We are extremely privileged to have a medical provider who understands s the importance of having a Licensed Athletic Trainer in each of the high schools within the Public Schools of Robeson County. Southeastern Health has been assisting Lumberton High School athletics by providing an athletic trainer for years and we are exceptionally fortunate to have Matt Ferrell as our Athletic Trainer.
As the head football coach, athletic trainers have been a great asset to me and my program. I value player safety, and although I care deeply for each of my players, I feel safer with an athletic trainer’s unbiased opinion of any and all injuries.
The addition of Caroline Taylor to our athletic staff has been extremely beneficial to Saint Pauls High School. As a certified athletic trainer, she has helped to prepare athletes for practice and competition, developed and implemented emergency action plans, implemented treatment and rehabilitation programs for injured athletes, determined athlete readiness for return to play, and provided first response to acute injuries.
One of my central fullbacks had a hip flexor strain. Ms. Caponi provided daily treatment and advice on what the player needed to do in order to prevent further damage and get back into the starting line-up. The same player suffered a concussion in our second round state playoff game and Ms. Caponi provided her services in this situation as well. She did a great job in following up with both of these injuries the player sustained.
