Determination. Innovation. Excellence.
Sports fans everywhere love a good comeback story. The spirit of the game is epitomized by an athlete’s triumph just months after recovering from a devastating injury. Behind these great comeback stories are the athletic trainers and medical staff who also sacrificed to ensure these athletes and teams would reach their goals.
