A key component of the outreach program is education. "Providing education to coaches on sports medicine topics allows them to assist with our role in athlete injury prevention," certified athletic trainer Mark Tillman said. "It also helps coaches learn to recognize when an athlete needs medical intervention for times when an athletic trainer isn't on site." According to Mr. Tillman, the entire MCG Sports Medicine team - physi­ cians, physical therapists, a nutritionist and more - provides a wealth of knowledge to coaches on various topics. "We provide education on injury prevention, injury recognition, first aid treatment and basic taping and brac­ ing," he said. The coaches' clinic was a concerted effort to bring important information to community coaches. MCG certified athletic trainers do more than educate - they also provide 2, 3 & 4 Bedroom Homes with Amenities Down Payment daily coverage at practice and all home events as well as special events in the Assistance Available Offering Real Estate Tax Abatement community.
