With only about one-third of high schools in the United States having full-time athletic trainers and another third lacking any athletic trainer services, coaches are often the first responder when an injury occurs. This reality underscores the importance of providing coaches with proper training in first aid and injury prevention.

Sport First Aid, Sixth Edition, Higher Ed Online Course provides detailed action steps for the care and prevention of the most common sport-related injuries and illnesses. The following topics are covered: performing an assessment; administering first aid for bleeding, tissue damage, and unstable injuries; providing life support; moving an injured athlete; and returning an athlete to play. The course will prepare future coaches to respond appropriately and ensure the safety and well-being of their athletes. It will also provide insight on preventing injuries from occurring in the first place with strategies for reducing athletes’ risk of injury or illness.

The course is based on the text Sport First Aid, Sixth Edition, authored by an unparalleled team of experts in athletic training, sports medicine, exercise science and physiology, strength and conditioning, and sport coaching. Lead author Robb Rehberg is the senior medical advisor and director of game day medical operations for the National Football League (NFL) and is a professor of sports medicine and athletic training at William Paterson University of New Jersey. Rehberg is featured in video clips that introduce the various first aid situations and protocols to be covered in each course unit.

The updated sixth edition reflects the latest guidelines for administering CPR and treating concussion, dehydration, and heat illness based on guidance from leading health organizations. The course includes all-new videos demonstrating protocols for the most common first aid situations; practical at-a-glance flowcharts depicting “if this, do this” response protocols; interactive activities and quizzes; and sample forms, checklists, assessments, and safety plans.

Students will have free access to the Sport First Aid certification test, administered by Human Kinetics and delivered on a separate platform (independent of the class). By passing the certification test, students with aspirations of becoming a scholastic coach will earn a valuable coaching credential that is recognized by numerous state high school associations and school districts as meeting coaching education requirements.
