Throughout March, athletic trainers nationwide highlight their vital role in athlete safety. They collaborate with physicians to mitigate risks, prevent injuries, and provide compassionate care. Unlike personal trainers, athletic trainers are healthcare professionals trained in injury prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation.
This year’s theme, “Champions in Healthcare,” emphasizes athletic trainers’ invaluable, patient-focused injury prevention, clinical care, recovery, and rehabilitation to help everyone return to work, life, and sport. They strive daily to be the champions for their athlete’s journey back to becoming champions.
Pearland High School and Dawson High School athletic trainers invite administrators from local youth sports organizations and employers to explore the “At Your Own Risk” public awareness campaign (www.atyourownrisk.org). This initiative educates stakeholders on athletic trainers’ critical role in prevention and safety.
