NATA Presidents
Ken Rawlinson
1955
From the day of his arrival at Oklahoma University in 1953, Ken Rawlinson was respected for his burning ambition and total dedication in his athletic training duties. Rawlinson, who graduated from the University of Illinois in 1942 with an M.S. degree, gained the same national prominence among his peers that Oklahoma University football teams earned. In addition to many lectures, demonstrations and awards, Rawlinson was the original author of Modern Athletic Training, a comprehensive athletic training reference for daily care of athletes. Ken was inducted into the NATA Hall of Fame in 1968 and is now deceased.
