BRSC SPORTS MEDICINE OVERVIEW

Thanks to a unique partnership with our healthcare partners, Baton Rouge Orthopaedic Clinic and Our Lady of the Lake Health System, BRSC can provide quality, on-site care for players in need of medical treatments and assessments for injuries sustained during play. BRSC's certified athletic trainers, employed through the BROC Foundation, Inc., are available to treat and assess injuries suffered during games, coordinate doctor appointments, set up referrals, and assist with the scheduling of surgeries. As part of the partnership, BRSC members will receive priority appointments with our healthcare partners.

In addition to treating injuries, BRSC athletic trainers, Riley Proffer and Scott Arceneaux, will also provide education to BRSC members, coaches, and staff regarding concussions, injury prevention, and proper nutrition. The athletic trainers will also attend practices, games, and tournaments held by BRSC as outlined below in the Program Services chart.

"Through this program, our goal is twofold. For injured players, we want to help BRSC with on-site treatment to stabilize a significant injury and then ensure the player gets the next level of care as quickly as possible," said Trey Williamson, CEO of Baton Rouge Orthopaedic Clinic.

Mr. Williamson added that the second goal is to help BRSC staff, coaches, parents, and players learn the steps to take through nutrition, training, and injury-prevention techniques that lessen the chances of an injury occurring.

RILEY PROFFER - BRSC ATHLETIC TRAINER

BRSC Introduces Athletic Trainer Riley Proffer

Riley grew up in Indianapolis. He spent most of his life playing a variety of sports with his primary sport being basketball. Riley eventually moved to Bloomington, IN to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training at Indiana University. It is through this experience that he gained an abundance of experience with a vast array of different athletic training settings. He spent his senior year working with the IU Women’s Soccer program. This is where he first discovered his interest in working as a soccer athletic trainer.

Once graduating, he continued to diversify his skillset by working as an athletic trainer in a physical therapy clinic and with local high schools in Indianapolis for a year. At the conclusion of that year, he moved to Gainesville, FL to pursue a Doctor of Athletic Training degree at the University of Florida. Throughout this experience he had residencies as an outreach AT to local high schools and a junior college, with the University of Florida Department of Recreational Sports, working closely with the university club sports teams, and the university Navy/Marine reserve officer training corps. In addition to his involvement with BRSC, Riley is active in his alumni associations and in athletic training organizations at the state, regional, and national level.
