By: Justin Hargrove, Assistant Athletic Director
would like to recognize all the Area Athletic Trainers who go above and beyond to take care of the athletes they serve. March is designated at National Athletic Training Month and this year the slogan is “Champions in Healthcare”. From middle school to high school, to college, and Professional sports, and now many other non-traditional settings Athletic Trainers are here to care for athletes of all ages.
Certified and/or Licensed Athletic Trainers are most notably seen working with Professional or Collegiate teams. Today however, you can find athletic trainers working in Physical Therapy clinics, hospitals, NASCAR, Police and Fire Departments, with the Military and many other corporate and manufacturing industries. We are fortunate here in Texas to also have many Athletic Trainers working with high schools and middle schools along with College and Professional teams.
As Certified and Licensed Athletic Trainers, Athletic Trainers are providing invaluable, patient-focused injury prevention, clinical care, recovery and rehabilitation to help everyone return to work, life and sport. Athletic Trainers have expertise in Emergency Management, Evaluations of Injury, Rehabilitation of Injuries, and many other areas of healthcare and are invaluable members of the healthcare profession.
Here at , Athletic Trainer, Justin Hargrove MS, LAT, ATC is over the healthcare of the Eagle Athletes with Student Athletic Trainers Logan Campbell, Makayla Patterson, and Savannah Soto. Within our local area we also would like to recognize Alex Fellows and Chace Buckner of Mount Pleasant ISD, Kristen Nugent and Tyler Nugent of Pittsburg ISD, Averi Nelson of Daingerfield-Lone Star ISD, Terri Epps at Mount Vernon High School, Kasie Davis Winnsboro High School, and Tracy Coleman with Titus Regional Medical Center in addition to an off the field/front office capacity with Major League Soccer (MLS) for all the great work they do to care for their athletes.
