The need for Athletic Trainers

• Who would be the observant person on the field if
  there were no athletic trainers?
• Who is there to watch for hazards on the playing
  field or surrounding area? example lightning in
  the sky!
• Who is there to provide first aid to scratches?
• Who is there to watch for signs of dehydration?
• Not the coaches

  players are saying!
