Just wanted to share this handy dandy link, since I am sure with the budget cuts, it will be even harder for track and field and cross country athletes to get access to the athletic trainer. Its got some simple solutions to common injuries that occur, as well as some additional information that athletic trainers know about, like nutrition. There is also some general introductory information on periodization and the idea behind plyometrics.
Also wanted to recommend the book,
100 Questions and Answers About Sports Injuries by Thomas M. Howard, Gary Ho, and Josh Lewis.
Its not super comprehensive, but it does address the basics behind common injuries, what to do, and has a pretty good section on stretching and common injuries broken down by sport. Might be a good summer read for after you're out at practice and you want to learn about shin splints or rotator cuffs.. It'd be good stuff to know if you're interested in being an athletic trainer, coach, or just how to take care of yourself as an athlete.
