This is amazing: For the first time, Damar Hamlin is addressing his teammates via Facetime. The breathing tube is out, and he’s spent the morning speaking to various teammates on Facetime. Now, he’s delivering a message to the entire group.
His GoFundMe is now up to $7,826,330. His father also suggested to people that they should also consider donations in his name to the University of Cincinnati Health Center.
I thought the NCAA required the presence of athletic trainers at all sporting events. Also, the states (so far as I know) require coaches to have first aid/emergency training. Not sure if game officials are required to have some knowledge of these procedures. If not, then they definitely should be. Bottom line is that, as you say, these ATs do a great job and that training should be as complete as possible.6x6 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 11:38 pm Bills’ assistant Athletic Trainer Denny Kellington was being praised for the excellent work he did during Damar Hamlin’s injury. Here is another example of the great work Athletic Trainers provide.

I’m biased but I don’t think ATs get enough credit or are paid enough for the time, effort and work they do to help the athletes succeed in their sport. Sadly, many schools don’t have concerns for their students and provide ATs.
You’re correct, NCAA affiliated schools must have ATs. Though required, they don’t hire enough ATs to adequately cover all the various sports they participate in. The situation with high schools is much worse. Sadly, 30+ percent of high schools nationwide do not have ATs. Some schools that do, only have part time assistance. The percentage of private high schools without athletic trainers at all is even greater, approximately 46 pct.Brooklyn wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 12:36 amI thought the NCAA required the presence of athletic trainers at all sporting events.
