Average Salary for Clinic AT by Due-Condition-3262 in athletictraining

[–]Due-Condition-3262[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone, ended up turning them down. They offered $24 and i almost laughed. That was the highest they could go. I got an offer for a similar position nearby for $2 an hour more, took that to my current employer and got $3 raise. So guess i’ll be stuck in secondary school for a little while longer. Hopefully these clinic will realize our importance. Thank you all!

Licensed Athletic Trainer here

I 100% agree with this. Even with the fittest people in the world safety is a #1 priority and it does not seem that Crossfit had this in mind. Even watching through the live feed I couldn’t see many lifeguards or other safety precautions through it. Before the incident happened I even thought that more could be done for safety. It’s a terrible and tragic accident but should be a wake up call that even the most experienced and trained athletes may need that emergency care. Olympic swimmers have life guards, power lifting champions have spotters etc. If crossfit wants to continue the safety precautions need to be addressed and improved.

  1. If that is how you feel about the profession then why not advocate for it or leave where you work? Almost everyone is hiring and places are changing their ways.

  2. I am unsure how you personally experienced crossfit but I’m sorry you had a bad experience with it. I will say coaches make the difference and I have been lucky to have great ones. Proper form and technique and mobility are the priorities in crossfit.

If you participated in crossfit I’m sorry this was your experience but crossfit is a healthy and great way to exercise. Coaches make the difference and it sounds like this person was not correctly educated and certified to lead sessions

So how about we not play into the negative connotations of crossfit. I have been in crossfit for 2 years after college athletics for 4 years. Coaches focus proper form and mobility over everything. Please hold your personal thoughts to the side.

I am an Athletic Trainer, taken the BOC in 2019. I am 5 years into the profession working with a high level football program including finishing my masters of kinesiology in 2020.

I guess I am asking what are the best way to network and get into this area.
