  • What do NFL athletic trainers do? You see them run onto the field when a player gets injured, but most of their work happens behind the scenes. In this episode of Gaining Greatness presented by Sleep Number, we pull back the curtain on the hard work and dedication it takes to keep NFL athletes healthy and performing at their best.

      Better shoot for the pro level because any level below that, the pay is terrible (unless you use your degree for a completely different job 😂). Money isn’t everything, but ATCs are highly disrespected in the medical community. Just sayin!

      samee. I'm a sophomore and I just applied for the atheist training program. I'm really excited because I genuinely love sports. And I really hope this works out for me, especially in in the future. I really want to make it and get the feels of professional/elite level sports like NFL, NBA, etc.

    Is there any way to get ahold of any trainer with the L.A Rams? I would greatly appreciate it. I am a new person possibly going after the field in being a Athletic Trainer/Sports Physical Therapist/Sports And fitness Administrator. I think that's the last one that I'm trying to be. I need some guidance by all means. Until I make it to my destination.

    My dream is to be an athletic trainer in the NFL.
    I am currently studying a degree in physical therapy in Spain and I want to do a master's degree in athletic training in the United States. Do you know how to obtain a scholarship and how to obtain a physical therapy degree?
    Thank you so much.

      @coryjohnson2486 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s VERY difficult to land a job like that. You MUST have a Masters degree to even have a chance, and then you have to know somebody that knows somebody just to even get a chance of working at the pro level. If you are EXTREMELY determined to do it, it’s definitely possible… it just isn’t easy.

    Athletic Trainers are completely underpaid and underappreciated. ATCs have a VAST knowledge of injury prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation with LONG clinical hour requirements of hands-on education. I left the field a couple years ago because the pay is TERRIBLE unless you have a pro sports job. The hours are terribly long as well. It’s pretty sad when a PTA (Physical Therapist Assistant) often makes more money with an associates’ degree than an ATC with a Masters 😳.

      @@status7505 I would say an ATC’s training is a LOT better (and more thorough) than a PTA’s, yet they don’t make quite as much money. I’m not trying to deter you from pursing AT as a career, but be prepared for LONG hours and not the best pay. I’m not saying that being a PTA is necessarily better, but you won’t have to go into nearly as much debt to become a PTA, and your pay will be better (in most cases). You should just do a TON of research on the differences between the 2 and draw your own conclusion.
