The Los Angeles Kings just posted their Head Athletic Trainer position.

$200,000 – $230,000.

It is genuinely refreshing to see a professional sports organization post what a role like this actually pays. This is a clinical Head AT position — managing the daily health and medical operations of an NHL roster. And now candidates know exactly what it’s worth to the Kings before they ever submit an application.

California requires salary disclosure on job postings, so the Kings didn’t have a choice. But that’s exactly the point. When organizations are required to show their hand, this is what the top of the market actually looks like. $200,000 to $230,000. Bonus eligible. 401(k) with employer match. Eight years of experience required.

For context — the highest ceiling we have tracked on this board was a combined Head AT and Healthcare Administrator director role at Keck Medicine of USC at $240,240. The Kings posting is purely clinical. No director title attached. Just the job.

Imagine how many professional sports AT postings would look different if every state required the same thing.

This week’s Athletic Trainer Finder job board also includes:

💰 $68,848–$127,942 — AT, Loudoun County Public Schools, VA
💰 $75,462–$92,810 — Head AT, Alexandria City Public Schools, VA
💰 $80,000–$90,000 — Injury Prevention Consultant, Onsite Ergonomics, Portland OR
💰 $59,882–$83,689 — AT, Temple ISD, TX (no state income tax)
💰 $54,872–$82,340 — AT, Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, Norfolk VA

At the other end of the board — an orthopaedic group in Maryland posted a role this week listing a BOC-certified athletic trainer and a medical assistant as interchangeable credentials at the same pay rate.

The ceiling and the floor of this profession showed up in the same week.

It's Memorial Day. If you’re working today, we see you.

109 new athletic trainer jobs on the board this week. Here’s what stood out.

The PWHL posted three expansion franchises with transparent salaries in three consecutive weeks.

Detroit. Las Vegas. Now San Jose.

PWHL San Jose Head AT: $95,000–$105,000.
PWHL San Jose Assistant AT: $70,000–$78,000.

Three weeks. Three franchises. Real numbers every time. The league is building something and telling candidates what it pays. That is not always the norm in professional sports.

Amazon also posted an Injury Prevention Specialist in Jacksonville, FL at $60,200–$90,200 with sign-on payments and restricted stock units. RSUs in an AT job description. Think about that.

And the most overlooked role of the week:

Liberal USD 480 in Liberal, KS — dual AT and CTE Instructor, 15 sports, ~400 athletes, $71,619–$102,093 ceiling. In a market well below the national average on cost of living. Getting scrolled past because of the zip code.

Also this week — we launched "In the Seat," an interview-style feature where employers tell the story behind their posting. The first one is with Brattleboro Union High School. Job seekers deserve more than bullet points.

The AT Compact is one state away from going live.

Six states have enacted the model legislation. Alabama, South Dakota, Kansas, Kentucky, Virginia, and Nebraska — the last one signed by Governor Pillen on April 14.

New Jersey introduced its bill this past week. Roughly ten more states have legislation actively advancing.

The seventh enactment is coming. When it does, the compact becomes effective October 1, 2026. That means licensed ATs in member states will be able to practice across borders without re-credentialing in each new state.

This is a structural shift the profession has been asking for. And it is closer than most people realize.

More on the legislative momentum at the end of this week’s newsletter.

123 new athletic trainer jobs came on the Athletic Trainer Finder job board this week. Some highlights:

💰 $46–$60/hr — Head AT, Wilberforce University via Go4, OH

💰 $55,660–$126,957 — AT/Sports Medicine Teacher, Stafford County Public Schools, VA

💰 $88,000–$95,000 — Head AT, PWHL Detroit

💰 $60,990–$114,955 — CTE Teacher & AT, Selah School District, WA

💰 $87,360 — AT, Masconomet Regional SD, MA

💰 $78,166–$96,138 — AT, State Center Community College District, CA

💰 $72,000–$82,000 — Assistant AT, Providence College, Providence RI

Not every week has a $240,000 salary or an NFL spotter role. This week was quieter. 121 jobs on this week's Athletic Trainer Finder weekly newsletter and job board. There were two postings that subscribers flagged and I went back for a harder look.

The first: A D-I Director of Sports Medicine reposted this week after sitting open for a month. Same job. Same salary. The market already answered. They reposted anyway.

The second: A Vermont hospital posted a BOC-certified AT role at $22–$26/hr. The Medical Assistant at the same clinic tops out at $28.52. Same building. Same surgeons. The MA needs a high school diploma. Vermont is just where this one happened.

Both are in the Worth Calling Out section at the end.

💰 $89,731–$120,245 — AT, Los Gatos-Saratoga HSD, Silicon Valley CA
💰 $46,665–$99,362 + PERS pension — AT, North Wasco County SD, The Dalles OR
💰 $55,000–$88,608 + $10K sign-on — AT, Elmira NY
💰 $74,700–$85,000 — AT, UC Berkeley CA
💰 $57,800 flat — AT Resident, The Steadman Clinic, Vail CO
💰 $40/hr + housing + meals — Wellness Director, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, MA

Also this week — NATA responded to Ipswich. For once it didn’t sound like the usual talking points. My take is at the end of the newsletter.

2,000+ subscribers.

When I started Athletic Trainer Finder, I wasn’t sure anyone would pay attention or notice. Just under 4 months later, 2,000+ of you proved otherwise. Thank you! We are just getting started!

Now let’s talk about what’s on the board.

The Cleveland Browns posted an Athletic Trainer Spotter role this week. $125 an hour. Home games only. NFL concussion protocol oversight from the video booth. Most ATs have no idea this job exists.

A TBI Diagnostic Center in Federal Way, WA is hiring an AT to diagnose traumatic brain injuries using laser eye tracking and QEEG technology. No experience required. $80,000–$85,000. Monday through Friday. I had never seen a role like this before this week.

And UC Davis posted an Assistant Athletics Director for Sports Medicine budgeted at $75,000–$90,000. In California. Where a one-bedroom in Davis runs $1,400 a month. Moving into administration in a high-cost state doesn’t always pay the way people think it does.

That’s three conversations most job boards won’t have with you.

On the board this week we also have:

💰 $73,205–$124,570 — AT, Fairfax County Public Schools, VA

💰 $69,600–$124,200 — AT3, UC Davis, CA

💰 $57,408–$99,840 — AT, Tesla Ergonomics Team, Fremont CA

💰 $80,000–$90,000 — Head AT, Marin Catholic, Kentfield CA

💰 $65,000–$80,000 — Head AT, Carthage College, Kenosha WI

💰 $65,000 flat — Injury Prevention, Biokinetix, Montgomery AL

Plus my take on the growing mental health role in the training room and the credentials available to you right now.

A lacrosse scrimmage in Ipswich, MA ended in a serious injury. No athletic trainer was on site. No athletic director. A failed response.

Within days, the school's longtime athletic trainer resigned amidst the negativity surrounding the incident.

The district's response? Repost the job. Part-time.

That story — and my take on how it was covered — is in this week's Athletic Trainer Finder weekly newsletter.

109 new athletic trainer jobs this week in the Athletic Trainer Finder weekly newsletter and job board. Secondary schools showed up strong, but the numbers need context.
