"I have been fortunate to work with Dr. Walters on a number of occasions. Rod has deep knowledge and long-standing experience with standards and systems designed to enhance the safety of student athletes and is highly respected by Athletic Departments throughout the NCAA. Perhaps his most impressive strength is his ability to effectively communicate with all stakeholders from players to athletic trainers, coaches to administrators, and Congressional leaders in Washington DC."

"As the University of Kansas Health System expanded our  sports medicine program, we needed a leader in the field to advise us on policies, procedures and the role our athletic trainers should play in this expansion. We needed to understand the scope of practice for  these health care professionals and how to best utilize their skills at the youth, secondary and collegiate levels.   Dr. Walters experience and understanding of the athletic culture combined with his evidence base approach to patient care have made him a valuable resource for our health system.  We have seen tremendous growth in our Sports Medicine Service Line and Rod’s insights and strategic advise have been a critical part of this successful expansion.  We are fortunate to have him on our team!"

"Having had the privilege of working with Dr. Rod Walters in a couple of capacities, as a Head Athletic Trainer and as the President of the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society (PFATS). I found him to be very professional, organized, knowledgeable about topics that are important to Athletic Training and he works very hard in promoting the profession. Because of his outstanding reputation and experience, PFATS had the opportunity to partner with Dr. Walters in a very important project for those involved in sports with a very successful Webinar: EAP for Safer Sports. He is continually making Athletic Training better."
