ODU Medical Team working selflessly each year to help the student athletes achieve their goals. Proud of this group; Athletic Trainers, Physicians, Paramedics, AT Students and all others this year who were part of this group who helped our student athletes this year. #ReignOn
Here’s how you can support athletic trainers and show appreciation for everything they do:
1. Say Thank You – A simple “thank you” goes a long way. Take time to recognize the athletic trainers in your life.
2. Spread Awareness – Share posts, stories, and facts about what athletic trainers do to help educate others.
3. Advocate for AT Coverage – Support policies and initiatives that ensure schools, teams, and workplaces have access to qualified athletic trainers.
4. Recognize Their Expertise – Remember, athletic trainers are healthcare professionals, not just “trainers.” They are educated, certified, and crucial to injury prevention and recovery.
5. Support Safe Sports – Advocate for proper safety protocols and resources for athletic trainers at all levels of play, from youth leagues to professional teams.
6. Celebrate Their Work – Nominate an athletic trainer for an award, write a note of appreciation, or even just bring them a coffee to say thanks!
Athletic trainers do so much to keep athletes healthy and active — let’s show up for them this month.

It’s always good to see our students create boards like this in our athletic training room!!! Promoting healthcare is all part of National Athletic Training Month! Have you thanked an Athletic Trainer Today? #NationalAthleticTrainingMonth#NATM2025
National Athletic Training Month. As I reflect this month of being a certified athletic trainer I think of how this profession has made me who I am today. One day at a time, being ready for what is next each moment, and always keeping a positive attitude. #natm2025#NATA
