“Football players should avoid spatting, which is using athletic tape on the outside of their shoe because if they were injured in a game it’s going to be a lot more cost efficient or an issue with time when trying to get the injury because you can’t really evaluate an injury with a shoe on so it’s going to cost us time in an emergency that could be detrimental,” said WCHS athletic trainer Adriana Ramirez. Players on the varsity football team received news from WCHS’ athletic trainer, Adriana Ramirez, that they will no longer be allowed to spat, leaving athletes to wonder why. “The chances of you getting hurt with taped ankles goes up about 5% to 10%,” said Varsity Football Coach Mike Maggiore.
Although it helps to prevent injuries, it will also make knees a key point for injury. If taped correctly, the tape will come off with a tool that athletic trainers use known as a “shark” that is meant for cutting fabric and tape. Feel good, play good.” Athletes tend to perform better when they feel good mentally. As former NFL legend Deion Sanders says, “If you look good, you feel good. Most football players wear black cleats and with mostly white socks so it looks better when the white tape covers as much of the black cleats as possible. Athletes on the football team have started “spatting”, which is the process of using white tape to tape ankles in order to help prevent sprains, twists, and breaks.
