Pine-Richland student-athletes have access to athletic trainers at both the high school and middle school levels.  

An athletic trainer is a certified and licensed healthcare professional who practices in the field of sports medicine. Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association as an allied healthcare profession.

Athletic Trainer Duties & Responsibilities

  • Respond immediately to injuries that happen during training, competition or practice
  • Provide information and education about the condition of the athlete, scope of athlete’s injuries, etc. to coaches, parents and the athletes themselves
  • Monitor athletic events and team practices
  • Assess injuries, including concussions and determining whether athletes can return to the field of play
  • Act as liaison between the patient and physicians, support staff and medical assistants
  • Prevent athletic injuries through education and intervention
  • Assist with maintaining all medical records

In order to perform these tasks, athletic trainers must rely on their extensive education and training background and their abilities to relate to the patients who are often in pain and frightened about the potential long-term implications of their injuries.
