Western Hills Athletic Training Mission

The mission of the Western Hills athletic training staff is to provide high-level accessible health care to the student-athlete population of Western Hills high school. We are committed to providing care in accordance with the most recent evidence-based practices and current gold standards. This care falls into five distinct domains:

Prevention of Athletic Injuries

Recognition, Evaluation, and Immediate Care of Athletic Injuries

Rehabilitation and Reconditioning of Athletic Injuries

Health Care Administration

Professional Development and Responsibility

We are committed to ensuring that the health and safety of our student-athletes takes precedence over all else. 


Who are Athletic Trainers?

Athletic trainers (ATs) are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who render service or treatment, under the direction of or in collaboration with a physician, in accordance with their education, training and the state's statutes, rules and regulations.  As a part of the health care team, services provided by athletic trainers include primary care, injury and illness prevention, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination and clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. 

Athletic trainers are sometimes confused with personal trainers. There is, however, a large difference in the education, skillset, job duties and patients of an athletic trainer and a personal trainer. The athletic training academic curriculum and clinical training follows the medical model. Athletic trainers must graduate from an accredited baccalaureate or master’s program, and 70% of ATs have a master’s degree
