We’re glad to see these conversations happening. On-field emergencies require clear communication and understanding of team roles. Athletic trainers are highly trained healthcare providers who need a safe path to deliver care and deserve respect as they work to protect athletes.

This, @DukeFOOTBALL can’t happen. Check out the 7-9 second mark where the female athletic trainer tries to get the player hovering to move so she can help and he swings his arm at her. He needs to listen to her and know where he should be. If not where is the line?

Some of the most impactful AT advocacy happens when legislators are back home in their districts. Thank you, @RepGabeVasquez, for taking time to connect with incoming @NATA1950 President David Gallegos! @crucesaggie

Walking the halls of Congress advocating for the athletic trainers who work alongside our nation’s warfighters. Our service members deserve the absolute best care—& tactical ATs are force multipliers who help keep them healthy, resilient, and mission ready. 🇺🇸 @NATA1950

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.? Because we gave them that L in 1776.
