May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month and we are excited to celebrate alongside our fellow coalition members in the Physical Activity Alliance, which advocates for integrating regular physical activity into daily life. We support efforts that encourage accessible, positive movement experiences for all and recognize the important role physical activity plays in long-term physical and mental well-being.

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Month 💙 To our AT volunteers, thank you for showing up, stepping up and giving back to the profession you care so deeply about. Everything we're building is powered by you. It's a new day at NATA. #NATAvolunteers #AthleticTraining #NATA

From elite performers to global stages, Kori Kirschner, MS, LAT, ATC is redefining what athletic training looks like. As the owner and founder of Stage Strong Athletic Training and Performance in Orlando and an on-call performance medicine therapist with Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn to Life, Kori provides strength and conditioning and performance medicine services to athletes and performing artists at the highest level. Her impact spans more than 40 countries, the launch of three athletic training programs, and partnerships with some of the largest arts and entertainment companies in the world. In her very first year working with performers, one artist sustained injuries – and didn’t miss a single rehearsal or performance because of Kori’s care. This is the power of athletic training: proactive, responsive, and relentless in protecting health and performance. During National Athletic Training Month, we celebrate leaders like Kori who prove that athletic trainers are truly Care You Can Count On – wherever the stage may be.
