For some, a site-specific emergency action plan is an overlooked sheet of white paper.

How do you make an ever-changing document a permanent fixture?

Meet @etandy07 and her solution that's gaining national emergency response attention. #SaferSidelines

Less than $5 per athlete. That’s it.

For an AED, cold tub, and wet bulb globe thermometer for your school.

We CAN and SHOULD do better with $$ priorities for our young athletes.

Thanks @stephkuzy for your work and raising awareness!

🚨The HEARTS Act, which would establish a grant to place AED in schools and make CPR training more accessible, passed the U.S. Senate tonight. #SaferSidelines

I was in DC in March 2023 to support this bill when it was first introduced. I am beyond ecstatic that it was signed unanimously and will provide a grant for schools to increase their access to AEDs and bystander CPR training. @DefibtechLLC @OneShotFndtn @In_A_Heartbeat_

A save in Austin💛

A Texas high school football player suffered sudden cardiac arrest at football camp in June.

St. Dominic Savio hired an athletic trainer for the camp. AT Jaime Perez performed CPR for 20+ minutes on Beckett Moore. #SaferSidelines

Check out this @espn article, written by Paula Lavigne, on the increased risk of heat stroke for athletes taking ADHD and anxiety medications. Tim Neal, director of athletic training education at Concordia University Ann Arbor, emphasizes the need for athletic trainers to stay vigilant, noting, “These athletes require additional monitoring to ensure their safety during extreme temperatures.” Better understand how these medications can affect athletes in the heat: https://t.co/PH9eUl2pfB #AthleticTrainers #HeatSafety #NATA

NATA President A.J. Duffy III, MS, ATC. PT recently spoke with Adam Piore from the Boston Globe and was quoted in an article addressing the Tufts lacrosse team hospitalizations after an intense SEAL-style workout. His insights highlight the critical role of athletic trainers in ensuring athlete safety and preventing incidents like this.

Ok folks, the heat is still here, keep the Kestrel's working OT, and the cooling tubs at the ready. At least on more week until maybe a bit of relief.

If you have a training session at 6:30 am this is what you need to focus on 👇

Even though WBGT says 'safe', linemen subjected to intense conditioning are at risk for EHS. 97% of deaths in our study were linemen. 100% were conditioning. Great save, Ron Steinwehr! Prevention > Treatment. Linemen do not sprint! Train position specific!

Hotter summers are making high school football a fatal game for some players - ABC News - https://t.co/2116iVf5mn #GoogleAlerts

[Stephanie Kuzydym @stephkuzy]

Wonder what a pre-game medical timeout looks like?

It’s this. An AT and a referee having a conversation.

Checking the WBGT, pointing to the location of the cold tub, the exits … just in case.

It’s a moment that if you’re not looking for it, you miss it. #SaferSidelines
