The
ALATA Hall of Fame honors athletic trainers who
have distinguished themselves throughout the
years in the service of athletic training in
Alabama. The athletic trainer is an allied
healthcare provider who specializes in athletics
healthcare. In cooperation with physicians and
other allied health personnel, the athletic
trainer functions as an integral member of the
athletic healthcare team in secondary schools,
colleges and universities, sports medicine
clinics, professional sports programs, and other
athletic healthcare settings.
As specialists in the prevention, recognition,
management and rehabilitation of injuries
incurred by athletes, athletic trainers
evaluate, administer immediate emergency care,
minimize the athlete's reaction to injury, and
maximize their physical status for return to
competition. Using knowledge of each athlete's
injuries and the factors influencing them, the
athletic trainer - with the attending family or
team physician - develops a treatment program
based on medical, exercise and sports sciences.
