Life-Saving First Aid Skills

Sprint training can be physically demanding and may sometimes lead to injuries or accidents. Being qualified in first aid and CPR ensures that immediate assistance can be provided in case of any mishaps during training sessions.

Because Injuries or medical emergencies can happen unexpectedly, knowledge in first aid guarantees a higher likelihood of a quick response, which can potentially prevent a minor injury from escalating into a more serious situation.

Knowing what to do in an emergency situation instills confidence between Steve and the athletes. This confidence can help maintain a calm and composed environment during emergencies, which is crucial for effective management of the situation.

Steve believes that first aid encourages members of FAST Running to look out for each other’s safety and well-being, thereby strengthening the bond among team members. 

Ultimately, the most significant benefit of a first aid course is the potential to save lives. In critical situations, being qualified in first aid can make all the difference between life and death. Steve Dodt puts the welfare of FAST Running’s members and the broader athletics community as his number one priority.
