Case Study 1:
You are Tim’s high school baseball coach. At the pre-season physicals, you notice that he has
really bulked up over the summer. While visiting with him, he explains to you how he spent
most of his summer in the weight room. He wants this year, his senior year, to be his best season
ever.
Later in the season, Tim begins to start complaining of shoulder pain. He attempts to show you
his shoulder. You notice he is covered in acne on his back. You don’t remember him having
acne before. When you question him about it, he says it started over the summer. He just
figured it was due to all the sweating he did while working out. You send him to the athletic
trainer for further evaluation.
A few days later, while completing some warm up exercises with his teammates, Tim gets into a
fight with another player. You’ve never seen Tim act this way. He has always been a very mild
mannered young man. You start to worry about Tim and what might be going on with him.
Case Study 1 Questions:
1. Given his clinical presentation over the course of the semester, what do you think might be
influencing Tim’s behavior? What signs cause you to suspect this?
2. In a state of your choosing, find the secondary schools athletic association’s policies and
procedures that manage this type of situation. Summarize the policies and procedures. You will
also need to provide the policies and procedures with your submission.
3. Find a national organizations position statement or guidelines that manage this scenario.
Summarize the guidelines. Explain why you chose this organization. You will need to provide a
copy of the guideline or position statement with your submission.
4. What are the next steps you will take? How do you address this situation with Tim?
Case Study 2:
You are Tiffany’s basketball coach. Tiffany, a 16 year old Black female basketball athlete faints
during conditioning drills outside on the track. She had been complaining throughout the drills,
but this was natural for Tiffany. She is conscious now and complains of dizziness, chest pains,
and shortness of breath.
The athletic trainer comes to your assistance and finds the following upon physical examination:
pulse if 98, weak, and irregular; blood pressure is 150/80; respirations are 24, rapid, shallow, and
labored.
As you and the athletic trainer question her further, Tiffany tells you that she fainted once before
when she was in middle school. She said it happened during basketball practice. Her mother
took her to the doctor, but he didn’t find anything wrong with her.
Case Study 2 Questions:
1. Based on Tiffany’s complaints and the ATC’s physical examination, what conditions could
possibly be causing her symptoms? Why do you suspect this?
2. What steps should be taken to manage Tiffany’s condition (acutely and with future
activities)?
3. What are the potential risks for Tiffany?
4. Choose an organization (i.e. NCAA, secondary school athletic association). Find this
organizations guidance or position statement regarding this condition. Summarize the guidance
document and provide the document with your submission.
