so, obviously injuries in cheerleading has always been a hot topic. Now that I am officially in the athletic training program, I am very interested with getting certified athletic trainers in cheer gyms across the country. I know, its VERY optimistic, but do you know how fewer injuries we would see? obviously injuries are inevitable, but with proper precautions taken and having someone knowledgeable of the biomechanics of everything, i feel like it could have a big impact. Now the question is, how would someone even go about doing this? I personally would love to eventually see it required for gyms to have an athletic trainer on staff, just like every sport in college has one. Not being an official sport is definitely a factor though. There would have to be alot of discussion and what not with the USASF and NATA, but still. just wondering what people think about the idea....
