Created in 2021, the annual Award honors emerging athletic trainers who have one to five years of experience in the sports medicine profession. It recognizes recently graduated athletic trainers in the United States who have not yet reached a senior or chief-level position but have a strong career trajectory with the potential of forward advancement and appointment at the highest levels of the profession.

Nominated by their peers, three finalists will be selected by a panel composed of athletic trainers and industry experts in the field. Together, the committee members bring experience from an athletic training perspective of broadly diverse size, type, and geographic distribution.

Nominations for the 2025 Rising Star Award must be submitted here by March 5, 2025. To learn more about nomination guidelines, visit this link. Three finalists will be selected on March 11, 2025.
