Hear It From Athletic Trainers!

Real stories. Real workflows. Real experiences.

Every Athletic Trainer's day is a little different. Some work in high schools. Others support colleges, hospital outreach programs, clinics, or industrial settings. But they all have one thing in common: they need tools that keeps up with the pace of athlete care.

At NATA 2026 in Philly, we talked with ATs about their experience with Healthy Roster and Sway. We asked what was working, what had changed, and what they would tell others considering the switch.

From saving hours every week to improving communication with parents, physicians, and coaches, these are their stories—in their own words.

Built by Athletic Trainers. Built for Athletic Trainers.

When you've worked in hospitals, clinics, colleges, and high schools, you know the difference between software that simply stores information and software that's designed around your workflow.

Dennis explains why Healthy Roster became the easiest EMR his team has ever used—and why making the switch was worth it.

"Healthy Roster is designed specifically for Athletic Trainers. It matches our workflow and gives us the information we need, when we need it. It's second to none. It'll be the best switch you can make."

Better Habits. Better Workflow.

Switching to a new EMR doesn't have to disrupt your routine. Jennifer shares how Healthy Roster actually improved her daily workflow, making documentation faster while simplifying communication with parents through digital forms and messaging.

"It actually made our habits easier—and better. I can document on my phone, whether I'm on the bus or on the sideline. Everything I need is right there in my hand."

More Easily Finish Your Paperwork Before the Season Starts!

Managing pre-participation paperwork doesn't have to take weeks.

Kristen explains how replacing spreadsheets with one centralized platform helped her organization get ahead of the season instead of scrambling to catch up.

"Last year it took us almost four weeks to get all of our paperwork completed. This year, I've already finished about half of it—and school doesn't even start until August."

Baseline Testing Made Simple

Testing an entire team doesn't have to interrupt practice.

Sydney shares how Sway transformed baseline testing from a slow, one-athlete-at-a-time process into an efficient workflow that coaches and athletes both appreciate.

"Instead of pulling athletes out of practice one at a time, I can test an entire team in a single day. It makes the whole process so much easier for me and the coaches.”

Confidence on the Sideline

For Athletic Trainers covering multiple venues, mobile access is essential.

Arianna explains how documenting from anywhere—and having objective concussion data available immediately—helps her make faster, more confident clinical decisions.

"I save a couple of hours every day because I can document injuries immediately—even while I'm traveling between venues—and simply follow up the next day."

Everyone Stays Connected

Parents, physicians, Athletic Trainers, and outreach partners all play a role in athlete care.

Cassie talks about how Healthy Roster makes communication seamless, no matter where she's working.

"Parents can see my notes as soon as I enter them, so many times they're contacting me before I even have a chance to reach out to them."
