The technique of acupuncture / dry needling should remain to the licensed medical experts who have spent four years training to use the techniques ( licensed acupuncturists). Athletics trainers don’t have enough training and not qualified for this special technique, they will hurt their clients if they are given access to dry needling as well as hurt the field of acupuncture
