Athletic trainers are like offensive linemen. Nobody knows their name, but without them nothing works! #AT4All

Athletic Trainers are healthcare professionals with many talents - including being incredibly Twitter savvy. We compiled some of the best athletic training tweets from this January for your retweeting pleasure.
AT Twitter kicked off 2019 with some wise New Years Resolutions…
Welcome 2019. Happy New Year Everyone.
Continue to Thrive
Continue to Grow
Continue to Advocate for this Phenomenal Profession
Continue to Be the Best You
Continue to Build Bridges with Other Medical Providers#AT4ALL #ECAT #ATNation #Happy_New_Year_2019 #UnitedMedicine— Thomas J. Barkoski (@thomasjbarkoski) January 1, 2019
…and celebrated the connections athletic trainers make with their athletes.
So cool to have former athletes come hug & talk to me when they are home from college! I love learning about their life now & catching up! It's all about the connections made! #buildingrelationships #ATLife #AT4ALL #athletictrainers #Athletes

ATs took to Twitter to remind us all about the value of the profession…
Talking with one of the local Athletic Trainers we work with discussing their management of a serious medical issue & it reminded me this cannot be said enough: ATs are vital to student athlete safety & they save lives every day! #AT4ALL

…along with showing off their eye for aesthetically pleasing (and on brand) desk arrangements:
Other Athletic Trainers will understand this; when you get flowers from your awesome team parents, you find a cooler or bottle to put them in so you can display them proudly on your desk #SSAT #AT4ALL #VanceFam #LoveMyTeam pic.twitter.com/KAZ2Jco1sG

Forced to leave their kit unattended, the athletic trainer takes drastic measures to ensure it isn’t tampered with. #LEGOatc #DontStealMyTape #LockDown pic.twitter.com/8QCUao0JQY

Hello I’m an Athletic Trainer. You may know me from my greatest hits including: “No I don’t have the magical pain-relieving tape”, “Yes Rehab is done in the morning before school”, and “You don’t like to see me busy during a game, because busy=injured athletes normally” #AT4ALL https://t.co/TQkiiK6bOh

Probably most importantly, a great group of athletic trainers from around the country gathered in Texas in January for the annual NATA Joint Committee Meeting to collaborate and brainstorm about the future of the athletic training profession. If you missed it, don’t worry! The ATs in attendance took to Twitter to inform and motivate the rest of us on how to “own your impact” as an athletic trainer:

What does @NATA1950 do for you? For 2018-19, membership dues helped provide $568,454 in Legislative Grants to assist state legislative initiatives, promote and PROTECT the practice of athletic training in 37 states. #JCM2019 #ATsAreHealthCare pic.twitter.com/61xfF2ok7Q

There are two types of people. People who have committed to lifelong learning, and people who obtain CEUs simply to satisfy the BOC and keep their certification. Those are two drastically different approaches - @torylindley when speaking of maintaining competence as ATs #JCM2019

Headed home after productive 4 days of archives @NATA1950 and #JCM2019 .. still lots of work to be done! Historical commission thriving on! #ATimpact .. here is another #ATlegend ⬇ pic.twitter.com/JmN7e58Gnc
