NATA VIRTUAL MEDIA BRIEFING: A Super Bowl Spotlight on Youth Sport Safety: Athletic Trainer Access & Availability & What The Research Says
Date & Time
Selected Sessions:
Jan 31, 2025 12:00 PM
Description
With the Super Bowl set for Sunday, February 9, the game always puts a spotlight on sports safety and particularly at the youth level. While all NFL teams have full-time athletic trainers (ATs) on staff, only 37% of US public high schools employ them.
But what about those young athletes who may live in remote areas where care is not as frequent if at all? Or schools in metropolitan environments where staffing shortages (or staffing of ATs at all) may be a factor? Join an interdisciplinary group of health care experts to hear first-hand both the successes and challenges that have come with providing onsite and gold standard care.
The one-hour discussion will include the unveiling of a new study to be published in the January Journal of Athletic Training that examines athlete acute injuries and AT access and availability; insights from athletic trainers and others working directly with young athletes where ATs are or are not present; how we can better prevent and manage injury; youth sport safety recommendations and advocacy efforts as we look ahead.
