Best AT Moment: I had an athlete who was graduating and thanked me and told me without my help all year he wouldn't have made it through the season and I helped him beyond his injury with his mental health as well.  He said "I knew with you, I was more than just my injury and my sport."

Quote/Lyric/Line that sums Athletic Training To You: "No matter how small you feel, you make a big difference in this world."  I think the world forgets about our profession and while we struggle with acceptance we're still making differences in our athletes' lives, even if it is just one.
