People always ask why I got into this profession. This is a perfect example of my why. We have an amazing AT staff at WSSU. I tell all our recruits/parents when their child comes to WSSU they become my child. I love my kids. I love my job.
"Go where you're appreciated," is not the right piece of advice anymore. You can be appreciated by an entire community, but if it doesn't pay the bills and costs you your mental health, it's not the right place.
The company I work for is looking to hire Athletic Trainer’s interested in the industrial setting in the following locations:
-Madison, NE
-Enid, OK
-West Chester, OH (Cinci. area)
-Beaumont, TX
-Hodge, LA
-Plymouth/Knox, IN
-Storm Lake, IA
-Springfield/Devens, MA
-Holcomb, KS
There is absolutely no one more dangerous to the AT profession than the Manager/Outreach Coordinator that's an AT that is out of touch with the profession AND will offer you 45k a year and a medbridge subscription like they are doing you a favor.
Last week I presented on Youth Baseball Warmups & Arm Care at the Athlete Accelerate Youth Virtual Summit. For those interested in how to properly warmup before practice/game and what to do after practice / game for arm care here’s an 18 min video of the presentation.

16 football players will die this year per the averages: 4 TBI, 1 PE, 5 cardiac, 3 EHS, and 3 to other cause(s). Nonfatal catastrophic injury: 14 c-spine, 12 TBI and 5 internal organ. Decades of data tell the tale. Up to 9 already dead and the games have not yet begun.
A high school athlete collapsed & died.
Eight days later, five more high school football players, in five different states, collapsed & died in just three days.
It's the worst stretch of sudden death in sports. And we know how to fix it.#SaferSideilnes

I often see lower salaries justified by "low cost of living area." Whatever that means. But maybe housing is cheaper. Maybe you don't use as much in utilities. You know what costs don't change? Car payment. Student loans. Those are all more "fixed" expenses regardless of location
