Episode 4 - Mission: Value Add

Saul Luna, Senior Associate Athletic Trainer for Texas A&M’s Track & Field & Cross Country programs, has dedicated his life to preventing injuries, restoring performance, and building trust in the moments when athletes hit the edge. In this episode of Driven by the Mission, Saul pulls back the curtain on the grit behind the scenes—nights in the training room, the delicate return-to-play decisions, and the human stories hidden under tape and protocols. We talk legacy, resilience, and how his journey—from humble beginnings to a key role in elite sports medicine—fuels his passion to guide athletes not just back into competition, but into lives of well-being and purpose.
