Athletes at all levels continue to die suddenly & lack health care on their sidelines.

Is money now focused on "won't happen to this NIL athlete"? Will some of each purchase go to their sideline health care?

Why are we still asking these questions?

ATHLETES: As you start your fall sports season, ask yourself...

What role can you bring to your team that will help your team succeed?

Here is one thing you can do...

Be a Spark Plug for your TEAM.

How do you do it?

Here are 6 Ways...

1: BE VERBAL
Winning teams Communicate on the court or field! “A quiet gym is a losing gym.” Be verbal. Talk for your teammates. Communication is contagious. It builds energy and Fuels a team!

2: TOUCHES, HIGH-FIVES, FIST BUMPS
The NBA once did a study on “touches.” Steve Nash led the NBA in “touches”…239 per game. He was the MVP. His team WON. In the NBA…Winning teams had the MOST Touches! Spark your team with Positive touches.

3: BE AN ENERGY GIVER
Winning teams have energy givers. They bring Positive Energy to every practice and every game. These players are critical to team success. Be an energy giver and be a Spark Plug for your team!

4: ➕ BODY LANGUAGE
Body Language Screams! Make eye contact. Sit up. Be alert. Nod in affirmation. Smile. Be confident. Positive body language creates positive energy! It is Contagious!

5: CHALLENGE A TEAMMATE
Sometimes, your teammates are not bringing the spark. They may not be playing Hard! Sometimes they need to be challenged. Leaders Challenge when needed. Be this Leader!

6: MAKE A HUSTLE PLAY
Want to get your team going? Dive for a loose ball! Take a charge! Make an extra pass! Set a great screen! Make a hustle play. Hustle plays are selfless. They show the team what is needed to win. They bring a SPARK!

In opening remarks to a standing room only #NCAAconv session on the collegiate athletic trainer workforce, NCAA Chief Medical Officer Dr. @BrianHainline notes that there is no ATC shortage, but fewer ATCs want to work in colleges due to lack of respect, balance, & salary.

After 8 seasons and what may be his final game in Nashville, Derrick Henry took two minutes to thank the entire Titans staff by name — from trainers to media members and the kitchen staff.

@mnhopper1s @ReformedAT Which school??

[Kayla Barnett @KayBay716]

@lizmccormack20 If I know the opposing team isn’t bringing an AT, I just give them water/cups and keep the ice on my side. If they are bringing someone, they get ice/bags/wrap in addition

[Kayla Barnett @KayBay716]

@morris_atc This is great!!!
