NBATA

Sí se puede. 💙

Celebrating, Octavio Marquez Montoya, Assistant Athletic Trainer with the Los Angeles Lakers and the perspective he carries with him throughout his journey in athletic training, on and off the court.

A reminder of the power of representation, perseverance, and culture.

A full circle moment for Boston Celtics Athletic Trainer and Physicial Therapist, Nick Sang as he returned to Northeastern University to share his experience and expertise with the next generation of students.

Moments like this reflect the impact of staying connected to the programs and communities that helped shape your path.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor the rich heritage, history, cultural traditions and contributions of Hispanic and Latine communities whose roots span across Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. 🌎

This year’s theme, “Unidos, Somos Más”…“Together, We Are More,”reflects the strength found in our shared experiences, unique cultures and the communities that bring us together.

Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re proud to celebrate the heritage represented across the NBATA and highlight the people, stories and traditions that continue to make an impact beyond the court.

Follow along throughout the month as we celebrate Hispanic heritage across the NBATA.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the bravery of the first responders, and hold close the families and communities forever impacted.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

On behalf of the NBATA, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Bill Schmidt’s family, friends, loved ones, and his extended Gatorade family.

Bill’s legacy will live on through the people he influenced, and the partnerships he helped build. He will be deeply missed.

Most Valuable Paws. 🏆🐾🏀

On the court or waiting at home, they’re always part of the team.

Happy from a few of the NBATA pups.

Athletic training is an essential healthcare profession.

Athletic trainers play a critical role in injury prevention, evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, and emergency care.

Working alongside sports medicine teams, athletic trainers combine education, clinical expertise, and hands-on care to support the health, safety, and long-term well-being of athletes and patients every day.
