<div>
    <p>
        Are you an industrial athlete? The answer is YES! Industrial athletes are people
        who work in manufacturing plants, light industrial facilities, and offices. As employees
        of Kennedy Space Center you are part of the industrial setting. Here at KSC your
        job and daily routines can be repetitive and vigorous leading to accidents and injuries.
        The physical nature of your job alone can make you more susceptible to musculoskeletal
        injuries.</p>
    <p>
        Just like a basketball player, football player or, volleyball player you are expected
        to perform at an optimal level of performance. When an injury occurs, an athlete
        is rehabbed and treated quickly. They are expected to return to practices and games
        in a short amount of time. To be an industrial athlete is the same concept. When
        an injury occurs you are expected to return quickly and perform your job without
        hindrance. Occupational injuries are similar to those incurred by athletes and should
        be treated the same way as well.</p>
    <p>
        Athletic training in the industrial setting is designed to return employees back
        to their pre-injury working status quickly, safely, with decreased sick/injury time,
        and with minimal time away from work. Athletic training applies the principles of
        sports medicine to the evaluation and treatment of injured workers.</p>
    <p>
        There are many advantages of being an industrial athlete.</p>
