The XFL, a new football league set to launch in February 2020, has established a health advisory committee with a focus on improving athlete wellness across neurology, orthopedics, and mental health.
The league also named Daniel Wright, a veteran Major League Baseball athletic trainer who recently served as the head athletic trainer for the Milwaukee Brewers, as vice president of health and safety at XFL.
Wright, a member of the National Athletic Trainer’s Association for more than 30 years, will work with the health advisory committee to prepare and maintain the XFL’s health, wellness and safety policies, procedures and protocols.
