On Saturday, May 6, the Buffalo Bills hosted over 100 youth football coaches at the ADPRO Sports Training Center for their annual coaching clinic which included a CPR training by the American Heart Association.
In partnership with the American Heart Association, the Western New York Amateur Football Alliance (WNYAFA) and the Bills invited youth football coaches from across WNY to participate in fundamental demonstrations and coaching techniques.
The session included showing proper blocking and tackling techniques as well as flag football demonstrations performed by local youth flag football players. At the end, coaches participated in a CPR training course conducted by American Heart Association (AHA) CPR instructors.
In addition, Bills head athletic trainer Nate Breske visited with the participants prior to the CPR Course. Breske spoke about the role and responsibilities of an athletic trainer, the importance of having an emergency action plan that includes coaches and administrators trained in CPR and AED usage while at youth sporting events.
