K. Amato, DA, ATC, is currently an Associate Vice Provost at James
Madison University (JMU) in Harrisonburg, Virginia. He was the

still a tenured professor in the Department of Health Sciences. He
has been actively involved in the education of athletic training
students for 36 years at the university and high school levels. Dr.
Amato has an extensive public speaking and consulting background
and has published several articles in the areas of athletic
training education and clinical practice. He was inducted into the
Virginian Athletic Trainers' Hall of Fame in 2012. He is an active
member of the National Athletic Trainers' Association, and has been
presented the Association's 2003 Sayers "Bud" Miller Distinguished

Dr. Amato was the lead author for the first two editions of this
book; however, he believes the now-lead authors are able to better
portray the current needs of the profession. As co-founder of ACES,
a preparatory workshop company that helps prepare students to take
the BOC exam, Dr. Amato has stayed current in the field by
developing assessment exams that mimic the blueprint of the
national exam. In his current position, he is the chair of the
Assessment Advisory Council and was the co-chair of the
University-wide 10-year reaffirmation for The Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. This commission is
the regional accreditor for JMU.
Dr. Amato is also active in service at the community, university,
and national levels. He resides in Harrisonburg, Virginia, with his
wife, Lori. They have three grown daughters, Casey, Lyndy, and
Jessy.
