Athletes, parents, coaches, admins, boosters, fans, officials - do you know how YOUR school/league/team/org responds to these situations? If you don’t, ASK.
If they don’t know, ask WHY NOT. Then, ask yourself WHY you are okay with putting an athlete’s life at risk. #AT4ALL
Damar Hamlin collapses on national television. The whole world is watching. To so many, this looks like total chaos. Fortunately for him, it isn't and wasn't. The medical providers on the field tonight are well versed in this type of process. They've practiced it. #AT4ALL

ATs - Review, practice, & perfect your EAPs. Don't wait for an unfortunate event like this to be your reminder.
Athletic Trainers work with performing artists to provide specialized injury prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation.
Check out the Dance, Band & Performing Arts poster session (Posters 36-41) at #VNATA2020. #FreeComm2020#Perform_Arts
Athletic Trainers can help shape a positive team culture by doing the following:
-Showing up on time every time
-Looking professional
-Displaying pride in one’s work
-Brining positive energy to interactions
-Reinforcing accountability
-Demonstrating ethics and integrity
If your school or team does not employ an athletic trainer but are resuming sports, who is developing and managing health and safety policies for your team? Now more than ever, students athletes deserve to have an athletic trainer on their team. ⚽️🏀🏈🏐
