To all the private coaches who keep telling their paying customers to transfer because it helps them get recruited, just stop. College recruiters don't care where players play. They care if they have talent, have good grades and are good people.

One committee down for my athletic trainer licensure bill, AB 796! Thank you to all the supporters for traveling to Sacramento for today’s hearing. I’m excited to finally get athletic trainers licensure in this state!
Last week's Team Up for Sports Safety event, hosted by @K_S_Institute in conjunction with NATA, @CATA_AT and @NFL featured @RamsNFL's Reggie Scott, former NFL player Andrew Whitworth, former @Lakers AT Gary Vitti and @asmakilahweber, author of Assembly Bill 796, for AT licensure.

CA is the only state that does not require high school athletic trainers to have certification. But a new bill would change that. @jaimemaggio discusses this issue w/ @RamsNFL Trainer Reggie Scott & @AndrewWhitworth

I had an incredible day at the Team Up For Sports Safety (TUFFS) meeting where I spoke about my bill, AB 796, which would require athletic trainer licensure in CA. We are the ONLY state in America that does not require a state license to regulate the athletic trainer profession.

From concussions and sprains to general medical conditions, there’s an AT for that. As culturally competent health care professionals, ATs are equipped to prevent, diagnose and treat a variety of health issues, often providing necessary preemptive, emergency and lifesaving care.
Excited to stand behind @drakilahweber in introducing AB 796 to license #athletictrainers in CA. ATs are healthcare professionals who work to keep athletes safe. CA remains the only state with no regulation for ATs. #ProtectYouthAthletes
A save in Surrey, North Dakota (from Sept.)
