At Lee University, and all over the country, athletic trainers work hard every day to care for their athletes and coaches in many ways. More than taping ankles and handing out water, athletic trainers holistically care for the athlete by counseling, rehabilitating injuries, treating illnesses, referring to specialists, acting as the center of communication and collaboration for an athlete, and so much more.
