“People who are my mentors are sending younger athletic trainers now to me, and it's kind of a funny moment where you're like, ‘I looked up to you my whole life and now you're sending younger people back to me.’ I love that about Pitt. I think it truly is a family. I mean, half my family went there.” - Christie-Lee Coad (MS '10), cohead athletic trainer for USA Track and Field
