Your profession goes unnoticed often. For the long work hours, the exhausting days, and unnecessary drama... thank you for putting up with all of it. Thank you for calming me down after I search my symptoms on WebMD, for using your time to restore my health, and most of all, for keeping me humble.

When my world seems like it crashing down with an injury, I am always reminded that it is not the end of the world and that the world is filled with more opportunities than that of sports. They are the perfect example of humble servants. You don't hear them complain, you only hear ways for them to help you.

The month of March is National Athletic Training Month and if you have played a sport in college, you know that the athletic trainers are your saving grace. From 8:00 in the morning to 6:00 or 7:00 at night, they are working in various ways to get all of their athletes healthy. When the 4:00 am texts are sent because you passed out and are now in the hospital, you most definitely can count on your athletic trainer to be by your side getting you through the night.

Not only are they get you healthy physically, but they can also get you healthy mentally. They are there when you need someone to talk to or someone just to listen. Athletics trainers really do not get the praise they deserve. Behind every great athlete is an athletic trainer who has committed their time to get them better.

So to all of the athletic trainers I have had, thank you. Thank you for showing me the ropes, helping me decide what needs to be done on my end, and to follow suit to help me grow into a more humble servant as you are. Thank you.
