Athletic Trainer - Men's Basketball

Nick Richey

Sam is an excellent athletic trainer. While I did not directly supervise him, I share a facility with a co-worker who did. Sam had excellent experience working within a fast paced environment with an elite basketball program. He established great relationships with sports medicine staff, athletes, and coaches. He takes ownership of his role and is a great leader. If hiring for similar role as this prospective job, I would strongly consider Sam. I'm happy to provide more information if needed.
