From the Trainer
Every
aspect of athletic training services provided at M.H. S. helps
to ensure that student athletes are back on the field in a timely
fashion after an injury and most importantly as safely as possible.
The sports medicine team works in collaboration with the athletic
department, school nurse, school MD, and local physicians. The athletic
trainer evaluates all athletic injuries and determines athletic status
using consultation with physicians when necessary. At the start of each
season, coaches and student athletes are instructed as to appropriate
use of the athletic training room facility and of proper procedure for
notifying athletic trainers of injury. Injuries of an athletic nature,
occurring during a school-sponsored activity (on or off campus), are
strongly encouraged to be reported to the athletic trainer and coach at
the time of injury or as soon as possible. If the student athlete is
injured during school hours, they should report this injury to the
school nurse as well
