Memo: Athletic Training Services
To: Parents & Athletes of Douglas Freeman High School
From: Dennis W. Spurrier MS, ATC, VATL
My name is Dennis Spurrier. I work at Virginia Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy.
I am one of two Athletic Trainers working at DS Freeman HS. Barry Simon and I provide Athletic Training services to Freeman Monday- Friday during the school year.
I am at school on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Barry is at school on Tuesdays, and Thursdays. During the fall we will be at school 3:45-6:45 and at all football games. After we get everyone ready for practice, we will see new injuries, and instruct athletes in rehab.
Barry and I like to stay on top of problems relating to injuries associated with our athletes. We like to see the problems as soon as possible. This allows us to provide better and faster care, and give our athletes every chance to compete.
Feel free to call me at work or at home if you have a problem that was not addressed at school. (All athletes who sustain ANY injury should let a coach know, and come to the Athletic Training room at the appropriate time). No one should leave school with an injury without telling a coach, Barry, or myself.
One advantage we have at Freeman is I am available before school at my office. We open at 7:00AM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I am willing to look at your son/ daughter in the morning so they don’t have to wait until after school. On the days I am not at school, I am at work until 7:00PM.
Here’s hoping for a healthy season for all of our athletes.

Questions and Answers
“STAYING ON THE FIELD OR COURT”
I am asked on a regular basis “how can my son/daughter keep from getting injured this year.” There is no guarantee that an injury will not occur in athletics, but there are some simple things you can do to limit, or “head off” some of the injuries occurring at practice each day.
REMEMBER: Good rest + Good fuel = Good Practice = Less Chance of Injury

- Get enough sleep each night. You cannot “catch up” on sleep over the weekend.
- Eat a well rounded, healthy diet. Stay away from fast food, it is fried and full of fat. (Athletes have a tendency to eat well on game days, but it should be done for every practice as well).
- Hydrate during the day for practice that afternoon. The food and drink you put in your body around lunch time will be the fuel you use for practice that day.
