Abstract:
Contemporary sports medicine literature has begun to address more centrally the idea that treatment adherence is a complex issue. Not only must certified athletic trainers (ATCs) possess knowledge about injuries and subsequent rehabilitation protocols, they also must be able to deliver essential services in a manner that predisposes treatment success.
