Thankful for all the women ATs out there that make our profession better, our schools safer and work hard to keep our athletes healthy.

The SWC ATs stand with the IHSA’s Sports Medicine Advisory Committee! Beginning in September of 2024, SMAC offered opposition to the football playoff expansion proposal due to health & safety concerns. facebook.com/share/p/1CLEST…

Digging deaper did you know there is a ranking for states safety for high school athletics? Illinois ranks 13th. Where it score well you ask, most major areas. Focusing on heat accitization a perfect 7/7 and WBGT a perfect 5/5. #IHSAfootball

PG 40-41 The effectiveness of heat acclimation in lowering EHI occurrences was recently demonstrated in high school American football. In schools that implemented preseason acclimatization guidelines 55% less EHI were observed.

Under the @KJCCCmedia heat policy, a WBGT above 90 degrees means no outdoor workouts. In response to a @kcur open records request, the school said: "Please be advised that we do not maintain records of the WBGT measurements." #SaferSidelines kcur.org/health/2025-09…

Athletes at all levels continue to die suddenly & lack health care on their sidelines. Is money now focused on "won't happen to this NIL athlete"? Will some of each purchase go to their sideline health care? Why are we still asking these questions? athleticbusiness.com/operations/mar…

96 seconds to first shock? This is why you simulate. 96 seconds. This is why you say, 'We're prepared for not if, but when.' 96 seconds. This is why drop-to-shock is stressed as three minutes or less. Because it CAN save a life. 96 seconds. This is #SaferSidelines.

A save in New Jersey💛 A Teaneck High School basketball player collapsed on the bench during a game at Allendale. Allendale athletic trainer Pete Koeniges grabbed the school's AED & restored a heartbeat within minutes. #SaferSidelines northjersey.com/story/news/ber…
