The video features Jana Austin (New Orleans Pelicans), Chastity
Chov (San Antonio Spurs), Jessica Cohen (Milwaukee Bucks), Kristin
Farrell (Utah Jazz), and Heather Mau (Dallas Mavericks), and
highlights their journeys to the NBA and views on how women
athletic trainers are breaking down barriers in professional
sports, a predominantly male profession.
“Athletic trainers play a pivotal role in maintaining the health
and wellness of athletes at all levels of sports,” said Megan LoRé,
General Manager of Operations for Henry Schein’s U.S. Specialty
Distribution Group. “It is inspiring to see women continue to be
trailblazers in the industry, making a difference in the lives of
athletes and advancing the profession each and every day. At Henry
Schein Medical, we remain committed to elevating the profession and
being trusted advisors, so athletic trainers can continue providing
exceptional care.”
National Girls and Women in Sports Day honors athletic
achievements by women, recognizes the importance of sports and
fitness participation for all girls and women, and celebrates the
power of women in sports and the continued push for equity.
According to the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, 55
percent of its members are women. But there are significantly more
male head athletic trainers in professional sports than women head
athletic trainers. In men’s professional sports, a study published
in the National Library of Medicine reveals that only 1.3 percent
of head athletic trainers are women.
“At the National Basketball Athletic Trainers Association
(NBATA), we celebrate the strides made by women in the field of
athletic training and we recognize the positive impact they have on
the entirety of the sports industry,” said Josh Corbeil, NBATA
Chairperson. “We appreciate Henry Schein Medical’s dedication to
showcasing the contributions of athletic trainers. The Company’s
commitment to recognizing the excellence of these professionals
aligns with our dedication to the future of athletic training.”
During National Girls and Women in Sports Day 2022, Henry Schein
Medical highlighted women athletic trainers representing several
professional football teams. Click here to watch the video.
“We are excited to team up with the NBATA to showcase the
influence women athletic trainers have in sports,” said Eric
Kearns, National Sales Director of Henry Schein Medical’s Athletics
and Schools business. “Athletic trainers are many times unsung
heroes, working tirelessly behind the scenes, and it is important
that they receive recognition for all they do.”
Henry Schein Medical, through its Athletics and Schools
business, has continued to advocate for athletic trainers and
elevate the profession through a variety of initiatives, such as
the annual Rising Star Award. Created in 2021 to celebrate emerging
athletic trainers with one to five years of experience in the
sports medicine industry, the Rising Star Award recognizes recently
graduated athletic trainers in the United States who have not yet
reached a senior chief-level position, but have a strong career
trajectory with the potential of forward advancement and
appointment at the highest levels of the profession. Women athletic
trainers have been honored with the award every year since its
inception.
