Executive Director, Spanky Stephens @ trainerex@earthlink.net

Since our last newslet-

ter a lot has happened

and TSATA’s continued

involvement in control-

ling our own destiny

now finally is happening. We were

invited along with the UIL Execu-

tive Director and some of their

staff to have lunch with a repre-

sentative of the Governor’s office

last week concerning concus-

sions. The Governor wants to be

involved in making it safer for the

high school athletes in Texas. I

invited several other people who

work with TBI’s and a company

that makes 3D sensors that the

Air Force is using that has made a

huge difference with their pilots. It

was a great meeting and so we

wait to see where we go next and

when our next meeting might be.

The Second meeting is TSATA’s

invitation to be a member of the

Texas Coalition for Extracurricular

Activities. This is a group of both

coaches associations and other asso-

ciations that are considered to be ex-

tracurricular in the school setting. We

had our first meeting right after my

meeting with the Governor’s office

and rewrote our Mission Statement

and what our goals are legislatively.

The bills of one practice of contact

was mentioned, as was the manda-

tory bill on Impact screenings or cog-

nitive testing. Neither has been

placed in a committee to be heard as

of today. Our second meeting is today

the 13th at the UIL at 1pm.

We have a nice group of you signed

up for our Sports Medicine Curriculum

class at L.D. Bell this Saturday and

that will be interesting as we continue

to add new ideas, thoughts, and eas-

ier ways to pass on new information in

our profession to our students. Our

continued commitment to our student

athletic trainers is a priority for TSATA.

Congratulations go out to all our Aca-

demic All State winners this year. Our

My Best,

Spanky

It’s a busy time of

year for the Texas

State Athletic

Trainers’ Associa-

tion. We have

seen much pro-

gress over the

past two years thanks to our in-

volvement in concussion legisla-

tion. Special thanks to Spanky

Stephens for his leadership and

commitment to the athletic

trainers in the state of Texas.

The upcoming legislative ses-

sion will offer many opportuni-

ties for the TSATA to be involved.

On March 21st we will be host-

ing a day at the state capital to

honor many athletic trainers

who have saved the lives of ath-

letes across the state. There will

also be a proclamation from the

Legislature regarding national

athletic training month. We will

also honor those legislators who

supported our efforts with HB

2038. I invite each of you to

Austin on that day to join us in

recognizing the athletic trainers

in the state of Texas, as well as

encouraging our elected officials

to continue to put athlete safety

first during this session. With

that being said, there are many

pieces of legislation for 2013

that have been filed regarding

the high school athletes in

Texas. Much of this legislation

has been filed in past sessions

and we will continue to monitor

the progress of each of the bills

moving forward. It is important

that we keep a watchful eye on

legislation as it moves through-

out the capital. It is equally im-

portant that we are patient and

are careful how we react and

comment on each of these bills.

We are fortunate to have the

services of David Anderson at

Hillco partners to help guide us

through this process. Whether it

is concussion testing, cardiac

screening, or general athlete

safety issues, we are prepared

and willing to communicate as

needed, and as guided by our lob-

byist. I encourage you to use this

link http://capitol.state.tx.us/

Search/BillSearch.aspx to learn

more about legislation as it un-

folds. Here are a few to get you

started: HB 887, HB 68, HB 1319,

SB 573, SB 3791. As a member, I

welcome your input and recom-

mendations on these issues. In

closing, remember there is no

greater advocate for the profes-

sion and the job we do as athletic

trainers than YOU. You impact

people everyday by the choices

you make in navigating the care of

those in your practice setting.

Whether it be athletes, patients,

parents, coaches, physicians,

community members, or col-

leagues, always represent yourself

and the profession with integrity

and class. We are growing. People

are watching. Let’s show them

who we are!

them come to fruition, there could

be some changes that would be

out of the UIL’s Control. We do not

anticipate any at this time.

We will not know anything about

suggest keeping the form and if

testing goes away then ignore it.

Greetings to all in

Region 6.

As the craziness

known as spring se-

mester begins to start

winding down, I hope

that this newsletter and regional

update finds everyone doing well

and healthy.

In this newsletter, there should

have been information concerning

the latest happenings that will af-

fect you the athletic trainer in this

Legislative Session. I will not get on

my soapbox about this, nor will I tell

you what you should do concerning

these Bills. What I will say however

is that we (the Athletic training pro-

fession) need to contact the Law-

makers in your area and those

sponsoring certain pieces of

“important” legislation and have our

collective voices heard. If they don’t

know how a group feels, it will be

business as usual in Austin.

On another related note: Hit the Hill

(Austin) will be in March. If there is

anyone from Region 6 that has:

Saved a life using an AED since the

AED law was adopted in 2007. Or if

a student has noticed signs/

symptoms of a life threatening issue

since the adoption of HB82 in

2009. Or if you or someone else

has a positive story concerning con-

cussions since 2011, please for-

ward that information to me. We

want to highlight the positive as-

pects of these bills. There will be a

time to highlight the negative as-

pects soon enough.

If you have any questions concerning

pending legislation or there is anything

that I may be able to help with, please

do not hesitate to contact me.

Professionally,

Bubba Wilson, ATC, LAT

benefiting Grid-

iron Heroes Spinal

Cord Injury Foun-

dation. In five years, VATA has

raised over $30,000 for Gridiron

Heroes, which help provide emo-

tional and financial support to

athletes in Texas that have suf-

fered spinal cord injuries while

playing football. This year, VATA

raised close to $7,000 for Grid-

iron Heroes and is planning a

late Spring walk, run, or roll-a-

thon 5K to create more aware-

ness. For more information, visit

South Texas Athletic Trainers

and members of the Valley Ath-

letic Training Association helped

volunteer their time with H-E-B’s

Annual Feast of Sharing, which

provides a delicious Thanksgiv-

ing Feast to the local

community. VATA members

helped serve meals to over

12,000 citizens in Brownsville,

TX. VATA’s Student Affairs Com-

mittee would like to thank H-E-B

for their help with our athletic

training student scholarships.

VATA members donated more

than 80 toys that were donated

to the Ozanam Homeless shelter

in Brownsville, TX. Toys also

went to needy Rio Grande Valley

families.

In addition to awarding four high

school athletic training scholar-

ships, the Valley Athletic Train-

ers Association has developed a

new undergraduate scholarship

for collegiate students from the

Rio Grande Valley area for the

2014 year. For more details,

please visit

A 17 year old baseball player

went into cardiac arrest while

doing push-ups during athletics

class. Brownsville, TX athletic

trainer, James Trevino LAT, and

the school nurse used an AED and

performed CPR in effort to resus-

citate the athlete. The student

was airlifted to a local hospital

where he was diagnosed with suf-

fering a heart attack due to an

undiagnosed genetic cardiac con-

dition. The athlete is expected to

recover, but can no longer partici-

pate in sports. His family is thank-

ful for the school staff’s heroic

efforts.

Also, plans are in the works for a

student athletic training video

contest for National Athletic Train-

ing Month. If you need any more

information, let me know. Another

idea is to visit our local elemen-

tary schools to teach first aid to

our youth which we did last year

when we were invited for career

day at Palm Grove Elementary in

Brownsville, TX.

Approval for 2012-2014

The Texas Education Agency ap-

proved a Sports Medicine III

New Sports Medicine Course

Update for 2013

We are offering a Sports Medicine

Course Update opportunity for ath-

attend the entire course again, in-

cluding the Sports Medicine III pres-

entation, or any section/sections of

the course he/she chooses. Offer-

cipients this year.

The Task Force

illuminates the

Aptitude of these Student Athletic

Trainers and salutes their ability

to balance academic distinction

and extracurricular activities. We

would like to thank all of the Ath-

letic Trainers that took the time to

nominate such outstanding young

people.

Please take time to complete your

NATA email survey. It is an integral

part of the process, as the Task

Force coordinates with the NATA

and the Korey Stringer Institute to

gather information. Your efforts

are appreciated.

The Mueller TSATA Scholarship

application will soon be available.

Please reference www.tsata.com

Ensure youth athletes have direct access to health care professionals qualified to make

assessments and decisions. If a school has a library, you will find a librarian. If a school has a math department, you will find math

teachers. Students become ill, so there is a school nurse. Unfortunately, when a student-athlete sustains

an injury, only about 42% of schools have access to a qualified health care professional who is capable of

assessing and making return–to-participation decisions. We, the people, owe it to our youth to ensure

they have the necessary qualified personnel, equipment, and emergency action plans, safety and medical

protocols and procedures in place at every sporting event and facility.

This petition was started by Adam Annaconne on the White House petition site in honor of the Youth Sport

Safety Summit. In case you have not seen it I recommend that you check it out.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/ensure-youth-athletes-have-direct-access-health-care-

professionals-qualified-make-assessments-and/NPdNCkq1

Please share it once you have signed it. This would be incredible to receive a response concerning this

important issue which was the focus of the summit. In order to receive a response it needs to reach

100,000. I don't see why it wouldn't reach that, but it needs to reach it by March 8.

Thank you to Ryan Wantz for brining this to our attention.
