HEAT MANAGEMENT TRAINING

The Sport Management Group designed this course to educate athletic personnel in techniques to reduce the chance of heat-related health incidents during practices and games and teach procedures on how to handle a heat-related incident should one occur.

 

The course is designed for any personnel responsible for a team that plays and/or trains in hot weather.  This information is not designed to take the place of a certified athletic trainer.

 

The elements of this course have been developed from NATA and ACSM guidelines and recommendations.

EMERGENCY PLAN DESIGN

One of the most common risks found in athletic organizations is the lack of a comprehensive Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or the existence of an ineffective one.

Most administrators have never been properly instructed on how to create a successful EAP. 

 

The Sport Management Group can design a custom plan based on your organization’s specific needs. SMG plans address all current emergency topics and meet OSHA standards.
