OUR MISSION:
To utilize the strength of our Athletes and the power of the American sports system
and media to help educate millions of Americans on how each one of us can become
better prepared and trained for any type of natural, manmade or day to day emergency.
“In the course of an Athlete’s lifetime, we should hope and pray that not only will we be remembered for our athletic achievements but more importantly for how we used our God given talents to give something good back to humanity.”

The National Athletic Trainers' Association Supports AFA
"The National Athletic Trainers' Association is a PROUD SUPPORTER of the Athletes
For America initiative and is committed to emergency preparedness in all levels of
sport and physical activity. Athletic trainers are the first responders when an athlete
goes down on the playing field. Proper emergency preparation can literally save a
life or prevent a chronic condition from occurring, if the injury is treated immediately
and effectively. We all know that the seconds and minutes that pass after injury
are so critical, and having this plan in place, along with the important coordination
of efforts with other health care providers is essential for the athlete's safety
and return to activity."
