The ATC & Super Bowl Sunday

Not only is the Super Bowl the top of the mountain for the players and coaches but also for the teams athletic trainers. With the exception being that they stage their game 2 weeks before everyone else. If you have been following ESPN and the news all you hear is Rob Gronkowski’s ankle. Will he play? How bad is the injury? There are really three people who know the player, the coach and the Athletic Trainer. All the talk you hear about round the clock treatments and rehab – well that my friends ids the Athletic Trainers Super Bowl. To get a star player back in the game, the biggest game of the year, that is why the ATC is such as vital part of any winning team. If we never see them on game day then that’s OK. So it’s not just the game, the chips & dips and the commercials that make a good Super Bowl.
