We are excited to announce that Jeff Davis, Encore Sports Medicine Athletic Trainer, has been honored as the Southern States Athletic Conference Athletic Trainer of the Year!
We couldn't be happier for Jeff for this well-deserved honor. This award highlights his valuable contributions to William Carey Athletics and his community, his remarkable influence within the Southern States Athletic Conference, and his steadfast dedication to the Athletic Training profession.
Jeff says, "I first would like to thank God for giving me the ability to handle these duties each and every day I'm granted. I'm very grateful and blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with Encore Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine. Also, I would like to thank William Carey University, its administration and athletic department for giving me and Encore Rehabilitation the opportunity to work with such a fine institution! My goal each and every day is to give WCU Athletes the best possible athletic healthcare they can receive! It's a demanding job that keeps everyone involved extremely busy but is so rewarding to work daily with the athletes and coaches to help keep the Crusaders at their best. I also want to thank the SSAC for presenting me with the 23/24 AT of the year award. I thank my peers in the conference for my nomination and recognition. We all have a demanding job and a demanding schedule. We (AT's) all throughout the SSAC conference help each other out throughout the calendar year to help keep our athletes safe and help return them to sport following injury to the best of our abilities. I would like to thank those members of my staff, past and present for all the help and assistance, I clearly work day in and day out with some wonderful colleagues and credit them as well to our success and this award."
