Georgia State Athletics first responders are our sports medicine staff within each sport. They are the unsung heroes that keep a team glued together, sometimes with medical tape and scissors, but they do it. They really have a special bond with the student-athletes, and with that bond comes responsibility. Sometimes they are the barer of awful news and other times integral in getting an athlete back to competing. The success stories are motivating and the career ending injuries are equally devastating, but the current climate helps keep everything in perspective.
Fast forward to today and imagine being tasked with continuing rehabbing the student-athletes in a contactless time, a lot of changes had to be made in order to keep kids progressing to once again put on the blue and white and compete (whenever that happens).
