“As the mother of a student-athlete and the President of the Troy Volunteer Ambulance Crew, I am grateful to have had Ross available to work with our students. Ross’ worked with my son through a hip flexor injury during track season his 10th-grade year. Not only did he assist him with treatment and rehabilitation, but helped him remain competitive enough to attend the Idaho State Championships. Having access to this type of resource on our high school campus was incredibly valuable to us as parents. Not only would outside resources have been cost-prohibitive, but they would not have been as well integrated into the daily training/practice schedules of our student-athletes.

As President of the Troy Volunteer Ambulance Crew, I can say that having Ross and his students on site has been a real game-changer! The Athletic Training program no only prevented unnecessary emergency transports, but also provided excellent head injury screening and assessment for our student-athletes. Having Ross as an Athletic Trainer available for first-line triage and treatment aided our department tremendously. However, when emergency transport was necessary, our two programs worked well together as we had conducted training sessions to practice patient immobilization as a team. Thankfully, emergencies don’t arise often, but when they did, I was proud of the collective teamwork exhibited by our crew and Ross and his students.”
