    To provide appropriate medical care for secondary school athletes, athletic trainers should educate athletes on nutrition, hydration, dietary supplementation. Vitamin D is an important factor in the overall health of athletes. Vitamin D deficiency is common, especially among ethnically diverse athletes. Increasing knowledge on Vitamin D deficiency and sufficiency can help athletic trainers educate athletes on the significance of Vitamin D with injury prevention and athletic performance.
