Last week, Athlete EDGE at EDCare was proud to sponsor the 2026 Rocky Mountain Athletic Trainers Association Annual Clinical Symposium at Colorado College.

Athletic trainers play an important role in recognizing early warning signs when an athlete may be struggling with an eating disorder, disordered eating, or mental health concerns. Early awareness and support can make a meaningful difference in helping athletes access care.

It was a pleasure connecting with so many professionals throughout the event and continuing conversations focused on athlete health, education, and reducing stigma surrounding eating disorders in sport.
