Did you know our Lake Braddock Athletic Trainers are THE best?!

NATM


March is National Athletic Training Month!

Certified athletic trainers (ATCs) are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who render service or treatment in accordance with their education, training and the state's statutes, rules, and regulations. As part of the healthcare team, services provided by athletic trainers include primary care, injury and illness prevention, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination and clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. The American Medical Association (AMA) recognizes athletic training as an allied healthcare profession, and recommends certified athletic trainers be in every high school to keep America’s youth safe and healthy.

On average, the Lake Braddock ATC’s undertake the following annually:

  • Evaluate, rehabilitate, and manage over 1,400 injuries (i.e. contusions, sprains, strains, concussions, ligament tears, and fractures)
  • Provide over 5,600 treatments to student-athletes, including therapeutic exercises, post-surgical rehabilitation, cold whirlpool, massage, hot packs, and ice bags
  • Record over 5,200 encounters with student-athletes, including injury evaluations, concussion consultations and follow-ups, prescribing rehabilitation plans, and providing wound care
  • Process over 1,100 physicals for student-athletes trying out for fall, winter, and spring sports, including entering them into an electronic medical records database and managing thousands of phone calls and emails from parents about incomplete/incorrect forms, registration, and the tryout process
  • Endless communication amongst coaching staff, parents, teachers, counselors, and physicians about the status of athlete injuries and level of play
  • Manage academic accommodations for students with concussions to integrate back into the classroom safely
  • Provide daily practice and game coverage, to include Saturdays
  • Mentor students interested in the Sports Medicine field of study by sponsoring an Athletic Training Student Aide club, which requires students to maintain a 2.5 GPA and complete established competencies to earn a Varsity letter/pin.
  • Provide first aid, CPR, and AED training for all FCPS coaches
  • Organize and maintain inventory to provide athletes the best possible care and resources
  • Fundraise throughout the year to replenish expendable supplies and occasionally update non-expendable equipment, as they do not receive funding from the county or school
  • Ms. K and Ms. A spend a lot of additional time on SEL (social emotional learning), helping our athletes work through balancing the challenges student athletes face.

If you would like to know more about our Certified Athletic Trainers, Kristyn Wharton (Ms. K) and Brittany Arndt (Ms. A), and what they offer our student-athletes, please check out their page on the Lake Braddock Athletics Website - https://www.lakebraddockbruins.com/page/3315.

Our ATCs are the Best!

This Tuesday, March 1, state legislation goes into effect that allows parents/guardians to elect for their children to not wear a mask in schools. As a school division, we continue to be concerned about the health of our Fairfax community and strongly recommend that all students continue to participate in universal masking for the protection of students and staff with health concerns.  However, masks will no longer be required while indoors or on buses.
