How can volunteering help you in your professional endeavors?
And how can making the time to volunteer help move the profession forward?


Being president of NATA is arguably the highest form of dedication to the athletic training profession. But how do you get there? Tune in to the premiere episode of "DedicATed," a special, new series of "The NATA-Cast," where we take a look at members dedicated to the profession. In this episode, series host Katie Scott, MS, ATC, talks with NATA President, Kathy Dieringer, EdD, LAT, ATC, to learn how leadership has been a constant thread in her career trajectory.

This episode covers everything from overcoming impostor syndrome, conflict management tips and some of the best advice Dieringer received during her early days as a young volunteer. This is one you don't want to miss!

“DedicATed” is a series in which we visit with ATs who have a passion for the profession. Whether it’s someone in a leadership role, an AT who is making strides in research or a member who is bringing increased awareness of the profession by working in an emerged setting – “DedicATed” highlights their stories and path as they advance athletic training.
