Arizona has spring training…if you love the MLB, you should consider working with Lindsey Loughran in Arizona.

Lindsey Loughrin got injured in high school and had ACL surgery.  She got to meet the Physical Therapist and Athletic Trainer through the injury.

Lindsey created a job shadowing program that became the current student athletic training aide program.

She attended a small college in Missouri to double major in theater and AT.

Lindsey Moved back to Chicago to study for the BOC.  then she got a lot of experience at Northwestern University in Chicago

Blessed to receive a GA position at Northern Arizona University she moved down to Arizona

She worked with a high school for 7-8 years in Illinois, but when job changes were occurring she looked to get back to Arizona.

The incoming Arizona AT Association president was mentored by a NATA HOF member who told me to get involved.

Linsey started with the Governmental Affairs Committee, then secretary and VP.  Now she is the incoming President
