Athletic Team Managers or Student Athletic Trainers
Any student interested in being a team manager needs only to contact the coach of the sport that interests them. Managers help with all duties related to the team and in some cases keep statistics at contests. The managers can letter and be recognized for outstanding service. Student trainers need to report to the athletic trainer in charge of the training room. In some cases, these trainers will be involved in seminars or in-house training conducted by the Pro Rehab trainer.
