Athletic trainers’ priority during on-field emergencies is athlete safety. We appreciate Mr. Robinson’s apology & urge programs to respect sports medicine staff & allow them to provide care w/o interference. Athlete safety starts w/ protecting caregivers.

It is a privilege to be able to present the CHCO Outstanding Sports Medicine Student Award each year. This year, the winner is Layla from Montrose HS. Accepting the award on her behalf (because she is a busy senior playing LAX), was her principal, Heidi. @COChildChamps #AT4ALL

Marissa is the D8 rep on the NATA SSAT Committee. She is an amazing AT with a greAT story! #NATM #CareYouCanCountOn
For Marissa Fukunaga, EdD, ATC, Kalani High School isn’t just her workplace – it’s family. Her grandparents were in the first graduating class, she was in the 50th, and her parents, siblings, husband and even some of her husband’s family all graduated there. She hopes one day her daughters will too.
It was at Kalani that Marissa fell in love with athletic training. Today, she gives back to the school that shaped her, working alongside those who once taught her and helping create an environment of safety, care and gold-standard protocols for every student-athlete.
Through her work with NATA committees and her day-to-day care of athletes, Marissa is elevating the standard of care in the secondary school setting, proving every day that athletic trainers provide care you can count on.
🏀⚽🏈 Here’s to safer, smarter and more compassionate care for every athlete this #NATM2026
Go Falcons!
