Hands-On-Health

When you attend a play, all you see onstage are the actors performing their parts. Yet, the production could not succeed without the support of numerous unseen backstage personnel. In much the same way, a ball game or other sporting event involves the joint efforts of a number of behind-the-scenes personnel, not the least of whom is the athletic trainer and/or team physician. Responsible for maintaining the health of the players both on and off the field, this sports medicine professional is in a very real sense the team guardian.
