265 Reasons You Need An Athletic Trainer (...so far...) Poster

Hey squad, we are working on the next Go4 poster, XXX REASONS YOU NEED AN ATHLETIC TRAINER! The injuries, the services, etc that ATs are trained and able to handle. 

We are currently up to 260 reasons and are looking for more! We would love it if you—yes you—would contribute to the list. 

Once we have compiled our list we will hand it over to Timothy O'Donnel—designer extraordinaire and designer of the Go4 logo—who will then turn it into the next great ATR poster. 

We're also going to use it as promotional piece with sports organizations to, essentially, say, "hey, sports organizations, this list is why you need an AT on your sideline."

Anyway, that's the deal. Below is the list, read through it, and then add your reasons in the comments section. Thanks!
