A certified athletic trainer (ATC) is a highly skilled and nationally certified health care provider. ATC’s work with physicians and other allied health professionals to provide medical care, both acute and chronic, for all levels of athletes from high school to professional. Certified athletic trainers have, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree, usually in athletic training. Athletic trainers study human anatomy and physiology, rehabilitation, biomechanics, exercise physiology, athletic training, nutrition, health and sport psychology. ATC’s undergo extensive training in both clinical and professional settings. This education and training allows the certified athletic trainer to administer immediate emergency care. Afterwards, a treatment plan for injuries ranging from acute ankle sprains to torn ACL's is developed under the supervision of a team physician. A large focus of the athletic trainer is prevention of injuries and overall conditioning of the athlete. Boulder High School

Centaurus High School
Certified Athletic Trainer -
Ryan Hale, MA, AT.C., EMT  Ryan is the athletic trainer for Centaurus High School. His experience as an athletic trainer began in rural Kansas when he was in high school. "While everyone else was idolizing the sports stars, I was cutting out articles about team's athletic trainers," he says, "Dr. Pruitt of the BCSM and Steve Antanopolis of the Broncos were my heroes."
Ryan graduated from Kansas State University where he worked primarily with the football team. He feels fortunate to have been part of the winning program and to have been assigned to work almost exclusively with the defense, which ranked first in the nation during his entire time there.
He came to Colorado to work as a mountain bike tour guide between semesters in college and after graduation in 1997 he took over management of the tour company that he had guided for since 1993. During his time there he logged over 800-guided trips involving a total 4,500 clients. Ryan races mountain and road bikes recreationally and describes his ability as "chase group at best." Most recently, Ryan has worked as an athletic trainer at Fort Collins High School, Nederland High School, and with the U.S. Women's Field Hockey Team, in addition to working as an EMT with a local ambulance service. Ryan has his master's degree in Sport Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado, studying two areas of interest: the role of athletic trainers in the psychosocial health of their athletes and the study of gender issues in sports.Centaurus High School Address
