ATs Spotlight during Boston Marathon

4/23/2014

In light of the recent 1 year anniversary of the bombings during the Boston Marathon, ESPN released a well written article featuring athletic trainers.  So often we as Athletic Trainers are quick to criticize media for not using the correct terminology or “guessing” on what injury may occur.  “Athletic Trainers Just Did Their Job” was published the past Monday and has been shared across numerous social media sources.  Please use the link below to read the article.

Behind the scenes of almost all sporting events is a team of medical personnel including athletic trainers.  When tragedy struck, these once barely noticed people became heroes for the nation but I believe that ESPN stated it well; they were all just “doing their job”.

Outside The Lines, a featured presentation broadcasted on ESPN first aired the following video in October 2013. The following is the story of Devin Wang, a Boston University athletic training student and her experience in the 2013 marathon.
