Our Student Trainers
Every year Mrs. Crawford has high school students that have an interest in Sports Medicine, work with her as student athletic trainer assistants. These students are able to observe the field of athletic training while providing assistance to a variety of athletes. While student athletic trainer assistants provide many services, they should not be asked to perform any evaluations or give medical advice or treatments without the direct supervision of an athletic trainer.
