As a SASMA Sports Trainer we are excited to give you access to a series of exclusive low cost education opportunities. Sports Trainer education series are designed to be hands on and will focus on game day assessment and management of injuries.
Our first session offered for 2016 is Concussion and Asthma First aid coming up on Tuesday 4 April. This is a great opportunity to further develop or refresh your knowledge on two medical conditions that are prevalent in many sporting codes. Concussion in particular has been a hot topic in media of late with professional athletes speaking out about their experiences.
Learn in the first session how to recognise signs and symptoms including delayed concussion, correct management and the role of non- medical personnel around management of concussion. This session is also a great opportunity to ask a sports doctor any tricky questions you might have.
Asthma is one of the most common medical conditions we came across in sport from those in juniors to senior level. Correct management of this is crucial as asthma can cause death. In the second session learn to recognise signs and symptoms, identify triggers, assess the severity of an attack, manage an emergency and use an asthma emergency kit.
Both concussion and asthma first aid are compulsory components of the Level 2 Sports Trainer Course. Cost for the Concussion and Asthma First Aid Session is $46.00 (non-members) or $36.00 (members)
Our next exciting education session being offered is the Port Power Game Day Preparation workshop coming up on Wednesday 25 May 2016. Listen to Port Adelaide Football Club Head Trainer share his knowledge and experience gained at an elite level to showcase game day preparation and recovery techniques. The session will focus on pre match practices and roles that trainers can play within a sports club. There will also be the opportunity for attendees to tour Port headquarters. This will sell out very soon so be sure to secure your spot today to avoid disappointment. Cost is $46.00 (non-members) $38.50 (members)
