Better shoot for the pro level because any level below that, the pay is terrible (unless you use your degree for a completely different job 😂). Money isn’t everything, but ATCs are highly disrespected in the medical community. Just sayin!
samee. I'm a sophomore and I just applied for the atheist training program. I'm really excited because I genuinely love sports. And I really hope this works out for me, especially in in the future. I really want to make it and get the feels of professional/elite level sports like NFL, NBA, etc.
Athletic Trainers are completely underpaid and underappreciated. ATCs have a VAST knowledge of injury prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation with LONG clinical hour requirements of hands-on education. I left the field a couple years ago because the pay is TERRIBLE unless you have a pro sports job. The hours are terribly long as well. It’s pretty sad when a PTA (Physical Therapist Assistant) often makes more money with an associates’ degree than an ATC with a Masters 😳.
@@status7505 no man it depends, if you are working as a mediocre AT then you won’t get paid as well, however if you work at the top level you get paid a good amount. Hours is different for both, PTA’s also typically work with geriatric patients as well, whereas AT’s work with Athletes
@@status7505 I would say an ATC’s training is a LOT better (and more thorough) than a PTA’s, yet they don’t make quite as much money. I’m not trying to deter you from pursing AT as a career, but be prepared for LONG hours and not the best pay. I’m not saying that being a PTA is necessarily better, but you won’t have to go into nearly as much debt to become a PTA, and your pay will be better (in most cases). You should just do a TON of research on the differences between the 2 and draw your own conclusion.
My dream is to be an athletic trainer in the NFL. I am currently studying a degree in physical therapy in Spain and I want to do a master's degree in athletic training in the United States. Do you know how to obtain a scholarship and how to obtain a physical therapy degree? Thank you so much.
Is there any way to get ahold of any trainer with the L.A Rams? I would greatly appreciate it. I am a new person possibly going after the field in being a Athletic Trainer/Sports Physical Therapist/Sports And fitness Administrator. I think that's the last one that I'm trying to be. I need some guidance by all means. Until I make it to my destination.
It’s VERY difficult to land a job like that. You MUST have a Masters degree to even have a chance, and then you have to know somebody that knows somebody just to even get a chance of working at the pro level. If you are EXTREMELY determined to do it, it’s definitely possible… it just isn’t easy.
@@booboococknox5 it may make her feel better that there are actually more women in the athletic training field than men. Not to mention on average make 5-8.5k more than their male counterparts.
@@clinwarrior606 My point was that there aren’t any on this team which is why you don’t see it. However, there are many female athletic trainers within these fields Julie frymyer, Tiffany morton, Nina hsieh. I understand they need representation though. This is what I’m currently in school for
I will become a athletic trainer for the nfl I’m manifesting this !!🙏🏾
Same bro

We believe in you
@@ce6ej this is true! However depending where you live the pay can pretty nice for the secondary levels
I would love more behind the scenes videos like this one
Video was just an ad for sleep number lol. Lame..
I’m studying in this field and I hope I get the chance to work in elite level like these guys🙏🏾

Good luck to you, me too
@@endzonefootball thank youu❤️❤️
Samesies
I did student athletic training in Highschool and really enjoyed it ! Definitely a great choice for a career 😊
I'm actually going to school for this. Literally my dream job is helping people get better. Working with athletes you look up to would be crazy.
🙏
I dont know why but i just love these type of jobs people dont realize but some of these jobs that are if not more important than NFL football players
It's a shame ATs are often taken for granted even though they do alot for athletes.
love the NFL and Rams!!
I had to watch this for school.
This job is very interesting. I wanna do this job after I finish my military contract!
I liked the Clive Palmer ad, he is my God.
Great video ! Thanks for the insights
These behind the scenes videos are so cool. What do you have to do to become an athletic trainer?
As of 2022, you have to obtain your masters degree in Athletic Training to practice in this field, Godspeed 🙏🏽
fr, if i’m unable to continue as an athlete definitely something i’d be interested in
Great healthcare team for athletes

so would you say PTA>ATC?

How did you get so far as the nfl teams as a athletic trainer

@@ce6ejyou just have to apply for a internship
They don’t pay good unless your with the pros get into something else

No women were represented in this video. We can do better.
There are no women on the Athletic Training team for the LA rams
