Trainer Ed helps Team Up for Sports Safety

FWCD’s Head Athletic Trainer, Ed Chisholm was recently invited to serve on a panel for Team Up for Sports Safety (TUFSS). The TUFSS initiative, led by the Korey Stringer Institute (KSI), was established to drive changes and adoption of policies proven to reduce catastrophic sport injury in the secondary school level. This initiative travels state by state and brings together key individuals responsible for improving health and safety policies for high school athletes.

Trainer Ed said there were a wide range of topics being discussed, his particular discussion was on cold water immersion for treating heat illness. The leaders of these discussions will share the information obtained in hopes of formalizing action items for adoption or improvement of health and safety policies as it pertains to secondary school athletic healthcare.
