NATM Blog | Why I Love Being an Athletic Trainer

Being an Athletic Trainer, is a true "Jack of all trades" profession. There is a lot of different things we can do in one shift. Which is one thing that truly helps keep every work-day new and exciting to walk into the athletic training room. Its pretty rare for two days to feel very routine. Whether you are doing an evaluation, taping, rehab, first aid, having to re-explain the pain scale because they can calmly rate their pain at a 9/10 or sometimes explaining for the 10th time why they can not currently play in their condition (you know who you are).  This career provides the opportunity to always do something new each day and learn something new.
