About the Author
Daniel D. Arnheim
Our longtime author and friend, Daniel D. Arnheim, passed away April 11, 2000. Dr. Arnheim authored numerous textbooks in athletic training including Essentials of Athletic Training, as well as in elementary physical education, motor development, and adapted physical education. Among his most recognizable titles is Principles of Athletic Training, which is used by most students going into the field of athletic training.
Dr. Arnheim wrote the first edition of Principles of Athletic Training more than 30 years ago when there were no textbooks nor teaching aids available. Seeing the need to create such a text, early editions were coauthored by Carl E. Klafs, Ph.D., and more recently by William E. Prentice, Ph.D., at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who now has complete authorship of the book. Now in its 11th edition, and often referred to as the "bible" of athletic training, Principles of Athletic Training has consistently dominated the market. It has evolved into a practical and prevention-oriented text and reference for athletic training and sports medicine. A subsequent need was identified for a text written for those students needing basic information, but not pursuing athletic training as a career. Essentials of Athletic Training also coauthored by William E. Prentice, Ph.D., became that text for those students pursuing a career as a coach, fitness professional, or physical educator.
Today, Dr. Arnheim is a legend among men and women who call themselves athletic trainers. For nearly 40 years, anyone who has taken an athletic training course has used one of his textbooks at one time or another. Any of the athletic trainers in the United States as well as throughout the world will recognize his name. He always focused on the needs of students and instructors who would use his books. He cared very much about the professional growth of students, as they hold the keys to the future of his chosen professions - education and athletic training. Dr. Arnheim touched the lives of the thousands of students and athletic trainers through the words in his books, and helped to shape the growth and the direction of athletic training as a profession. His impact as an athletic training educator will be missed.
