This review is from: Fundamentals of Athletic Training, Second Edition (Hardcover)
We are using this as Home School curriculum for our daughter to be a Student Trainer for our football team. It is laid out well, easy to understand and create a sylibus from. I highly recommend this for any students wishing to get in to athletic training.
