, so coaches can easily grab a snack for an athlete without having to figure it out themselves

@CentralSr @MoselloATC 🤔😳

[Emma Yonkers, MAT, ATC, CES @em_yonkers]

I will never not love the look on their face when I tell them I’ll take them in the gator 😂

[Dr. Steph, DAT, AT, ATC @StephGrajek_ATC]

When an injured athlete gets a ride on the gator #ATthemeweekend #MayThe4thBeWithYou

[Titans Softball @GlenviewTitans]

We wish Titans 14u Gold Coach @sophiaealbrecht & her @MarianSoftball Sabres team well! They continue climbing the standings heading into the @NACC_sports tourney this month!

[Rachel Meyers, MS, ATC @rmeyers_ATC]

I think I speak for a lot of ATCs when I say we come from a place of “how can we assist you to compete without increasing/prolonging your injury/pain” rather than a place of “sit out until pain free”

Please stop saying “don’t go to the trainer, they’ll sit you out”
