| Gov. Chris Christie Proclaims Athletic Trainer Recognition Week
When it comes to the prevention, recognition and care of sports-related injuries, trainers are often athletes' primary points of contact both on and off the field. They aid athletes before, during and after games and practices, and they are often the first to respond when an athlete is injured.
 In recognition of the tremendous service and support provided by athletic trainers all year round, the Kaufman Zita Group helped the Athletic Trainers' Society of New Jersey (ATSNJ) secure a Governor's Proclamation designating March 6th through March 12th, 2016, as "Athletic Trainer Recognition Week." In his proclamation, Gov. Christie commended New Jersey's athletic trainers on their commitment to provide excellent health care for individuals participating in strenuous physical exercise, physical conditioning or a sport, and recognized athletic trainers' skilled efforts in educating the community on methods and techniques to decrease the occurrence of injuries in their athletic pursuits. The Athletic Trainers' Society of New Jersey consists of licensed athletic trainers, athletic training students, physicians and other allied health care professionals and strives to ensure that athletes receive the best health care possible.
