Objective: To investigate attributes of mentorship within athletic training implementing a two-phase approach. Design: A two-phase approach. Phase I a modified Delphi technique. Phase II a national survey to novice athletic trainers’. Participants: Phase I included 16 experts of athletic training. Phase II included 107 novice athletic trainers.
