What efforts have you implemented to teach kids about the recognition, treatment, and prevention of injuries? What are your methods? |

The school districts in our area (upstate NY) have hired athletic trainers, some full time, some part time on call for after school and for athletic events. Coaches can send their athletes to the athletic trainer for pre game/pre practice taping as well as assessment for what limitations should be placed on the athlete. It has helped to educate the athlete and coaches. |

Does a Good Player Mean a Good Coach?
They generally think a good athlete or player will be a good coach after retiring his/her active sport career. “What are the characteristics of coaching?” and “What makes a good coach?” |

Teaching kids about recognition, treatment and injury prevention is great,in terms of the school setting. But what about after school recreational sports? And what about volunteer youth coaches? How do you suppose that these skills and education are incorporated on this level.? It's much easier to get coaches in schools systems educated/trained, but what about those who coach on a volunteer, after-school basis? These coaches are the ones who really need the education the most. What assurance is there that youth athletes are safe? |
