When I first began my career as an AT-I found it hard to explain to folks like my grandparents what my job entailed. Then when watching a football game on TV with my grandfather-an athlete got injured-and I explained that I was the guy with the wicked cool fanny pack that went out to help him. ATs are there for their athletes before, during, and after an injury helping them heal and return to a high level of performance with the help of the entire Sports Medicine Team.
