Address to the Attendees of the 2009 NATA Athletic Training Educators' Conference: 21 February 2009

Editor's Note: There is a great deal to learn from our colleagues who have had critical and noteworthy contributions to athletic training education. We are pleased, therefore, to periodically include the Robert S. Behnke Keynote addresses from recipients of the Sayers “Bud” Miller Distinguished Educator Award in the current and forthcoming issues of the Athletic Training Education Journal. In this issue's special section we present the speech from R.T. Floyd, EdD, ATC, CSCS who received the Distinguished Educator Award in 2007. The wide ranging contributions by Dr. Floyd are found at http://www.nata.org/DEAwinners#2007.
