CPR & First Aid Training for Coaches & Athletic Trainers
Lifesaving Skills Every Coach and Athletic Trainer Should Have.

|
On the field, in the gym, or during practice, emergencies can happen in seconds. Coaches and athletic trainers are often the first to respond when a player collapses, suffers an injury, or experiences a medical emergency. Quick action can be the difference between life and death. According to the American Heart Association, nearly 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals every year—and immediate CPR and AED use can more than double survival rates.
That’s why Attentive Safety offers Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED training designed specifically for coaches and athletic trainers. Our program equips school and community sports leaders with the lifesaving skills and certification needed to respond quickly and confidently when athletes are in distress.
