From learning… to leading

Our current OPS Athletic Training Resident recently had the opportunity to step into the classroom and teach a casting lab for Manchester University MAT students

Hands-on skills like these are at the core of athletic training and our residency is designed to take that foundation to the next level. From clinical growth to leadership opportunities, our residents don’t just practice athletic training… they help shape the future of it.

All month long, we’ve had the opportunity to highlight the impact athletic trainers make every single day on the sidelines, in the clinic, and behind the scenes.

From injury prevention to emergency care to getting athletes back in the game…
ATs do it all and often without the recognition they deserve.

At OPS Athletic Training, we’re proud of the dedicated professionals who put athletes first, day in and day out. Your commitment, knowledge, and care do not go unnoticed.

March may be over, but our appreciation isn’t.

💙 Thank you to all athletic trainers for protecting what matters most.

We often hear from students athletic trainers, “I couldn’t work in the high school setting.” Let us tell you, you’re missing out. The communities that are built in the secondary school level and the amount of fun you have can’t be measured.

Take a look behind the scenes of our secondary school athletic trainers. Our athletic trainers work just as hard as they have fun and we are greatly appreciative of the care and attention they give their athletes while still showing them that they can let their guard down and enjoy their treatments.

Drop a comment below on how your high school AT impacted you!
