Most Valuable Athletic Trainer
It takes quick thinking and acute awareness of the
situation to get through successfully. Is the elevator
working that day? How is the ambulance reaching the
field? Does this student-athlete have any preexisting
injuries or illnesses?
These are the little details that can save necessary
minutes in a life-saving situation.
" One of my team physicians was there that day, "
Newman recalled. " He's worked in orthopedics for nearly
30 years now. And that was his first traumatic brain
injury. It ultimately comes down to practice and believing
in your plans and lives can be saved. "
LONG ON LEADERSHIP
With two decades under his belt, Newman not only
helps the student-athletes on and off the field, but he
promotes the school through national committees, awards
and recognitions.
Under the direction of Newman's
leadership, Union Public Schools
was honored as the 2014 National
Athletic Trainers' Association 1st Team
Safe Sports School for leadership in
following established healthcare safety
guidelines, utilizing, and maintaining
proper equipment, and providing
appropriate medical personnel for
student-athletes. At that time it was
one of the first times, if not the very
first, an Oklahoma school received this
recognition. Union has consecutively
been recognized as a 1st Team Safe
Sports School honoree from 2014 to
the present time.

He's also an integral part of the Oklahoma Athletic
Director's conference, where he's been regularly invited
to present various topics relative to sports medicine
best practices for high school athletic directors who
either have access to athletic trainers or do not due to
financial strains.
" Dan has been able to connect our state's athletic
directors with resources that they might have otherwise
not known about, " said Emily Barkley, director of athletics
for Union Public Schools. " Dan is generous with his time
and talents and is honored to share his knowledge with
those in need. "
" Being here so long, it's the servant leadership that I
enjoy, " Newman said. " It's that mentoring aspect. I'm able
to create policies, help student-athletes, and help our
staff. Our profession is very valuable. It's not just
a luxury. " n
