Tiger Training

Athletic training is practiced by licensed athletic trainers (LAT) who are health care professionals working under the guidance of a team physician.

Licensed Athletic Trainer’s (LAT's) strive to optimize activity and participation of athletes and patients across age and care continuums. Athletic training encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, and intervention of emergency, acute and chronic medical conditions involving impairment, functional limitations, and disabilities. LATs work under the direction of physicians, as prescribed by state licensure statutes. LATs work according to education levels and underneath the state practice act. Athletic training is the only profession where health care ranges from catastrophic injuries to mild illnesses. The focus of athletic training is to recognize the need for referral and consultation to work as a liaison with the team physician to help athletes participate at a high level of competition.
