Sports / Athletes / Coaches ... and the need for First Aid

When athletes become ill or injured during practice or competition, coaches and athletic trainers need to know how to respond. Whether on the court, on the field, at the pool, or in the gym, coaches and trainers must be prepared to handle the common injuries and illnesses they will likely encounter while coaching their sport. Sports First Aid and Injury Prevention teaches coaches and trainers how to administer basic first aid to sick and injured athletes as well as well ways to prevent illnesses and injuries from occurring.

This Sports First Aid and Injury Prevention program was developed to help coaches and athletic trainers manage the common emergencies they likely will encounter while coaching their sport. The manual includes coverage of the phases of injury and the injury prevention model, prevention tips for sports-related injuries common to specific sports, and follow-up management and prevention algorithms.

Coaches and trainers will also learn how to prevent on-the-field injuries and prepare them to handle medical emergencies should the need arise Pediatric Medicine represents an entire world of medicine all by itself. Children are not small adults.
