Meet Sara Horne. 👋

Sara is Safe Sports Network’s athletic trainer at Trinity High School.

From our roots in Manchester to the communities we serve today, Safe Sports Network has continued to grow around the same belief:

Every student-athlete deserves access to professional sports medicine.

For Sara, that means bringing her clinical expertise, professionalism, and genuine care to the Trinity community—being there for athletes throughout the school year and helping make safe sports possible every day.

Seven athletic trainers. Seven school communities. One network.

And one commitment: making safe sports possible for more student-athletes.

Get to know Sara: Her pick-me-up is a Starbucks Venti Mango Dragon Fruit Refresher made with water. 🥭 💚

Meet Aaron Rice. 👋

Aaron is Safe Sports Network’s athletic trainer at Campbell High School.

He’s part of a network of athletic trainers embedded in school communities across southern New Hampshire—bringing professional sports medicine closer to the athletes who need it.

Because Safe Sports Network isn’t built around one-time events or occasional access. We believe professional sports medicine care should be part of the everyday athletic experience.

Aaron's drinks of choice: Black cold brew from Starbucks. Dunkin’ if necessary. Water always. ☕💧

Welcome to the team, Aaron!

Meet Chantal Filiau. 👋

Chantal is Safe Sports Network’s athletic trainer at Goffstown High School.

Safe Sports Network was built around a belief that still guides our work today:

Where an athlete goes to school shouldn’t determine whether they have access to professional sports medicine care.

That means bringing care into the communities where student-athletes already are—not asking families to overcome another barrier to get it.

Different schools. Different communities. Same commitment to safe sports.

Get to know Chantal: She likes a medium iced PB Mocha with cream from Aroma Joe’s. ☕

We’re glad you’re part of the team, Chantal!

Meet Dave Bailot. 👋

Dave is Safe Sports Network’s athletic trainer at Bedford High School.

Safe Sports Network started in Manchester because that’s where the need was greatest.

But access to professional sports medicine doesn't stop at the city line.

Today, that model extends beyond Manchester—including to Bedford, where Dave is part of the athletic community.

What started as a response to a need in one community grew into a network serving more student-athletes across southern New Hampshire.

Get to know Dave: he prefers Cumberland Farms iced coffee. ☕

We’re excited to have Dave on the team!

Meet Emma Heath. 👋

Emma is Safe Sports Network’s athletic trainer at Manchester Memorial High School.

Her work is part of something bigger happening across Manchester.

For decades, Safe Sports Network has worked with the Manchester School District to make professional sports medicine more accessible to student-athletes.

Emma joins Madison at Central and Haley at West as part of the team serving Manchester athletes throughout the school year.

Three schools. One community. One standard:

Student-athlete safety should be part of the athletic experience—not an exception.

Emma's drink of choice: Aroma Joe’s iced tea or Rush. 🧊

Welcome to the team, Emma!

Meet Haley Liptrap. 👋

Haley is Safe Sports Network’s athletic trainer at Manchester High School - West.

Being part of a school community means being there before an injury happens—not simply responding when something goes wrong.

It means knowing the athletes. Knowing the coaches. Knowing the environment. And being there throughout the school year as athletes practice, compete, recover and return to play.

That’s what it means to make professional sports medicine part of the athletic experience - and why Safe Sports Network needs to provide it.

Haley's drink of choice: Dunkin’ Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher with lemonade. 🍓

We’re glad to have you back, Haley!

Where it started...

Meet Madison Cote. 👋

Madison is Safe Sports Network’s athletic trainer at Manchester Central High School.

Safe Sports Network was created in Manchester with the belief that student-athletes deserved access to professional sports medicine as part of their everyday athletic experience.

Today, Madison carries that work forward at Central—she's there when athletes practice, compete, recover and need someone in their corner.

We believe access to sports medicine shouldn’t depend on what a family can afford.

It should be part of the standard.

Madison's favorite sips: Green tea from anywhere! 🍵

Welcome back, Madison!
