We Need Treatment! The lack of athletic trainers at FAU














Every sport is [supposed] to have at least one athletic trainer.

But things are a little different this year.

Cross country and track were assigned a trainer last year, but she was moved to football so the head trainer could "keep an eye on her."

Why does he need to keep an eye on her? Maybe because she didn't do anything as the FAU cross country and track trainer the previous season!

Well, after he changed her as the football trainer, he forgot one thing- to replace the cross country and track teams with a trainer.

I'm not saying that running is a harder sport than cheerleading or football or softball. But every FAU sport deserves their own athletic trainer.

How are the cross country and track teams supposed to get treatment after a six mile speed workout? Or a 13 mile run?

Every athlete on every team has injuries, pain, sickness, or problems at some point during the year. So, every FAU sport needs someone (an athletic trainer) to assist those athletes who need care.

While they look for one, we'll be waiting (in pain.)
