Sports injuries are common and often inevitable in active individuals. When an injury occurs, athletic trainers are responsible for treating the athlete in a way that allows them to eventually return to competition. However, it is also the trainer's responsibility to prevent injuries from occurring when possible.
An athletic trainer is the first person to respond to the scene of an injury. Sports injuries often happen unexpectedly, therefore, trainers must be ready to treat their patients on very short notice. Timing is always important, because an injuries generally worsen if left untreated for too long.
Trainers should empathize with athletes. Injuries are stressful for athletes, as they prohibit them from doing what they've dedicated their lives to. It is also important that trainers offer treatments that will lead to the best and fastest recovery possible without putting the athlete's health at risk.
