Petition for Review of Athletic Training Services
Petition for Review of Athletic Training Services
The Issue
We, the undersigned student-athletes, are writing to respectfully express concerns regarding the consistency and fairness of care provided by the athletic training staff. Our goal is to ensure that all athletes are supported equally and receive appropriate attention for injuries, recovery, and questions related to their health and participation.
Recently, several athletes have experienced situations that raise concern, including:
• Perceived favoritism in who receives treatment or attention.
• Athletes feeling ignored when asking questions or requesting assistance.
• Delays or lack of evaluation and care for some students compared to others.
• Communication that does not make all athletes feel acknowledged or supported.
Student-athletes depend on athletic trainers for safe participation in sports. When care feels inconsistent, it can affect not only physical health but also mental health, trust, morale, and team environment.
We are not submitting this petition to assign blame, but rather to request:
1. A review of current treatment procedures to ensure they are applied equally to all athletes.
2. Clear communication guidelines so student concerns and questions are addressed respectfully.
3. Oversight or additional support to help maintain a safe, fair, and professional environment for every team member.
4. An opportunity for athletes to share feedback in a constructive setting.
We value our athletic programs and want to represent our school with pride. Ensuring that all athletes are treated fairly will strengthen both student safety and program integrity.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned Student-Athletes
