National Athletic Trainers' Association

This was an exciting conversation between new National Athletic Trainers' Association president A.J. Duffy and Jenna Wilkerson (Street) on athletic training at the Paralympic and Olympic Games for Team USA. I especially enjoyed hearing about the typical day of a staff or volunteer AT, as well as how they work as part of an interdisciplinary team in the sports med clinic in the Olympic Village. Thanks Jenna for taking the time to share some of your experiences with us and good luck to Team USA as the Paralympics kick off tomorrow! #LAT #atsarehealthcare #at4all #teamusa #olympics #paralympics #nata

📣 It's Back-to-School Time! 📣 Is your school prepared to keep student athletes safe? An athletic trainer can provide the crucial support young athletes need during games and practices. 🤔 Why Should Your School Have an Athletic Trainer? Athletic trainers are healthcare professionals who do more than just tape ankles and tend to sprains. They are equipped to: Ensure Safety: Athletic trainers plan for emergencies and act as first responders, providing immediate care when it matters most. Prevent Injuries: Through expert training and conditioning programs, they reduce the risk of injuries. Offer Rehabilitation: They help athletes recover faster with tailored rehabilitation plans. 🛡️ Be Proactive About Safety Imagine your star player collapses on the field, or a student gets injured during practice. With an athletic trainer on-site, you have a professional ready to respond immediately, turning panic into a well-managed situation. 🌐 Learn More Join us in making sports safer for our kids.
