Athletic Trainers are typically employed by universities, medical clinics or academic institutions to analyze an Athlete’s health or injury to develop a fitness and diet plan that helps them play well on their sports team. When an Athlete or student is injured, the Athletic Trainer works with their Coaches and families to design a custom plan to treat their injury and build their muscles. They usually receive direction and confirmation from doctors and licensed health care professionals to more accurately diagnose and treat injuries. Athletic Trainers can be found at athletic events watching the players and providing emergency medical care to them if they’re injured by using devices like braces or athletic tape. When the Athlete is recovering, the Athletic Trainer will perform rehabilitation services to prevent further injuries and illnesses and to get them back into shape.
