Emergency equipment (eg, AED or whole-body cold-water immersion vessel) should be available, readily accessible, and clearly identifiable with proper signage at all athletic events.
Check out equipment recommendations here: https://t.co/R7OixnG6M2

🚨The EAP should be rehearsed (ie, hands-on, scenario-based practice) at least annually (1 time per year or more) by members of the interdisciplinary health care team.🚨

🛑Are your per diem ATs prepared for emergencies?🛑As part of the orientation at a new organization or
event (including those providing per diem coverage),
ATs should review the EAP. @NATA_District1 @D3_MAATA @GLATA_updates @MAATAD5 @SWATAD6 @RMATAD7 @FWATAD8 @SEATA9 @NWATAd10

[Mary Kathryn Schickel, MS, LAT, ATC @mk_schickel]

How does your EAP compare? 🚨

[NATA District 2 @natad2]

Institutions/organizations that sponsor athletic
events have a responsibility to develop a written EAP
for all sponsored activities - are you fully prepared? #EAPupdate

Here’s how you can support athletic trainers and show appreciation for everything they do:

1. Say Thank You – A simple “thank you” goes a long way. Take time to recognize the athletic trainers in your life.

2. Spread Awareness – Share posts, stories, and facts about what athletic trainers do to help educate others.

3. Advocate for AT Coverage �� Support policies and initiatives that ensure schools, teams, and workplaces have access to qualified athletic trainers.

4. Recognize Their Expertise – Remember, athletic trainers are healthcare professionals, not just “trainers.” They are educated, certified, and crucial to injury prevention and recovery.

5. Support Safe Sports – Advocate for proper safety protocols and resources for athletic trainers at all levels of play, from youth leagues to professional teams.

6. Celebrate Their Work – Nominate an athletic trainer for an award, write a note of appreciation, or even just bring them a coffee to say thanks!

Athletic trainers do so much to keep athletes healthy and active — let’s show up for them this month.
