Retired Faculty & Staff

After nearly four decades of dedicated service, Marty Sataloff, our Head Athletic Trainer, is retiring. Over the years, his expertise and devotion have set a high standard for athletic training both within our community and beyond.

Mr. Sataloff has been the backbone of McDonogh’s athletic training program since arriving in 1986, providing exceptional care to nearly 1,000 student-athletes across almost 100 teams each year.  As the School’s first-ever Athletic Trainer, he set the professional standard for athletic health care at McDonogh, which became a model for secondary schools in the region. He initiated McDonogh’s Concussion Management Protocols—a coordinated effort between medical professionals, coaches, teachers, athletes, and parents to help students return to competition and the classroom; and more recently, in 2018, helped establish the School's Medical Advisory Board. His forward-thinking approach was invaluable during the pandemic.

Mr. Sataloff’s influence extends far beyond our campus. He has been a leading figure in the Maryland Athletic Trainers Association, serving as its president and playing a pivotal role on various committees. His expertise has been sought at numerous symposiums, and he has been a mentor and guide to many aspiring athletic trainers, including the dozens of interns and fellows who have trained here on our campus. 

As a former coach and father of four McDonogh wrestlers, Mr. Sataloff has had a special connection with our wrestling program. His comprehensive involvement, from weight certifications and developing weight management instruction, to occasionally driving the team bus—has left a deep impression on the program.

As Mr. Sataloff moves on, we thank him for his immense contributions to McDonogh School and the broader athletic training community and wish him the very best.
