Happy National Athletic Training Month to Encore Sports Medicine Athletic Trainer Kayla Woods!
“My name is Kayla Woods. I graduated from the Troy University Athletic Training program. After Troy University, I attended Georgia College & State University to pursue my Master’s of Science in Health and Human Performance. In 2018, I became a part of the Encore family. I provide coverage for Houston Academy Raiders. The best part about being an Athletic Trainer is that I’m given the opportunity to work with athletes before, during, and after an injury. I love to see them overcome adversities from injuries and develop their confidence back. During my free time, I enjoy photography and participating in drag racing events with my family.”
