An average of three high school students suffer cardiac arrest every day in the United States. That's according to the National Athletic Trainers Association, which is advocating for a bill to regulate certified trainers. Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest mid-game last month brought to attention the vital role of an athletic trainer. In Hamlin's case, a certified trainer was nearby, along with a defibrillator and played a crucial role in his survival.
