Kevin completed a BS and MS from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) in 1988 and 1998, respectively. As a Licensed Athletic Trainer since 1993, he has had the privilege of working with numerous quality individuals, which include physicians, physical therapists, administrators, coaches, and athletes. However, he is most grateful for the many athletic trainers who have influenced him over the years.
The former athletic trainer at Lebanon High School, he has also worked with several other high schools, orthopedic and physical therapy clinics, and volunteering with Olympic tennis at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. While in Lebanon, Wolf served as outreach coordinator for University Medical Center in Lebanon for 7 years and saw the sports medicine program grow to a staff of 13, serving 16 schools in 7 counties. While there, he also worked with the Nashville Metros professional soccer club and NASCAR and IRL racing at Nashville Superspeedway. Under his direction, the outreach program earned the TSSAA’s F.A. Bridges Contributor of the Year Award. He was chief organizer of the program's sports physicals day, offering over 10,000 physicals during his tenure.
Working in the orthopaedic clinic, he took an interest in billing for athletic training services and was active in efforts to improve upon the current reimbursement climate for athletic trainers and presented on the topic during a TATS Annual Meeting. Later, for ten years, he served as a successful bracing and supports representative with KBI Medical, LLC, DonJoy Distributor and long-time TATS partner. Finally, he returned to the traditional setting at Eagleville High School.
During his TATS committee service, he chaired and restructured the High School Committee to form the Secondary School Committee, aligning efforts with district and national objectives. His committee instituted a directory of secondary school AT’s, the wrestling weight loss management program, and improved communication with the TSSAA. As the Public Relations Chair, he worked to promote participation in National Athletic Training Month, increased exposure with NATA News and consulted with a Nashville based public relations firm.
Serving two terms as Secretary, he worked to improve the newsletter through greater usage of technology using e-blasts to increase the frequency of news alerts and streamlining the Annual Meeting registration, eventually making the transition to online registration. He served a term as Vice-President under President Chris Snoddy, and later accepted the position of Parliamentarian.
He credits the support of his wife, Bunny, and his two sons, Donnelly and Nick, as well as the influence of the many mentors and friends he has come in contact with during his career. When asked about the most rewarding aspects of his athletic training experience and involvement with TATS, he says, “I would have to say my greatest reward is in the interaction with younger people, whether they be athletes or aspiring AT’s. To this day, it is passing on what my teachers have given me.”
