I love being a secondary school AT!
Athletic Trainers at the secondary school level play a vital role in injury prevention, evaluation, and treatment. If your school/district is serious about the health and safety of athletes, ensure that ATs are present on the sidelines.

Replying to @ConcussionCTEfn
@ConcussionLF & @annmckeemd, Thank you for honoring my beautiful mother, the 1st public #DVCTE case, during #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth & creating awareness about the unrecognized #DVTBIPandemic impacting millions. Let's end it together. #DVTBIVictims

While this case is the first public CTE diagnosis linked to DV, millions worldwide suffer from similar brain trauma. Dr. María Garay-Serratos, founder of @PanfilaHOPE, wants her mother’s story to ignite a lifesaving global conversation during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
