Athletes Saving Athletes®
Certified Athletic Trainers deliver the ASA curriculum to student-athlete leaders, teaching them how to recognize the signs and symptoms of concussion, head and neck injuries, heat illness, sudden cardiac arrest, diabetes, and asthma. In addition, the ASA program curriculum teaches students the value of having a well-practiced emergency action plan. Students learn what may be needed as a first responder, and that every minute counts in an emergency.
Student athletes who complete this program:
- are educated in recognizing signs and symptoms
of life-threatening injuries and medical conditions
- learn CPR and how to use an AED (automated external
defibrillator)
- become "ASA Ambassadors" who have made the
commitment to share their new knowledge
and skills with current and future teammates
