⚕️ What Do Athletic Trainers Do When They Run Onto The Field? ..... A Lot! ⚕️ By @activeathletictraining

_

🏈 We see it happen often when watching the NFL. A player gets hurt and the athletic trainers run on the field towards that athlete. Unfortunately the general public watching TV never get an in depth look of what's going on when the athletic trainers check out the athlete. I think they would be pretty surprised that we can go through a full evaluation in such a short period of time while also figuring out the safest way to get the athlete off of the field.

I think it's pretty impressive that we can perform on field evaluations so quickly and efficiently! Not to mention the pressure from coaches and/or it being an important game. What do you think ? Let me know⬇️

When I could tell one of my (former - sob) athletes was concussed just by watching the live stream

At first:

When I found out I was right:

But he's really upset and I'm 500 miles away and can't do anything about it:

When the surface anatomy instructor tells everyone to take their shirts off

Most of the class:

Me and all the other ATs:

Talking with my classmate/fellow ATC about getting our athletes to keep their clothes on

When I volunteer to demonstrate skin fold technique in lab and turn around to see the guys in my group slack jawed

Comments included "beast mode," "damn girl" and "I feel like a jackass."

I held my calipers like a gun, blew on them, and replied with, "and that's how it's done, gentlemen."  Perhaps a little cocky, but I gotta show my #skillz

When I pop a massive blister and was not prepared for that much fluid

When one of my athletes sends me a snap of one of their warm-up songs with a "memories" caption

Finding out camp schedule changed and no one told me just as I'm sitting down to breakfast

No coffee.  No food.  10 minutes late at the time.  Fantastic morning.

When an athlete comes in a minute before practice starts

Needs an ankle tape, is a 3 minute jog from the practice fields, and has a coach that hates tardiness.

Watching the USA vs. Belgium game at work

When I find my long lost margarita scented hand sanitizer at the bottom of my fanny pack

Proof that scent is strongly linked to memory.  Took me right back to soccer!

Camper: I think I have chicken pox. I have a spot on my face and it itches.

Have you been vaccinated?  Yes.

Do you have any other spots?  No

Are you feeling sick?  No

It's a bug bite.
