LIVE WEBINAR TONIGHT | 7pm CT! Join us for "Back To School Sports Safety: Students Ask the Subject Matter Experts" – where student athletes will participate in the conversation on heat illness, concussion, cardiac arrest, mental health, nutrition and more. A couple recommendations from NATA: 1) Questions to ask of your school: • Who comprises the school’s sports medicine team? • Does the school have an Emergency Action Plan and where is it located? • Is the equipment in working order? • Does the school have an AED? Where is it and who knows how to use it? • Does the school have lightning and poor air quality protocols? • What are the warm weather recommendations? 2) Preparing students for participation: • Receive your annual pre-participation exam • Physical and mental preparation is paramount • Sign up for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training • Recognize heart health conditions • Know signs and symptoms of exertional heat illnesses • Be smart when it comes to concussion prevention and management • Nutrition know how is critical for peak performance • Achieve optimal acclimatization • Allow time for rest and recovery Register to save your spot or watch live on soical media! nata.zoom.us/webinar/registe… #StrongerWithNATA #NATA #SportsSafety #AthleticTrainers #BackToSchool
