Learning Within & Beyond The Classroom

ATvantage Academy is an Athletic Training continuing education platform that was created to provide opportunities for Athletic Training Students and Certified Athletic Trainers to look for, pursue, and find more within themselves and the profession.

We believe that Athletic Trainers can find greater satisfaction in their work when they examine themselves and the profession more deeply and interact more broadly.

Encourage you to discover more about how you can best serve yourself, your community, and the profession.

Challenge you to find interactions beyond conventional settings and become more involved in the profession.

Wider Interaction

Greater Satisfaction

Inspire you to find deeper purpose in what you do, resulting in more fulfillment and lower burnout.

Athletic Training Programs Need Support Too!

Because the quality practitioner is at the core of the success of the athletic training profession, supporting education and education programs is paramount. Yet, we know, continually asking educators to do more is NOT the way forward. We must provide them with resources and support so they can focus on growing the next generation of quality practitioners.

“The ATvantage podcasts are an amazing supplement to the graduate courses I teach, especially administration and management. The podcasts provide real-time learning on relevant and important topics in the profession of Athletic Training. The podcasts spark great discussion in my classes and provide students with a mechanism to continue their own learning after graduation. Integrating the podcasts into my courses have given students the ability to process through difficult concepts in class and be more prepared as young professionals in the field of Athletic Training.”
