Half of All Athletic Trainers Are Locked Out of the Top Jobs. Here’s How We’re Opening the Door.

It’s 9:00 PM on a Sunday.

You should be relaxing, but instead, you’re an hour deep into a "scrolling hole." You’re toggling between Indeed, LinkedIn, and the NATA Career Center.

You’ve spent the last 45 minutes filtering out "Personal Trainer" roles at the local big-box gym and "Physical Therapy Assistant" positions that don't require your expertise. You’re just looking for one thing: An actual Athletic Training position that respects your license.

Then, you see it. A job that looks promising. Your heart skips—until you scroll to the details:

• Salary: “Commensurate with experience” (Translation: We’ll pay you as little as possible).

• Benefits: “Competitive medical/dental” (Translation: Standard at best).

• Hours: “Varies based on season” (Translation: Prepare for 80-hour weeks and zero work-life balance).

  
  

In a profession facing record-high burnout and a retention crisis, "vague" isn’t just annoying. It’s a signal. It’s a signal that the market doesn’t yet fully value your medical license. You deserve better than a "vague" career.

The 30,000-AT Blind Spot

This platform didn’t start in a corporate boardroom. It started with a frustrated

Athletic Director asking me a simple question:

"Where can I post this job where ATs will actually see it?"

I told him the truth: You can post on the NATA Career Center, but you’re only going to reach NATA members.

The problem? Only 50.78% of BOC-certified Athletic Trainers are NATA members. That means nearly half of our profession, over 30,000 certified ATs, literally cannot see the job openings on the industry's "official" board.

We don't just have a burnout problem; we have a massive efficiency problem. Talented ATs are hunting through pages of noise on generic sites, and great employers can't find the staff they need.

It shouldn't be this hard to find work that matters.

Introducing: The One-Stop Career Hub for Every AT

Athletic Trainer Finder was born to kill the endless scroll.

We aren't another messy aggregator that scrapes every low-quality listing on the internet just to pad our numbers. We are building The One-Stop Career Hub, a curated resource designed to respect your time, your credentials, and your sanity.

Here is the deal:

• Free Weekly Job Listing Access: Finding your next move shouldn’t be gated. Access to our featured jobs and curated listings is free for every Athletic Trainer, all you need is an email address to get full access to every opening.

• Employer-Funded Transparency: We keep the lights on by charging employers to feature their roles. When an employer wants to cut through the noise and get their listing in front of the right eyes, they pay to be featured. You get high-quality, transparent listings; they get the best candidates in the country.

• Radical Transparency: We curate the information ATs actually care about. If an employer is being intentionally vague about salary or hours, we highlight that, too. We reward the employers who are brave enough to be honest.

• Closing the Gap: We are opening the doors to all 61,000+ BOC-certified ATs. Whether you are a NATA member or one of the 30,000 professionals currently "locked out" of the conversation, this is your new home base.

The Status Quo is Broken. Let’s Fix It.

Employers are struggling to find qualified staff. Qualified staff are tired of filtering through the noise.

My guiding principles are simple: Serve the profession. Create something useful. Drive the industry forward.

We help you find Athletic Trainers. We help Athletic Trainers find you.

By demanding transparency and accessibility, we aren’t just building another job board—we’re building a more sustainable career path for the modern medical professional.

Stop scrolling. Start finding.
