Athletic Training
ATHLETIC TRAINERS
Athletic trainers are licensed and certified health care professionals with years of higher education, who work in a variety of sport and clinical settings providing injury prevention, acute injury management and rehabilitation. Athletic trainers can be found in our clinics and on the sidelines at youth sporting events.
Clinic-based athletic trainers bring years of sideline experience to enhance our sports medicine services at the Frisco campus. They participate in injury evaluations, diagnosis and treatment education, brace fitting and return-to-play guidance. Unlike most health care professionals, the background of an athletic trainer includes sport-specific and position-specific training and care experience. Once a clinical diagnosis and care plan is made, the athletic trainer helps the patient and family understand what this means for the athlete in their sport.
Our outreach athletic trainer team provides acute injury assessment and management at a variety of community sporting events for soccer, lacrosse, gymnastics, basketball and 7V7 football. Athletic trainers provide care for injuries that need immediate care and are highly qualified in managing sport-related emergency situations.
