The month of March represents Athletic Training Month in the state following a proclamation issued by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
The proclamation had a great meaning to Britney Webb, a former San Marcos athletic trainer and now Athletic Training Division senior lecturer at Texas State University as part of the Health and Human Performance Center, who looks to promote the importance of the need of athletic trainers throughout athletic programs.
“It means a great deal to the athletic training profession that the governor signed this proclamation,” Webb said. “He also congratulated us on being licensed in the state of Texas for nearly 50 years. His support brings more recognition to our profession since we are still new to the medical profession. It also helps to educate both people and the state of Texas on what the role of an athletic trainer is.”
