Role of the Student Athletic Trainer

Student athletic trainers play a vital role in the success of PRHS football. Each day the students contribute to the preparation of the players before practice by taping ankles, distributing ice and heat packs, cleaning and bandaging wounds, and assisting the head trainer with rehabilitation exercises.

During practice the student athletic trainers keep the players hydrated with water and PowerAde at regular intervals, and help monitor players for signs of dehydration. After practice the student trainers help clean the training room, and assist the certified athletic trainer with daily tasks.

Other responsibilities include equipment maintenance, record keeping, practice time clock operation, and support of the coaching staff in various ways. Most importantly the students gain valuable skills and knowledge of sports medicine in a hands on experience. Students are encouraged to take the sports medicine class offered at PRHS and pursue sports medicine at the next level if they so desire.

Student athletic trainers are an asset to the coaches, certified athletic trainer and the football players at Peachtree Ridge.
