Top of the Class

Friday afternoon brought with it a new class inducted in the NATA Hall of Fame. This year’s six inductees are all incredibly accomplished and have contributed greatly to the field of athletic training. The NATA did a fantastic job of putting a video tribute together for each inductee, and their speeches were moving and from the heart. All in all, it was a fantastic way to honor the class of 2014. Congratulations to all!
