Athletic trainers are arguably the most under-recognized members of a sports team. They pour into athletes by not only refining their physical capabilities, but also by offering emotional support through their respective journeys in athletics and in life.
Many people forget that the job of an athletic trainer extends beyond taping ankles. Along with physical rehabilitation, the time an athletic trainer spends with their athletes creates deeply personal connections that extend far beyond a patient-provider relationship.
Needless to say, athletic trainers have a huge responsibility to help athletes that goes beyond physical rehabilitation training.
