I know that most of my page is filled with training content but what you might not know about me, is that I’m a Certified Athletic Therapist.
And this month is National Athletic Therapy Month.
Athletic Therapists are a vital part of the healthcare team for athletes.
We’re more than the people taping ankles, filling water bottles, changing skate blades, or running onto the field when someone gets hurt.
We are the professionals who monitor an athlete’s health throughout the season, guide their recovery through injury, advocate for their safety, collaborate with other healthcare providers, and are often the first person at their side when an emergency happens.
But beyond the injuries and emergencies, we are also trusted confidants. We celebrate the wins, help navigate the losses, support athletes through difficult moments, and build relationships that often last far beyond a single season.
One of the most rewarding parts of being an Athletic Therapist is having the opportunity to walk alongside an athlete through every stage of their recovery. From the moment an injury happens to the day they get back to the game, we get a front-row seat to their resilience, growth, and determination.
I am incredibly grateful for the Athletic Therapists who have mentored, supported, and inspired me throughout my career. And I am equally grateful to every athlete who has trusted me with their health, their recovery, and their journey.
Thank you for allowing us to do what we love.
Now make sure you go tell your AT how much you appreciate them because we sure as heck appreciate you.
