TRANSCRIPT
Executive Director, Spanky Stephens @ [email protected]
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
the steroid testing until we get
closer to the end of the session. I
suggest keeping the form and if
testing goes away then ignore it.

Election nomina-

didn’t, let me

in the loop.
There is a concerted effort to
keep you as the membership
better informed about the go-
ings and actions of TSATA. So-
cial Media is the pathway that
we utilize to accomplish this. If
you have a Twitter or Facebook
account join the groups so that
you can keep up to date on
where TSATA is going and what
is happening. Likewise, I am try-
ing to send out via email any-
thing that I find out that you may
find of interest. Sorry if it gets to
be to much, but it has always
been on of my pet peeves to be
left in the dark until the organi-

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.

The Valley Athletic
Trainers Associa-
tion held its 5th
annual Fill the
Helmet Drive
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
www.vatargv.org/fillthehelmet.
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.

cluding the Sports Medicine III pres-
entation, or any section/sections of
the course he/she chooses. Offer-

demic All-State re-
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.
