Supporting the Health and Performance of Our Student-Athletes

At Bullis, we are committed to keeping our student-athletes healthy, safe, and performing at their best. Our Sports Medicine team provides expert care, injury prevention, and education to support every athlete—from practice to competition.

Our Athletic Trainers

Athletic Trainers are healthcare professionals who keep athletes safe, prevent injuries, and guide recovery. They provide on-field care, design rehab programs, and work with coaches and medical staff to help athletes perform at their best—safely and confidently.

We aim to foster a culture of safety, wellness, and peak performance. Our athletic trainers work to:

  • Prevent injuries through education and conditioning

  • Provide immediate and expert care for sports-related injuries

  • Guide safe rehabilitation and return-to-play

  • Educate athletes, families, and coaches on best practices for health and wellness
