National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) Works with Sidelined USA to Support Medically Disqualified Athletes

DALLAS, September 5, 2018 – The National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) announces relationship with Sidelined USA, a nonprofit organization that supports athletes who have been permanently sidelined due to career-ending injury, health condition, or repeat concussion and inspires them to find a meaningful way forward. Both organizations share a commitment to the physical and emotional well-being of these athletes.

Sidelined USA, which launched nationally in February of this year, was founded by Cade Pinalto, a teen athlete sidelined by a heart condition, and his mother, Executive Director Christine Pinalto. They identified a lack of resources available for sidelined athletes and their parents and together, they started Sidelined USA to support these athletes in making the mental shift towards acceptance and to inspire them to re-engage with the sports world through alternate avenues.
