Book Summary Information

Summary of Sport First Aid: Official Text of the Nfhs Coaches Education Program

That's what makes Sport First Aid such an essential book for today's high school, club sport, and national sport organization coaches. Detailing first-response evaluation and treatment techniques for more than 110 injuries and illnesses, this updated third edition features the latest guidelines on checking the ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation), administering first aid for choking, and using an AED (automated external defibrillator). Also included is the latest information and research on heat-related illnesses and proper hydration.

Sport First Aid is a potentially life-saving reference tool you can trust to help you make correct decisions when placed in on-field emergency situations.

Produced by the American Sport Education Program (ASEP), Sport First Aid is the text for ASEP's Sport First Aid course, which, along with Coaching Principles and Coaching Technical and Tactical Skills courses, makes up the curriculum for ASEP's Bronze Level coaching certification program.

Bronze Level courses have been adopted by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) as part of the NFHS Coaches Education Program, used by 35 state high school associations in certifying high school coaches.

ASEP has been developing and delivering coaches education courses for more than 20 years. As the nation's number one coaching education program, ASEP works with national, state, and local youth sport organizations to develop educational programs for coaches, officials, administrators, and parents. Since 1981, more than one million people have participated in these programs, which incorporate ASEP's philosophy of "Athletes First, Winning Second."
