DAT Life Moments | Andy T.

Shadow

I started my Doctor of Athletic Training (DAT) journey 11 years ago when I accidentally stumbled into athletic training.

I stayed on this journey because I found a calling to serve those who have been underserved. I am pursuing my DAT in order to transition from clinical to educational, where I hope to bridge the gap between the didactic and clinical.

I chose ATSU for this journey because we share the same beliefs: Treat the whole person and be where you are needed most.
