Description: The AMP Sideline Help Coaches’ Clinic provides knowledge, resources, and
tools for coaches and educators in the areas of health and sports medicine. We believe that
partnerships between medical providers and those working directly with students and athletes
provides better care and ideally prevents injuries and improves performance. Recognizing
that most schools in the area do not have direct access to athletic trainers and strength and
conditioning specialists, we try to bridge the gap and work as a team to care for these student
athletes, while remaining within the scope of each individual’s training.
