National Athletic Training Month (NATM) is held every March in order to spread awareness about the important work of athletic trainers. But what is an athletic trainer!?
Athletic Trainers are licensed and/or board certified allied healthcare professionals that specialize in emergency care, prevention, evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, and eventually return to activity of orthopedic and sports injuries!
If you didn't know, Burnet CISD employs two athletic trainers (Mariah Jones and Angel Rios) to cover all sports and orthopedic injuries across the high school and middle school campuses! Our Burnet Sports Medicine team works together to care for all of our teams including football, volleyball, basketball, soccer, track/CX, swim and dive, cheer, tennis, softball/baseball, and our band and highlandettes!
