What is an Athletic Trainer? http://www.nata.org/about_AT/whatisat.htm
Unfortunately, accidents happen. Injuries are a part of any athletic competition. Sterling high school employs two full time athletic trainers whose main job is to manage these injuries. With an emphasis on physical medicine and rehabilitation, athletic trainers can help students avoid injury and illness through supervision and prevention while also reducing downtime after injuries occur. The result is fewer lost or restricted days for your athlete. Please allow us to help keep your son on the field by communicating with us before rushing him off to the doctor for a minor condition. Athletic Trainers are trained in the evaluation of injuries and will provide treatment for minor injuries while referring major injuries to the appropriate specialists. This can save you countless hours and money.
In general, remember the RICE Principle: Rest (decreased or no activity) Ice (15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours. Do NOT use heat on a new injury) Compression (Ace Wrap) Elevation(Elevate the body part to minimize swelling)
