About Athletic Training
Athletic trainers (ATs) are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who render service or treatment, under the direction of or in collaboration with a physician, in accordance with their education, training and the state's statutes, rules and regulations. As a part of the health care team, services provided by athletic trainers include primary care, injury and illness prevention, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination and clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.
Athletic Trainers go through an rigorous academic curriculum combined with clinical training following the medical model. Athletics Trainers MUST graduate from a masters level accredited program and sit for a national certification exam. In 49 states and the District of Columbia athletic trainers also must obtain a license in that state to practice.

Anna Casaleggi, ATC, LAT, PN1, ITAT |
Anna is the athletic trainer at Waterloo high school. She works with us through ATI Physical Therapy and has been here since the 2015-2016 school year. Before then she was splitting her time between teaching middle school and doing athletic training. Anna has experience in athletic training at the high school, collegiate, and professional level yet LOVES high school the best. She has also pursued additional certifications in nutrition and Impact testing/concussion specialty. In her free time she volunteers with Fellowship of Christian Athletes and serves as the huddle coach here at Waterloo, enjoys time with her family, is entertained by the shenanigans of her dog Buddy, and usually is found listening to music and enjoying great food on her few nights off.
