You know you’re an AT when…
*Friend sends a text & I responded immediately at 7:30pm on a Friday night*
Friend: why are you not at a game!?
We played on Thursday this week…Idk if I should be proud, laugh, or cry. 🙃😅
@CaitrATC Yes! This! This is my why. I want them to see what I do and say “we really have to invest in an AT”. I’m afraid if I didn’t help at all the wouldn’t see the need - or even know it’s a possibility.
1st football game of the season & we activated EMS & sent a kid off on a spine board…..for the other team (we were away). Working both sides of the field isn’t new to me but it’s getting old. Stop making excuses!! If you can’t afford a AT, you can’t afford athletics!
@Stephen_Moss_AT Yes sir! One of the positives of working in 2A is I get to advocate every single game. I couldn’t count the number of times ADs or coaches have asked me about my position!
@Thomasjbarkoski @keithmxatc going on & noticed it was a neck injury. I then stepped in and took over d/t the way it was being handled. I’m more than happy to help - that’s not the issue. It just makes me sick to my stomach knowing so many schools go without protecting their athletes.
@Thomasjbarkoski @keithmxatc I agree. Before kickoff I tell them I am around if something happens. I don’t usually go out for sprains, etc. but something serious, I’m going to help. In this situation I was taking care of my own & when I finished this kid was still on the field. I went to see what was 1/2
🌡️The Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is an indicator of heat related stress on the human body at work (or play) in direct sunlight. It takes into account multiple atmospheric variables, including: temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle, and cloud cover... (1/2)
Parents of current and former athletes: measuring the heat and humidity is not just looking at a weather app and seeing the "feels like" number.
We use a wet bulb reading. It is not the same as a heat index.
Heat index is measured in the shade - we don't practice in the shade
