Athletic training has been a fixture in Notre Dame athletics since the days of Knute Rockne. Notre Dames first-known athletic trainer was Eugene Scrap Iron Young, who began providing care to student-athletes in the 1920s. Athletic training continued to evolve and expand along with the Universitys athletic growth. From Youngs first days to today, Notre Dames athletic training department has developed into a fully-staffed sports medicine team with two state-of-the-art facilities.

In support of the Universitys primary goals of spiritual, intellectual and physical development of its students, the mission of the Sports Medicine Department is to fashion a program founded on integrity, accountability and scientific evidence-based doctrine.

The Sports Medicine staff will strive to provide every student-athlete with the most comprehensive, highest quality individual sports medicine health care available in a professional, efficient, compassionate and service-oriented manner.

A diversified program of prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation will assure a positive healthy recovery experience, an improved quality of life, a safe return to full athletic participation and continued athletic success.

Each certified staff member is in charge of the health care of at least two varsity athletic teams. These responsibilities include covering practice and competition as well as traveling with the team as deemed appropriate. Specifically, the athletic trainer is responsible for evaluating and assessing athletic injuries, administering first aid and injury care, making medical referrals, and establishing treatments, rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletic injuries/illness. The athletic trainer also spends a significant amount of time in the education of student-athletes with respect to injury prevention, nutrition and psychological support in dealing with injuries. All staff athletic trainers are certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association and licensed by the state of Indiana.

The athletic training department is under the direct supervision of several sports medicine physicians. University physicians Dr. Jim Moriarity, Dr. Becky Moskwinski , Dr. Kevin McAward, Dr. Matt Leiszler, and Dr. Kathy Cahoon- serve as primary care physicians for health care needs of the student-athletes. Area orthopaedists Dr. Christopher Balint, Dr. Bob Clemency, Dr. Brian Ratigan, Dr. James Sieradski, and Dr. Mike Yergler oversee the orthopaedic needs for Irish athletes. Dr. Steve Simons oversees care of the track and field and cross country teams. The sports medicine department also utilizes the services of Dr. Jerry Hofferth as team chiropractor. Also available are a host of medical consultants to meet specific needs ranging from cardiology to dermatology. Dr. Moriarity, has earned honorary monograms from the Notre Dame Monogram Club.

The athletic training staff utilizes two state-of-the-art facilities to treat and rehabilitate injured athletes. The original athletic training room is located in the Joyce Center. The newest addition to the department is a 9,000-foot plus training facility in the state-of-the-art Loftus Athletics Training Facility which features new rehabilitation and treatment areas in addition to office space for staff.

There are alarming trends in professional-level injuries among youth sports participants. Orthopaedic surgeons see two trends: the number of youth injuries is reaching epidemic proportions and youth are experiencing overuse injuries at a younger and younger age. The high rate of youth sports injuries is fueled by an increase in overuse and trauma injuries and a lack of attention paid to proper injury prevention.

To address these issues, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and its collaborators created the STOP Sports Injuries Campaign. Learn more at StopSportsInjuries.org

ValleyCare offers comprehensive sports medicine care at the award-winning, state-of-the-art LifeStyleRx in Livermore and at ValleyCare Medical Center in Dublin.

Patients have access to a multidisciplinary team of sports medicine physicians, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, certified athletic trainers and strength and conditioning specialists.

We work to return athletes to their sport as quickly and safely as possible, through aggressive and innovative treatment and rehabilitation.

A concussion may be caused by a bump, blow or severe rapid movement of the head that can change the normal function of the brain. Every head injury is serious. Common terms that people use to describe a head injury are ding and bell ringer.

In January 2012, California passed a law that requires high school athletes to be taken out of sports following any head injury and receive written clearance by a physician prior to returning to play.

ImPACT testing is a computerized neurocognitive test that gives clinicians the ability to return an athlete to safe sports participation following a head injury. The test may also be used as a tool to gather baseline information, which provides normal results for comparison when a head injury does occur. The test includes memory skills, concentration and questions that require the individual to problem solve.

Here at ValleyCare Physical and Sports Medicine, we can provide sports teams with the baseline testing. The testing is administered by a Certified Athletic Trainer in one of our computer labs. The results are reviewed by a physician, as well as stored in the National Data Base. Testing should be administered prior to the beginning of the sports season. Scheduling is open Monday through Friday, between 9am and 7pm.

Being proactive and keeping our youth safe is our goal. Let it be yours too. To find out more information about ImPACT testing at ValleyCare, please call Kimberly Connors, ATC at 925.373.4019.

Located within the state-of-the-art LifeStyleRx facility, sports-specific physical therapy by licensed therapists with extensive experience in the prevention and treatment of sports-related injuries is available.

Our program especially caters to pediatric and adolescent athletes who require a special level of care and attention due to various age-related concerns. Through experience and education in Pilates, plyometrics and sports-specific training, we can provide an accelerated rehabilitation program when appropriate. Access to the latest equipment at LifeStyleRx allows us to provide strength and endurance training as well. Regular contact with the athletic trainers at the local schools gives us the ability to quickly modify individual programs for a faster and safer return to the sport.

Our goal is to return the athlete to sport as quickly as possible and help avoid future injuries. An individual program will be designed for each athlete that most likely will include instruction in a home or gym program for strength and flexibility, as well as education about the injury and the biomechanics of movement in order to help avoid future injury.

Physician referral is required. Most insurance plans will cover physical and sports medicine services. ValleyCare accepts all PPOs, some HMOs and Medicare.

While those interested in sports medicine are usually sports aficionados themselves (and therefore may take part in organized sports), this is in no way a requirement for admission into medical school or sports medicine.

Most sports medicine doctors complete a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree or a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree. These programs both involve four years of academic coursework in biology, biochemistry, anatomy, pathology, psychology, physiology, medical ethics and pharmacology. Following the completion of medical school, students are awarded their respective degree (M.D. or D.O). Next, these newly minted physicians must go on to complete a clinical residency, which provides them with several years of hands-on practice in a variety of clinical settings under the supervision of fully trained, attending physicians (see below).

Three-year clinical residencies in internal medicine, family medicine, or emergency medicine (or a four-year residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation) all offer suitable training for an aspiring sports medicine physician. Other, more surgically inclined students may instead opt for a five-year residency in orthopedic surgery. During residency, it may be possible to secure an elective rotation in sports medicine to gain early exposure.

All states require medical doctors to be licensed, so sports medicine doctors must check with their states licensing board for specific requirements.

In addition to a license, doctors may seek certification by a recognized professional organization. This certification will help make the doctor a better job candidate since it will show that he or she has met the organizations professional requirements and is staying up-to-date in developments in this subspecialty through continuing education courses. Certification in sports medicine is offered by the following organizations:

Since sports medicine is a subspecialty, doctors must get a certification of added qualification (CAQ) in sports medicine. To prepare for this, doctors complete a two-year fellowship in sports medicine at a hospital, rehabilitation facility or university athletic department. These two years expose doctors to different types of athletic-related injuries and methods of diagnosing and treating them. Additionally, the fellowship provides experience with orthopedic surgeries, rehabilitative techniques, brain trauma, nutrition, and performance psychology. Orthopedic surgeons can also apply for fellowships in this field, but added qualification certification is not required.

As with all physicians, specialists and non-specialists alike, sports medicine physicians must possess and demonstrate empathy, compassion, strong interpersonal communication abilities, and proficient problem-solving skills in order to provide timely diagnosis and optimal clinical outcomes for their patients. In addition, sports medicine physicians must also possess good physical health, dexterity, and stamina if they intend to perform physical therapy-related treatments.

Sports medicine doctors may opt to base their practice in outpatient clinics, large hospitals, or academic medical institutions. Those in private practice can establish their own practices, or join current groups with the ultimate aim of becoming a partner. Alternatively, a position in larger hospitals will provide the sports doctor with opportunities for advancement, depending on experience and continuing education. For example, after several years of productive performance, staff physicians may take on supervisory or management roles, potentially becoming chairperson of a department.
