Sports Trainer: Sports Trainers assist athletes in the prevention of injury and provide initial management of a sports injury. Sports trainers work in a variety of sports and in various sporting environments. Often, the first person to evaluate the nature of an injury isn't the doctor, but a sports trainer. Trainers provide on-the-scene evaluation and assistance. Good trainers try to keep injuries from happening. To do so, they make sure their clients are in top physical condition through strengthening and conditioning exercises and proper nutrition.

Yes, individual NFL teams hire physical therapists to treat both acute injuries (like sprains) and post-surgical rehab. They usually have a job outside of the NFL though, because Im unsure of whether or not an on-staff Athletic Trainer would do this job.

Hope that helps,

I'm currently pursuing my DPT!

Good luck!
