What You'll Learn

 

Athletic taping doesn’t have to be confusing. In this course, I’ll walk you through step-by-step techniques you can use right away.

By the end of this course, you’ll know how to:

  • Tape fingers, thumbs, and wrists for stability

  • Apply ankle support (heel locks, stirrups, and spicas)

  • Support shoulders, elbows, and knees for common injuries

  • Understand when and why to use different types of tape

  • Build trust with athletes by taping quickly and confidently

Why This Course? 

Over my years working with athletes, I noticed a big gap: people either taped “by memory” without understanding the anatomy, or they froze up because they weren’t sure what to do. This course bridges that gap.

I’ll teach you the foundational principles of taping so you know not just how to tape, but also why. That way, you can adapt these techniques for real-world situations — whether on the field, in the clinic, or at the gym.

Who is this for?

 

This course is designed for:

  • Coaches who want to keep their athletes safe during practices and games

  • Athletic trainers & PT students looking for clear, practical taping refreshers

  • Athletes who want to take charge of their own recovery and prevention

  • Parents supporting kids in sports who need a reliable taping guide

You don’t need a medical degree to benefit. All you need is a roll of tape, a little practice, and a willingness to learn.
