Tips from the Athletic Trainer

Performance's athletic training services provide the best care for student athletes that participate in extra-curricular activities. This is done through physical conditioning, injury prevention, immediate on-field care, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

With proper preventative measures, most injuries can be avoided and an athlete's performance can reach new heights. The first step in injury prevention is knowledge. The following links contain some helpful tips from our Athletic Trainer, Jennifer Gallant. Several additioinal articles will appear throughout the year from our athletic trainer with information on training guidelines for female athletes.
