On day two, the focus shifted to the practical side of managing sports injuries. Participants engaged in hands-on training, learning how to assess and treat common injuries that athletes may encounter, from sprains and fractures to more severe conditions.
As we prepare for the challenges of the winter sports season, it is important to remember the words, “๐๐ง ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ๐ท๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ, ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ฉ๐ช๐ฑ ๐ช๐ด ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ.” Our first aiders exemplify true leadership by stepping up to serve our athletes and community. Their dedication to learning and readiness to assist others is a testament to the values we uphold in our sports programmes.
