Life as an Athletic Trainer: National Athletic Training Month 2022



 

It is March 2022, and it is National Athletic Training Month. Last year we did an episode with 3 athletic trainers with whom I’ve crossed paths and enjoyed it so much I wanted to do that again. Today on the podcast, I am joined by three athletic trainers who have all played a role in my life in my development as a sports medicine physician. I’ve learned from them, and I hope you will all learn a little about them and from them as well. Time to dive into the world of athletic training!
