How does someone contact an athletic trainer for a professional sports team?
I am doing a project on becoming an athletic trainer, and I have to have an interview with an athletic trainer. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could provide me with an email or phone number of an athletic trainer to ask them some questions. Thanks.
Your initial request for an email address or phone number of an athletic trainer for a professional sports team is not likely to be fulfilled due to privacy issues. However, universities tend to publish information about departments, etc. that is likely to be public.
Why don’t you search "Athletic Trainer" or "Exercise Science" programs in the United States – to find out where athletic trainers are educated. Usually there are email addresses and phone numbers for the members of academic departments. You could then email or otherwise contact someone in the department to arrange an interview.
With a little additional searching, you may be able to find specific contact information of athletic trainers that work with professional sports teams. However, college and graduate students who are still in their athletic training careers might be more willing to talk with you.
Good luck.
