“Joining the THSADA was the best decision that I made.” @Dr_CNKiser reflects on her THSADA journey, which started back in 2015-2016 as a head volleyball coach and campus assistant coordinator at Katy ISD.

"Your football coach may have 250 athletes, Athletic Trainers have 3000!" Jim Garfield sharing how @abileneisd helps support their Athletic Trainers.

Athletic trainers don’t get an offseason and they rarely get a break. While others reset, they’re still showing up, putting athletes first every single day. Too often, “they get lost in the sauce.” @WacoISD is changing that by scheduling meetings, staying connected, and making sure their trainers are seen, supported, and valued. Because supporting those who care for athletes isn’t optional, it’s necessary.

Education-based athletics = more than competition. It’s college credits. It’s real-world readiness. It’s life-changing opportunity. 🎥 Hear @JenniferFraz25 share how programs like those in @McKISDAth are redefining the student-athlete experience. Educate • Excel • Play

What are the aspects that truly make public schools so inviting? 🏫 @MontgomeryISD's @coachlaplante goes in-depth about the community, atmosphere, and experiences that can only be found in a public school system.
