It is now time to begin submitting names to the NATA for athletic trainers who deserve recognition for all their hard work and outstanding professionalism. I know that everyone reading this knows of one YP who is worthy of an award, so please nominate him or her.
This summer at the NATAPAC breakfast, the guest of honor Dale Mildenberger, proclaimed that we need to banish the "unsung hero" title: that we work too hard and too tired and too passionately to be just someone happy to be in the background. He felt that we should be proud of our education and our expertise as health care providers. He felt that we are failing to get recognition in legislation because we fail to recognize our own special properties and celebrate those. He encouraged us all to be our own advocate. I could not agree more.
So give the ultimate shout out, the ultimate pat on the back, and nominate those who you feel represent the strengths in our profession. You can find all the information you need here: http://www.nata.org/young-professionals-committee-ypc-national-distinction-award
