Athletic Training Request 

Dear Parent of Highschool Student Athlete/s:

Hello, my name is Garth Verdegaal and I am a Masters student at the California State University of Long Beach. As part of my graduate program, I am conducting research to understand the perspective and knowledge about Athletic Trainers from the point of view of Parents at the HighSchool setting.

I am recruiting parents of student athletes within the entire state of California and would greatly appreciate it if you took the time to complete the survey attached to this email. Participation in the study will take about 10 to 15 minutes and is completely voluntary.  Confidentiality of all participants will be maintained and there will be no identifiable data associated with those who choose to participate. Any questions regarding the study can be directed to me, Garth Verdegaal at garthverdegaal@gmail.com.
