ATHLETIC TRAINING SERVICES
PARKER ATHLETIC TRAINER - ERIC LEFAVE, LAT
The Janesville School District partners with Mercyhealth Sports Medicine to provide athletic training services to both Parker and Craig student athletes. Athletic trainers are health care professionals who act as a liaison between athlete, coach, parent, and health care provider to ensure a safe and quick return to play. A licensed athletic trainer is available after school during most athletic practice times to work with student athletes on the prevention, evaluation, care, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. The athletic trainer also provides coverage at specific athletic events.
