College Leadership Program Applications Open

We are excited to share information about the TSATA Collegiate Leadership Program (CLP) , a statewide initiative designed to develop and empower the next generation of leaders in athletic training. If you have any students who you feel would represent your instruction well please pass along this email. 

What is the CLP?
The CLP is a student-led leadership program that bridges the gap between undergraduate students and professional organizations such as TSATA, SWATA, and NATA. The mission of the program is to enhance student engagement, promote leadership development, and foster a strong professional identity among aspiring athletic trainers.

Program Benefits:

• Monthly leadership development meetings
• Networking opportunities with professionals and peers across Texas
• Opportunities to serve on projects that impact the athletic training community
• Exposure to regional and national athletic training initiatives

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be an undergraduate athletic training student
• Must be actively involved in a collegiate apprenticeship program or similar hands-on clinical experience
• Must attend a college or university in Texas
• Must be committed to participating in monthly virtual meetings and periodic CLP events

Applications are now open and close on September 5, 2025. We encourage you to share this opportunity with any undergraduate students who demonstrate initiative, leadership potential, and a passion for the profession. Applications require an application from the student and a professional reference letter.
