MAKE SURE THE SCHOOL HAS AN ATHLETIC TRAINER. Thank you CBS Mornings for helping spread the word. @seata9 @nata1950 Korey Stringer Institute #gATa #EveryAthleteDeservesAnAthleticTrainer #PlaySafe cbsnews.com/news/student-a…

From our white paper: Currently in the US, there are over 20,000 public and private high schools, and of this number, it is estimated that over 7 mil students participate on sports teams. While there is an inherent risk of sport, ATs are a key component of mitigating the risk.

Sports-related injuries account for roughly $33 billion in health care costs annually. The average emergency room visits total $1,233; however, secondary school ATs routinely prevent costly and unwarranted visits to the emergency room.

🏈 Don't miss our upcoming Football Fridays in Georgia game between Hughes Football & Douglas County Football on Friday, Sept. 6th. Watch two top teams face off at Tiger Stadium. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. Matchup Details: bit.ly/3MnuJog | #GPBSports

Friday Night Lights! Medical Timeouts! Is this a standard practice that you are conducting?

This is a cool video explaining how NFL teams can diagnose injuries via x-rays within 10 minutes — all without leaving the stadium. Love this type of content.
