Catherine “Catie” Koenig is entering her second year at Bloomfield College of Montclair State University as an Athletic Trainer.

Koenig graduated from Rowan University in 2022 with a M.S. in Athletic Training. She

completed her clinical rotations at Rowan University, working with their women’s volleyball,

men’s basketball, baseball, football, and swimming and diving teams. In addition, Koenig

completed clinical rotations at Kingsway, Washington Township, and Delsea Regional High

Schools.

Koenig has completed research that focused on the mental health of student-athletes in the

collegiate setting. She presented her research, “The Mindful Injured Athlete Program:

Mindfulness Based Interventions for Division III Student-Athletes in Athletic Training

Rehabilitation,” at the Northeast Regional Association for Applied Sport Psychology and the

Northeast Atlantic Sports Psychology Conferences. She found this research to be useful in her

everyday patient care. The study identified the need for Athletic Trainers to not only focus on the

physical health of an injured student-athlete but to also prioritize the individual’s mental health

before they return to sport.

Koenig is a BOC Certified Athletic Trainer and is licensed as an Athletic Trainer by the New

Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners. She also holds a certificate in CPR/AED for the

Professional Rescuer with First Aid through the American Red Cross, a certificate in Naloxone

Administration, and a certificate for QPR Gatekeeper Suicide Prevention Training.

When Koenig is not in the Athletic Training facility or on the sideline of games, you can find her

training or showing her two Siberian Husky’s Stormy and Maximus, hanging out with her cat

Stryker, or refereeing soccer as a USSF New Jersey State Referee. Koenig currently resides in

Edison, NJ.
