Health & Wellness
The Athletic Trainers' approach to health and wellness emphasizes prevention. By identifying problems
early and educating young athletes about potential risk factors we aim to prevent sudden illnesses or
chronic disease and save our community thousands of dollars in healthcare costs. Providing athletes
and the community with the knowledge on how to live healthier is only one small part of what Athletic
Trainers do.
This page will guide you to various topics where prevention is the best medicine. By understanding
some of the risk factors and early signs and symptoms of some illnesses/infections we can work
together to prevent minor problems from developing into major ones, or even avoid potentially
hazardous situations all together.
