Catch the McDonald’s All-American Games

March 26, 2026

When the nation’s best athletes perform, ATI is there to help keep them moving. Once again, ATI will serve as the official physical therapy provider for the McDonald’s All-American Games. Four of ATI’s Sports Medicine Athletic Trainers will travel to Phoenix for the big game and split their time between the all-star teams with help from three of ATI’s PT Sports Residents.

“I am most excited and very honored to be given the opportunity to represent ATI at the McDonalds All-American Games!” Samuel Almendarez, an ATC from ATI’s Illinois market, said when asked about the event. “Traveling for this game and being around the media and high-profile athletes resembles the experiences I had while working with the Chicago Sky. This will be a lot of fun!”

This new partnership looks to bridge a gap by launching its Workplace Injury Prevention Certificate Program, designed to equip future health professionals with proactive musculoskeletal (MSK) care strategies.

The initiative builds on the expertise of ATI Worksite Solutions—a national leader in injury prevention, ergonomics, early MSK intervention, and occupational health—and iMSKA, ATI’s research institute established in 2024 to advance evidence-based practices in MSK care. Together, these organizations are aligning academic training with real-world employer needs, preparing students to reduce workplace risks and improve population MSK health.
