“We have to elevate Athletic Trainers.” This has been a driving force for me since I became a director of athletic accounts at Henry Schein. – Eric Kearns

• How can we give back and elevate?
  
• What are some of the conflicts ATs are dealing with?
  
• It is peer-nominated and voted on
  
• Less than 5 years of experience
  
• Previous winners become judges as well
  
• Happens during NATM – so each March
  

• Jim M. at the University of Kentucky
  
• Had to fill the role of a previous AT with a great relationship
  
• We did not have an AT as hockey players growing up in New York
  
• Here is your one shot to make our relationship work
  

• Stuff delivered on time…that is the biggest struggle.
  
• The rising cost of goods is also an issue for everyone.
  

• Eric Kearns was a contractor for years before coming to sales so this is great for me.
  
• Start with the big objects and work from there
  
  • Tables can only go in certain areas.
    
  
  
• A turf workout area is a really awesome concept that provides greater rehab opportunities.
