What is an Athletic Trainer? Certified athletic trainers are health care professionals who specialize in preventing, recognizing, managing and rehabilitating injuries that result from physical activity.  As part of a complete health care team, the certified athletic trainer works under the direction of a licensed physician and in cooperation with other health care professionals, athletics administrators, coaches and parents.

How to become aCertified Athletic Trainer

Students who want to become certified athletic trainers must earn a degree from an accredited athletic training curriculum.  Accredited programs include formal instruction in areas such as injury/illness prevention, first aid and emergency care, assessment of injury/illness, human anatomy and physiology, therapeutic modalities, and nutrition.  Classroom learning is enhanced through clinical education experiences.  More than 70 percent of certified athletic trainers hold at least a master’s degree.

Athletic training is not the same profession as personal training.  And certified athletic trainers work with more than just athletes – they can be found just about anywhere that people are physically active. 

To become certified athletic trainers, students must pass a comprehensive test administered by the Board of Certification.  Once certified, they must meet ongoing continuing education requirements.

Page 15: Basic Athletic Training Class

Duties as a student first responder Game setup - water, ice, emergency records Assist with taping – as skills develop Assist with minor first aid – wound care, ice

application Assist with hydration - timeouts, sidelines, etc. Observe certified athletic trainer – if present YOU DO NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF A COACH

OR ATHLETIC TRAINER (no pressure)

Page 16: Basic Athletic Training Class

Game/practice sideline setup Make sure water coolers, ice chest, first aid kit, and

emergency contact information are on the field/court Make sure that there are cups or bottles so that players can

get water Check the first aid kit to see if you need any more supplies Make sure your coach has their emergency contact records Check in with your athletic trainer if they are there and see if

they need any help with anything Go through your checklist and see if there is anything that

you missed

Page 17: Basic Athletic Training Class

Duties during the event Monitor water coolers – refill if needed Maintain first aid supplies Assist the primary medical provider as needed Watch the action in the game-if your athletic

trainer is there stay close to them, if an injury happens follow what they tell you to do and watch how they treat the injury

Feel free to ask questions! It is the best way to learn.

Page 18: Basic Athletic Training Class

Proper Hydration Keep water bottles or cups filled with water

during the game so that players can have it ready for them

During timeouts or halftime you need to bring the bottles/cups out to the players on the field

VERY important-especially during football season, track, and baseball, but needed for ALL sports

Page 19: Basic Athletic Training Class

Where do you go from here? Complete the SFR CPR/First Aid training class Pick one sport per season to try to be at most if not all

of their home games (for example football in the fall, wrestling in the winter, and track in the spring)

If you already know a coach ask to help with their sport

We give you this information to help you give back to your school

Standard PrecautionsStandard precautions are the basic level of infection control that should be used in the

care of all patients all of the time.

Use standard precautions in the care of all patients to reduce the risk of transmission of microorganisms from both recognized and non-recognized sources of infection.

Applies to blood, all body fluids, secretions and excretions (except sweat) whether or not they contain visible blood; non-intact skin; and mucous membranes.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) to carry out standard precautions includes: gowns masks eye protection and face shield (if splashes or sprays of blood or body fluids is likely).

Page 21: Basic Athletic Training Class

Standard Precautions Hand hygiene - always - following any patient contact

Wash hands for 20 seconds with soap and warm water – especially if visibly soiled. Clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub if not visibly soiled

Gloves Clean, non-sterile gloves when touching or coming into contact with blood, body fluids, secretions or excretions Apply gloves just before touching mucous membranes or contacting blood, body fluids, secretions, or excretions Remove gloves promptly after use and discard before touching non-contaminated items or environmental surfaces, and

before providing care to another patient Wash hands immediately after removing gloves

Gowns Fluid resistant, non-sterile Protect soiling of clothing during activities that may generate splashes or sprays of blood, body fluids, secretions and

excretions Apply gown prior to performing such activities

Mask, face shield, eye protection Protect eyes, nose, mouth and mucous membranes from exposure to sprays or splashes of blood, body fluids, secretions

and excretions Apply appropriate protection prior to performing such activities

General Taping Skills

Taping is an important skill that all certified athletic trainers possess. These skills are developed over time. With proper knowledge of the anatomy and function of the joint, anyone can be proficient in preventative taping. Just like any skill, practice and repetition can help improve the final outcome.
