- Abstract
Grit is a construct measuring increased perseverance for long-term goals. Research suggests that healthcare students with higher grit scores perform better academically and professionally. Grit has not been assessed in athletic training students. A total of 756 athletic training students completed the survey. Over 90% of students intended to work as an athletic trainer. Grit was a predictor of a student's intention to practice as an athletic trainer. Females and graduate students were also more likely to enter the field of athletic training. A student's grit score could help predict their intention to practice as an athletic trainer.
