National Athletic Training Month 2016 saw ATs far and wide promoting the profession to the public both in person and via social media. Use of the #NATM2016 hashtag generated over 12 million impressions. And the participation was not just limited to the contiguous United States. Photos that qualified for our Social Media Contest were posted from Hawaii and Alaska too. By the end of the month the contest included over 3,500 posts with another 150 that were entered in the NATM Poster Contest. Congratulations go out to the winners of our Social Media Contest drawing: PV Sports Med, ESU AthleticTraining and UMW AT. You can see their photos below. Thanks to all the ATs who participated in spreading awareness of the profession and the NATM theme, “A Safer Approach to Work, Life and Sport.” These pages feature just a few of the images we saw during the month.
