| Description :
|
An injured athlete is every coach’s worst fear. Whether you’re coaching little league, high school students or this country’s elite athletes, you feel responsible for making sure your athletes are safe both in practice and during competition. But sports-related injuries do occur. That’s why the American Red Cross and the United States Olympic Committee have teamed up to bring you a newly revised Sport Safety Training Program specifically designed for coaches, athletic trainers and others interested in sports.
The goals of Sport Safety Training are simple: To keep athletes safe;
To enable coaches and trainers to prevent, prepare for and respond to sports-related injuries;
To raise awareness of safety issues in athletics; and
To provide an atmosphere in which athletes can train and compete with the confidence that their coach has taken a sport safety course.
