Paid off winning the relay race this year!!

“Once a Spartan… always part of the family.” ❤️💛

One of the greatest joys of being an Athletic Trainer is watching the students and athletes you once worked with grow into professionals in the healthcare field.

This crew right here makes me incredibly proud.

All former South Paulding Spartans… and now all part of the PT Solutions family.

From left to right:
• Hannah Traylor – former South soccer athlete, now Head PSC at the Douglasville Clinic
• Emily Coleman – former Sports Medicine student & captain, now a PT Aid at the Douglasville Clinic
• Graham Johnson– working at the Hiram Clinic while pursuing his PT degree
• Amanda Morrison – former Sports Medicine captain & soccer athlete, now Aid at the Villa Rica Clinic

And not pictured but just as important:
• Myles Baris – former South football athlete who started in Douglas and is now working in the Chicago market

Three former athletes.
Two former Sports Medicine students.
All now working in healthcare and serving others.

During National Athletic Training Month, moments like this remind me why we do what we do. Athletic Trainers don’t just care for athletes — we help inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Extra proud that these “kids” of mine chose to continue their journey with PT Solutions.

Spartan roots ➡️ Healthcare careers.

Couldn’t be prouder. 🫶

🩺 National Athletic Training Month – Care You Can Count On 🏈
March is National Athletic Training Month, and this year’s theme is “Care You Can Count On.”
At South Paulding, that care doesn’t just come from athletic trainers—it comes from our entire community. ❤️🖤
The South Paulding Sports Medicine Club is hosting a Donation Drive for gently used medical and rehab equipment that may be sitting around your house.
We are collecting items such as:
• Crutches
• Braces
• Slings
• Walking Boots
• Other rehab or medical equipment
These items help us continue to provide care our athletes can count on when injuries happen.
🧹 Spring cleaning time!
If you have equipment collecting dust at home, consider donating it so it can help another Spartan athlete.
📍 Drop Off Locations:
South Paulding High School
• Gym Training Room
• Field House Training Room
Thank you for supporting our athletes and helping our program continue to provide Care You Can Count On.
