From the
SAYSO Trainer's Manual
Typical Injuries, Aches, and Growing Pains
The term "trainer" has two different meanings in
sports. A 'team trainer' or 'private trainer' is someone who
helps you improve in the sport. However, 'THE trainer' refers to a team's
medical/first-aid staff member. Thus, 'my trainer' and 'the trainer' refer
to two different people. Usually, the correct interpretation can easily be
made by context. When a player is limping, "Go see the trainer" is
understood by everyone.
