Athletic Training provides care for the
athletic population including taping, injury
care, bracing, sport specific training, and
emergency care of athletes during games
and practices.
Certified athletic trainers (ATC’s) are experts
in identifying, preventing and managing
injuries that arise because of physical activity.
ATC’s provide a way to avoid injuries that
could require medical attention as well as to
provide an easier way to return an individual
to the desired physical activity.
The AMA describes athletic trainers as
“lifeguards” to the athlete and that every
athletic event should have one present for
high school sports. Most Athletic Trainers are
employed by clinics, college’s and
Professional teams.
