How do athletic trainers help athletes stay healthy and prevent injuries

Welcome to the Health, Hope, and Happiness podcast! In this episode, we’re excited to be joined by GlenOak High School Athletic Trainer, Alex Shaheen, as part of our Athletes Strong for Mental Health initiative. Alex is here to talk about how athletic trainers play a vital role in keeping athletes healthy, and how they assist when injuries occur. We’ll also dive into how the role of an athletic trainer is continually evolving.

As a sports medicine teacher at GlenOak and someone who oversees more than 24 athletic teams, Alex shares his insights on staying up-to-date with the latest treatments and modalities. This is a must-listen for both coaches and athletes, as we explore how the collaboration between trainers and teams truly benefits the athlete."
