I had this great idea for diabetic snacks in the AT room so I thought I’d share with #ATtwitter . I wrote how much of each snack an athlete would need if their sugar was low, so coaches can easily grab a snack for an athlete without having to figure it out themselves

Why do club soccer teams not have ATs? The athletes pay money to play. Some of that money could be used to pay a healthcare professional to be there to take care of them. I know they usually have them for tournaments, but injuries happen in practices too. #AT4All
