Excerpt from the April issue of Training & Conditioning Magazine
When administrators at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Ill., hired 23-year-old Brian Robinson as the state’s first full-time high school athletic trainer in 1977, they handed him a blank canvas. Thirty-seven years later, Robinson, MS, ATC, LAT, who is retiring at year’s end, is leaving behind a 2,200-square-foot, state-of-the-art masterpiece manned by three full-time athletic trainers. It is a model athletic training program, at any level.
Robinson was nominated by NATA Hall of Famers Sue Stanley-Green, MS, ATC, LAT, Athletic Training Program Director at Florida Southern College, and Al Green, MEd, ATC, LAT, Florida Southern’s Head Athletic Trainer and Associate Athletic Director, who describe Robinson as a “pioneer and torchbearer for expanding and improving medical care in secondary schools.”
