Athletes Saving Athletes

Tommy and Beth Mallon understand the importance of having a certified athletic trainer on-site at all times during athletic activities – they credit CATA member Riki Kirchhoff with saving Tommy’s life after a benign-looking hit during a lacrosse game sent Tommy to the ground. Now, the mother-son duo have started a national program called Athletes Saving Athletes which teaches student athletes basic life-saving skills that could be used to help their friends out on the field.
