Our Athletic Training Team

The athletic training staff at Houston Methodist helps everyone — from student athletes and everyday active adults to elite professionals — maintain peak performance while preventing injuries. They also dedicate countless hours every year to sideline and athletic training room coverage, as well as continuing education events, for hundreds of youth and high school teams across the community.

 

Our team has more than 95 full-time licensed athletic trainers across the system, serving more than 450 public and private schools, colleges and universities, as well as youth and adult sports leagues across southeast Texas. We are also the official provider to professional athletes and performing artists.
