Quick Facts: Athletic Trainers

Athletic trainers specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating muscle and bone injuries and illnesses.

Many athletic trainers work in educational settings, such as colleges, universities, elementary schools, and secondary schools. Others work in hospitals, fitness centers, or physicians' offices, or for professional sports teams.

Athletic trainers typically need at least a bachelor's degree, and master's degrees are common. Nearly all states require athletic trainers to have a license or certification; requirements vary by state.

The median annual wage for athletic trainers was $49,860 in May 2020.

Employment of athletic trainers is projected to grow 23 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations.

About 3,100 openings for athletic trainers are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.

Explore resources for employment and wages by state and area for athletic trainers.

Compare the job duties, education, job growth, and pay of athletic trainers with similar occupations.

Learn more about athletic trainers by visiting additional resources, including O*NET, a source on key characteristics of workers and occupations.

Athletic trainers specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating muscle and bone injuries and illnesses.

Duties

Athletic trainers typically do the following:

Apply protective or injury-preventive devices, such as tape, bandages, and braces

Recognize and evaluate injuries

Provide first aid or emergency care

Develop and carry out rehabilitation programs for injured athletes

Plan and implement comprehensive programs to prevent injury and illness among athletes

Perform administrative tasks, such as keeping records and writing reports on injuries and treatment programs

Athletic trainers work with people of all ages and all skill levels, from young children to soldiers and professional athletes. Athletic trainers are usually one of the first healthcare providers on the scene when injuries occur on the field. They work under the direction of a licensed physician and with other healthcare providers, often discussing specific injuries and treatment options or evaluating and treating patients, as directed by a physician. Some athletic trainers meet with a team physician or consulting physician regularly.

An athletic trainer's administrative responsibilities may include regular meetings with an athletic director or another administrative officer to deal with budgets, purchasing, policy implementation, and other business-related issues. Athletic trainers plan athletic programs that are compliant with federal and state regulations; for example, they may ensure a football program adheres to laws related to athlete concussions.

Athletic trainers should not be confused with fitness trainers and instructors, which include personal trainers.

Athletic trainers held about 30,000 jobs in 2020. The largest employers of athletic trainers were as follows:

Educational services; state, local, and private

38%

Hospitals; state, local, and private

20

Offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists, and audiologists

14

Fitness and recreational sports centers

5

Self-employed workers

3

Athletic trainers also may work with military, with law enforcement, with professional sports teams, or with performing artists.

Athletic trainers may spend their time working outdoors on sports fields in all types of weather.

Work Schedules

Most athletic trainers work full time. Athletic trainers who work with teams during sporting events may work evenings or weekends and travel often.

Athletic trainers typically need at least a bachelor's degree, and master's degrees are common. Nearly all states require athletic trainers to have a license or certification; requirements vary by state.

Education

To enter the occupation, athletic trainers typically need a degree from a program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Although some jobs are available for workers with a bachelor's degree, many athletic trainers have a master's degree.

Admission into athletic trainer master's programs generally requires a bachelor's degree with completion of coursework in science and health. Master's degree programs have classroom and clinical components and include instruction in areas such as injury prevention, therapeutic modalities, and nutrition.

High school students interested in postsecondary athletic training programs should take courses in anatomy, physiology, and physics.

Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations

Nearly all states require athletic trainers to be licensed or certified; requirements vary by state. For specific requirements, contact the particular state's licensing board.

The Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer (BOC) offers the standard certification examination that most states use for licensing athletic trainers. Certification requires graduating from a CAATE-accredited program and passing the BOC exam. To maintain certification, athletic trainers must adhere to the BOC Standards of Professional Practice and take continuing education courses.

Important Qualities

Compassion. Athletic trainers work with athletes and patients who may be in considerable pain or discomfort. The trainers must be sympathetic while providing treatments.

Decisionmaking skills. Athletic trainers must make informed clinical decisions that could affect the health or livelihood of patients.

Detail oriented. Athletic trainers must record patients' progress accurately and ensure that they are receiving the appropriate treatments or practicing the correct fitness regimen.

Interpersonal skills. Athletic trainers must have strong interpersonal skills in order to manage difficult situations. They must communicate well with others, including physicians, patients, athletes, coaches, and parents.

Advancement

Assistant athletic trainers may become head athletic trainers, athletic directors, or physician, hospital, or clinic practice administrators. In any of these positions, they will assume a management role. Athletic trainers working in colleges and universities may pursue an advanced degree to increase their advancement opportunities.

Median annual wages, May 2020

The median annual wage for athletic trainers was $49,860 in May 2020. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $32,980, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $75,810.

In May 2020, the median annual wages for athletic trainers in the top industries in which they worked were as follows:

Educational services; state, local, and private

$54,140

Hospitals; state, local, and private

49,030

Fitness and recreational sports centers

46,970

Offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists, and audiologists

46,410

Most athletic trainers work full time. Athletic trainers who work with teams during sporting events may work evenings or weekends and travel often.

Employment of athletic trainers is projected to grow 23 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations.

About 3,100 openings for athletic trainers are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.

Employment

Some of the projected employment growth in this occupation is due to recovery from the COVID-19 recession that began in 2020.

Sports programs at all ages and for all experience levels will continue to create demand for athletic trainers. Concussions are dangerous at any age, but their effects may be particularly severe and long lasting in children, whose brains are still developing. Because athletic trainers are usually onsite and are often the first responders when injuries occur, some states require public secondary schools to employ athletic trainers as part of their sports programs. The demand for trainers in schools should continue to increase as people become more aware of the effects of sports-related injuries.

Growing numbers of middle-aged and older people are remaining physically active. Their continued activity will likely lead to an increase in athletic-related injuries, such as sprains. Athletic trainers will be needed to provide sophisticated treatments in injury prevention and detection.

Many employers and insurers rely on athletic trainers to help contain costs associated with worker injuries, especially for those who risk injury on the job. For example, athletic trainers may help to rehabilitate injured military personnel. These trainers also create programs aimed at reducing injury rates. Depending on the state, some insurance companies recognize athletic trainers as healthcare providers and reimburse the cost of an athletic trainer's services.

Information on what it takes to become a physical therapist.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Physical therapists are movement experts who improve quality of life through prescribed exercise, hands-on care, and patient education.

Physical therapists diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to people at the end of life. Many patients have injuries, disabilities, or other health conditions that need treatment. But PTs also care for people who simply want to become healthier and to prevent future problems.

Physical therapists examine each person and then develops a treatment plan to improve their ability to move, reduce or manage pain, restore function, and prevent disability.

Physical therapists can have a profound effect on people's lives. They help people achieve fitness goals, regain or maintain their independence, and lead active lives.

Visit ChoosePT.com, APTA's official consumer information website, to learn more about the benefits of physical therapy.

Where Physical Therapists Work

Physical therapists practice in a wide range of settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, people's homes, schools, sports and fitness facilities, workplaces, and nursing homes.

How Much Physical Therapists Earn

The median salary for a physical therapist is $85,000. Salaries vary based on position, years of experience, degree of education, geographic location, and practice setting.

Demand for physical therapists varies by geographical region and area of practice, but PT unemployment rates are typically low across the country. The need for physical therapists is expected to remain strong as the United States population ages and the demand for physical therapist services grows.

Physical Therapist Education and Licensure

To practice as a physical therapist in the U.S., you must earn a doctor of physical therapy degree from a Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education-accredited physical therapist education program and pass a state licensure exam.

The length of professional DPT programs is typically three years. Primary content areas in the curriculum may include, but are not limited to, biology/anatomy, cellular histology, physiology, exercise physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology, neuroscience, pharmacology, pathology, behavioral sciences, communication, ethics/values, management sciences, finance, sociology, clinical reasoning, evidence-based practice, cardiovascular and pulmonary, endocrine and metabolic, and musculoskeletal.

Approximately 80% of the DPT curriculum is classroom (didactic) and lab study and the remaining 20% is dedicated to clinical education. PT students spend on average 27.5 weeks in their final clinical experience.

If you are an internationally educated PT or PTA, please read more information on internationally educated PTs and PTAs.

Getting Into a DPT Program

Most DPT programs require applicants to earn a bachelor's degree prior to admission. Other programs offer a 3+3 curricular format in which three years of specific preprofessional (undergraduate/pre-PT) courses must be taken before the student can advance into a three-year professional DPT program.

A few programs offer freshman entry, recruiting students directly from high school into a guaranteed admissions program. High school students accepted into these programs can automatically advance into the professional phase of the DPT program, pending the completion of specific undergraduate courses and any other stated contingencies, e.g., minimum GPA.

The list of programs at PTCAS includes requirements for each programs.
Find a DPT Program
Choosing the Right Program

APTA does not rank DPT education programs. Programs are accredited by CAPTE, which assures quality in physical therapist education. Among the factors you should keep in mind when choosing your program:

Cost and financial aid opportunities. Most DPT students graduate with student loans. Make sure you are financially aware and prepared. Programs offer different student experiences and have different costs.

Program length. The traditional DPT program is three years, but some programs compress academic requirements into a shorter time span, which could help you manage the total cost of your education experience and enter the field faster.

Demographics and setting. You will be investing a lot into your physical therapy education. Make sure that you select a program where you feel at home.

You may wish to contact current students and recent graduates of the program, or interview employers who hire new graduates, to ask about a program's strengths and weaknesses.

Admissions

The Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service allows applicants to use a single web-based application and one set of materials to apply to multiple DPT programs.
Learn About the Admissions Process
After Graduation

Licensed physical therapists may choose to pursue a residency or fellowship program to enhance their knowledge and practice.

A clinical residency is designed to advance a physical therapist's preparation as a provider of patient care services in a defined area of clinical practice. It combines opportunities for ongoing clinical supervision and mentoring with a theoretical basis for advanced practice and scientific inquiry.

A clinical fellowship is a planned program of postprofessional clinical and didactic education for a physical therapist who demonstrates clinical expertise in an area of clinical practice related to the practice focus of the fellowship. (Fellows are frequently postresidency prepared or board-certified clinical specialists.)

Physical therapists also have the opportunity to become board-certified clinical specialists through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties. Specialization is the process by which a physical therapist builds on a broad base of professional education and practice to develop a greater depth of knowledge and skills related to a particular area of practice. PTs are not required to be certified in order to practice in a specific area.

Article on the Washington Commanders hiring a new physical therapist.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Commanders have addressed one of their weakest points in the latest NFLPA survey.

Washington announced on Monday that the club has hired Ryan Juarez as director of rehabilitation and Jamal Randall Sr. as senior physical therapist/assistant athletic trainer.

This follows the team's hiring of Tim McGrath as senior director of player health and performance in March.

The Commanders finished dead last overall in the latest NFLPA survey, with an F- in the training room category and an F in the training staff category. The Commanders' rating of their head trainer was the lowest across all teams.

New team owner Josh Harris noted that the team would be focused on improving within the survey's categories this offseason. This is another example of the Commanders trying to do just that.

An article on what NIL is in the NCAA.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
College sports are undergoing a major shift, all because of one important question: Should college athletes be paid? In June 2021, the NCAA responded by implementing an interim policy on name, image and likeness, or NIL, allowing student-athletes to make money from their personal brand. However, it can be a bit complex to navigate.

NIL laws vary by state, meaning your state may or may not have its own NIL regulations you must adhere to. Whether high school students can participate in NIL activities depends on the rules set by your state's high school sports association. Additionally, colleges and universities often have their own unique rules for NIL.

Our guide aims to simplify NIL rules for high school athletes and parents involved in the recruiting process. Understanding what's allowed and what's not can ensure your eligibility for college sports and maximize your potential for future NIL opportunities.

What does NIL mean? What is the right of publicity?

Name, image and likeness (or NIL) are the three elements that make up "right of publicity", a legal concept used to prevent or allow the use of an individual to promote a product or service. For example, if an athlete's photograph is taken while wearing an athletic brand, and that brand uses the photo to promote their products without the athlete's consent, that athlete could claim the brand is in violation of the right of publicity.

The right of publicity is generally used to protect against the misuse of an individual's name, image and likeness for commercial promotion. However, the NCAA has been scrutinized for years, as critics say the NCAA takes advantage of student-athletes by using their name, image and likeness for profit, while not allowing the athletes to cash in, as well.

what is the ncaa nil rule?

The NCAA's interim policy, which was passed in June 2021, has three main parts:

1. Athletes can engage in NIL activities if they follow their state's laws where their school is located. Schools must ensure these activities comply with state law.

2. Athletes in states without NIL laws can still participate in NIL activities without breaking NCAA rules.

3. Athletes are allowed to seek professional service providers for their NIL activities.

Student-athletes should report NIL activities consistent with state law or school and conference requirements to their school.

Examples of NIL activities for student-athletes

With the NCAA changing the existing NIL rules to begin allowing athletes the right to profit from the use of their own name, image and likeness, here are a few examples of what student-athletes could now be paid for:

Autographs and memorabilia

Camps and clinics

Personal appearances

Merchandise

Affiliate/ambassador roles

NFTs

Blogging

Podcasting

Public Speaking

Music, art, etc.

What high school student-athletes need to know

NIL is an exciting opportunity for both college and high school athletes, but before you dive into name, image and likeness deals as a high school student, there are some important things to keep in mind. It's a good idea to start preparing early and understand how NIL could impact your path to college.

1. State NIL rules: Each state has its own NIL regulations, so what's allowed in one state may not be the same in another.

2. High school NIL rules: Though the NCAA permits high school student-athletes to monetize their NIL, check with your high school or sports association's rules to avoid violations.

3. Colleges and conference-specific NIL rules: In college, you'll also need to be aware of what your college or conference allows for NIL, not just the state law.

4. Know your risks: Engaging in NIL activities without considering the rules set by your state or high school sports association could jeopordize your eligibility to play college sports - and we know you don't want that!

5. Prioritize school and sports: Keep up with your grades and improve your skills for college-level competition - this boosts both your college prospects and future NIL opportunities.

6. Seek guidance: Ask current college student-athletes for advice on name, image and likeness. They can connect you with NIL professionals and help you make smart choices! You can also explore the option of consulting with financial management experts, listening to industry leading podcasts and attending NIL workshops.

7. Build your online presence: Even if you don't plan to engage in NIL deals in high school, begin building your online presence on social media. Sharing your journey and interests can help college coaches know you better for recruiting and set the stage for future NIL opportunities.

8. Stay informed: NIL rules and regulations are constantly changing as states, schools, and conferences assess their impact on athletes. Staying up-to-date on these developments and trends will help you make informed decisions during your high school and college journey.

To understand your NIL rights, regularly check the following sources:

What states have signed NIL laws?

States are introducing their own laws and policies related to NIL, and as a result, the regulations governing name, image and likeness deals can vary based on where you live or the college you attend. Different states have distinct rules regarding what athletes can endorse and when they can start engaging in these opportunities.

In states with active NIL laws, college athletes can earn money following both state and school rules. In states without such laws, the college sets the guidelines for NIL activities.

We've gathered data from the Business of College Sports NIL Tracker (last updated July 2023) to provide you with a state-by-state overview of the NIL laws impacting college student-athletes. We'll ensure this information stays current as NIL regulations evolve.

High school associations address the NIL rules

High school sports associations are currently navigating the complexities of name, image and likeness. Unlike college student-athletes, high school athletes have stricter limitations and may not be able to capitalize on their school's logo or name. The opportunities for high school athletes to make money from their NIL vary depending on the rules set by their specific association.

Below is access to state-by-state rules and regulations for each high school association.

Insider Tip: We highly recommend that you reach out to your high school athletic director or contact your high school association before engaging with NIL deals as a high school student. They will be able to provide you with the necessary guidance and most up-to-date information specific to your state's association.

Are colleges/universities creating their own NIL rules?

Yes, each individual school has oversight of NIL deals and the right to object to a deal if it conflicts with existing agreements. Some schools are turning to companies like Opendorse and INFLCR, which offer platforms for athletes to upload their NIL contracts for the compliance department to review and approve.

Athletes are expected to understand their school's NIL policy and keep their school informed of all NIL arrangements. The best way to ensure student-athletes understand school-specific NIL rules is to work directly with their school's compliance department or their coaches. Check here for a list of institutions with NIL rules and regulations in place.

National governing bodies sport-specific amateurism rules

How to talk to college coaches about NIL

Moving forward, student-athletes interested in monetizing their NIL will need to ask questions about NIL rules when talking with coaches. Before speaking with a coach, prospective student-athletes should create a list of questions about the NIL rules that would impact them. Below are a few suggested questions:

What NIL rules are enforced by your school and conference?

What is NIL going to look like for me if I come to your institution?

How are current student-athletes monetizing their NIL?

What marketplaces are your current athletes using to monetize on their NIL?

What platform is your compliance office using to manage and approve NIL contracts?

Helping student-athletes monetize on their NIL

Student-athletes looking to monetize on their NIL will need help securing deals. While there are many companies that have been working with professional athletes for years that will offer their services to college athletes, there are a number of new companies that have recently launched specifically to help collegiate athletes. To learn about some of these new brands, check out the NIL Network's coverage on digital marketplaces, as well as the BCS tracker which offers a running list of marketplaces.

What's next for NIL?

The NCAA intends to work with federal congressional legislators to replace the interim policy with a single nationwide policy, but there is no timeline on when that might happen. For now, athletes should continue to adhere to NIL rules set in their specific state. NCSA will continue to monitor changes as they relate to NIL laws and provide updates to the team, when necessary.

NCAA NIL FAQs

What does NIL stand for?

NIL stands for name, image and likeness, which primarily pertains to student-athletes in college sports.

What does NIL mean?

NIL refers to the rights of college athletes to control and profit from their name, image and likeness. In the past, these rights were restricted by the NCAA, but recent policy changes now allow athletes to monetize their personal brand and endorsements while participating in college sports.

When did NIL start?

Effective July 1, 2021, the NCAA approved name, image, and likeness policy allows student-athletes to monetize their NIL. However, no federal legislation or specific NCAA NIL rules have been established. NIL activities and restrictions vary from state to state and school to school, which means student-athletes must understand both sets of rules before entering into any NIL agreements.

What is a NIL deal?

A NIL deal is an agreement or arrangement between a student-athlete and a third party, such as a brand, company or individual, where the student-athlete receives compensation for the use of their name, image and likeness.

What is an NIL collective?

NIL collectives are support networks for college athletes where donors pool together money to compensate athletes for their name, image and likeness. These independent organizations generate NIL deals for athletes at specific schools while operating separately from the schools themselves.

An article on what the typical sports head coach goes through.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There are a variety of career options in the world of sport, and if you want to help and inspire others to be the best they can be, becoming a Sports Coach (or P.E. teacher) might be right for you.

It's a rewarding job that many choose to pursue, due to their love of a particular sport, and a passion to pass on personal experiences, knowledge and enthusiasm, to others.Every athlete and sports team have coaches behind the scenes that help them on their sporting journey, and some become just as famous and well-respected in their fields as the people they coach e.g. Harry Redknapp (football), Sir Clive Woodward (rugby union), Christian Malcolm (athletics) and Bill Furniss (swimming).So, whether it's helping local children improve their football skills, or your goal is to work with a professional athlete or sports team, here's a few things you should know.

What does a sports coach do?

As a sports coach, your role is to help athletes of all ages and abilities to reach their sporting potential.You could be working with a local team (e.g. under 10s gymnastics/football/swimming) on a voluntary or part time basis, or working with a professional team or athlete on a full time basis.

A coach needs to be able to understand people's strengths and weaknesses, and promote and maintain motivation in those that they work with.They use a variety of skills to analyse individual and team performance, and provide training to improve sporting results and output.

Roles and responsibilities

The key skills needed include:

excellent knowledge and experience of sport

knowledge of the human body to maximise results and reduce injury risks

good communication and teaching skills

analytical skills

problem solving abilities

good people skills.

Having the ability to empathise and inspire is also key, as a coach's influence could have a profound impact on those they are coaching, both in terms of their sport, and in relation to their future career and life skills.

A day in the life of a sports coach

There's no such thing as a typical day for a sports coach - and working patterns vary depending on who the client is.Coaches could be working part time with local teams or working full time with professional athletes or sports teams, but either way, it almost certainly won't be the standard 9-5pm Monday-Friday job, especially as many sports compete at the weekend.

Generally, a coach will be based at a team club or training centre most of the time, but would need to travel with their athlete or team to competitions, which could be local, national or international.

How to become a sports coach

Vocational awards and qualifications (including an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance), are an important step in becoming a sports coach - whether that's within community activities or high-performance sport.If high performance coaching is what you want to do, a sports degree would be highly beneficial, and you may need to continue your studies at postgraduate level too.Our BSc Sports Coaching and Physical Education degree is a good way to begin your coaching career, and our experienced staff will help you to gain the experience and skills you need to make a real difference.This includes offering numerous bolt-on awards as part of the degree to help you build your repertoire of coaching qualifications, although you don't need to wait to start your degree to get experience.If coaching appeals to you, we would recommend getting in touch with a local school or sports team to offer them your help, to gain some valuable experience, and to start your journey to helping others be the best they can be.

College football head coach shares his thoughts on NIL in college football.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
LSU Tigers head coach Brian Kelly floated the idea of having a salary cap in college football as name, image and likeness (NIL) deals and the transfer portal become move prevalent.

Kelly explained his position in an interview on "The Dan Le Batard Show" last week.

"Well, if we had a salary cap, I'd be OK with it, but there's no salary cap," Kelly said. "I mean, that's the issue, really. I mean, if we all were operating under the same guidelines, at least we could, you know, know, 'OK this is what we've got,' but that's really the biggest issue.

"But look at the parallels, you're right. I mean look at Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers, they're all looking for that rookie signing bonus. We're out there recruiting seniors in high school, they're looking for that freshman signing bonus. The transfer portal, he's looking for a free agent bonus, and then the guys on your roster, they want retention bonuses.

COLORADO'S DEION SANDERS ISSUES STERN WARNING AFTER LEARNING OF PLAYERS' LACKADAISICAL APPROACH TO ACADEMICS
"So, look, it parallels, NIL money is broken down into the three categories that the NFL is paying out, and we're doing the same thing. Unfortunately, we're doing it without a salary cap, and that's where it makes it just absolutely crazy, because you just don't know what the numbers are from year to year."

Kelly sounded the alarm about the "wild west" of NIL in December. He warned about instances where NIL could become "pay for play."

LSU was ranked in the top 10 in 247 Sports' recruiting rankings in 2023 and 2024. The Tigers were 10-4 in Kelly's first season in 2022 and 10-3 in his second season last year.
