About Mr. Amicucci
Joe Amicucci MS LAT ATC CSCS
Athletic Trainer
​
As a certified athletic trainer in the secondary school setting, I provide injury preventative services, emergency care, injury evaluation and rehabilitation for injured student-athletes. In other words, I am a health care professional trained to use evidence-based medicine to determine if an SRHS athlete is prepared to compete. I also serve as an educational resource for the Blue Devil community on topics such as strength training, aerobic/anaerobic conditioning, and sports nutrition. My mission is to preserve the health and safety of each student-athlete using the best practices and knowledge in order to contribute to their successes on and off the field.
