The Strong Rock sports medicine program provides quality sports preventative and injury care to the students of Strong Rock Christian School. Jimmy Bradberry is the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Athletic Trainer here at Strong Rock. He works closely with the team doctor to provide immediate and sustained care for students while also striving to establish trusting relationships with the athletes, coaching staff, parents, and the medical community.

Dr. Ashley Brouillette of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta acts as team physician for all sports at Strong Rock Christian School.

Strong Rock’s athletic training facilities include an ultrasound and stim machine, a Game Ready (hot and cold therapy), treatment tables, a taping table, spine boards, and defibrillators. The department also has an emergency cart available on-site if needed.

Strong Rock’s full-time athletic trainer provides evaluations to determine a safe participation status, preventative bracing and taping, and rehabilitative/reconditioning therapy to any athlete with an injury. Athletes who cannot participate in practice or contests are monitored while completing their rehabilitation program. The Athletic Trainer works with the athlete's treating physician to carry out any rehabilitative therapy prescribed and is prepared to deal with those injuries that occur throughout each practice or contest.

Our Student Athletic Training Program

The Student Athletic Training Program is comprised of student leaders who assist Strong Rock's athletic trainer and team doctor.  The students learn valuable skills throughout the year such as how to treat open wounds, taping techniques, rehabilitation protocols, emergency action steps, and injury diagnosis.  All team members are required to complete an entire season (fall, winter, or spring) in order to earn a varsity letter in athletic training.  Through the experience, several team members have found a passion for athletic training and continued studying it in college.
