What have been the unique successes of students completing our athletic training education program?
Our program has enjoyed a fair amount of notoriety. In some part this notoriety is due to the success/visibility of some of its alumni and past professional staff. In some part it is also due to the current recognition of its clinical education program and related research. Many athletic trainers who have attended or worked at Ball State have held leadership positions within the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA). Some have also received district/national honors. One past athletic trainer employee, Sayers “Bud” Miller, has a national “Educator of the Year” award named in his honor. Numerous other athletic trainers, with perhaps less prominent profiles, have made a collective good impression in the profession.
