Bridging the Network gaps

This exciting initiative aims to create a unique network of connections around each athlete to increase their opportunities and wellbeing.

Take Sierra Cruz, for example, who was from an East Coast university and got an internship at Stanford. We were able to come alongside and support her own dedicated efforts to raise the funds she needed, and we also helped bolster her connections by reaching out to an Athletic trainer at Stanford through our network and linking them, so she had a familiar face there for her on campus. Listen to more of Sierra’s story here.

The more extensive our network, the more we can bridge the network gaps and create critical connections for athletic training students based on their unique situations, needs, and interests.
