Spring is
around the corner and you know what that means! The High school Athletic Training Student Symposium is on its
way! Last year we had approximately seven high schools attend and it was a huge
success! The students rotated around to different stations and learned a wide
range of what athletic trainers deal with throughout their careers. Some of the
stations were taping, spine boarding, splinting, and seminars about
concussions and nutrition. Our own Athletic Training Students brought Tiger Hearts to the symposium.
Tiger Hearts allowed for our high school students to know how to utilize the “hands
only” CPR technique. We can’t share the secrets we have up our sleeves for this
year’s symposium but we have set the standards high to keep educating high
school students about what being an athletic trainer is all about.
