Derek Carter, Jazmine Wilson, Taylor Wright, Samantha Guidry SEATA presenters |
To kick off the month of February, sixteen of our students
traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the 29th Southeastern
Athletic Training Association Student Symposium. Students were able to meet
certified athletic trainers, fellow students, and leaders in the athletic
training field from District Nine. Educational tracks geared towards students
of different levels offered in depth information on topics including
concussion, core stability, orthotics, job skills, and board of certification
review for seniors.
