Madisen is a graduate of Pelham High School’s class of 2012 (Pelham, NH) where she was a four-year member of the field hockey team. Madisen’s passion for athletics and eventual career in athletic training stemmed from her time playing field hockey and getting to know the athletic trainer at Pelham High School.
As the Director of Athletic Training for Granite State Physical Therapy, she manages the athletic training staff and coordinates coverage for multiple junior hockey programs in New Hampshire. Madisen enjoys the acute care aspect of athletic training and is interested in treating various sports injuries with alternative therapies and exercise.
When not treating athletes or providing coverage for games and practices, Madisen enjoys tending to her houseplants and gardens, weightlifting, paddle boarding and fishing, and spending time with her husband and sons.
Julia Soucy received her master’s degree in athletic training in 2025 after completing both her bachelor’s and master’s degree at Plymouth State University in just four years. During her graduate program, she received multiple scholarships related to athletic training and was selected to represent Plymouth State at the Eastern Athletic Trainers’ Association Quiz Bowl in January 2025. Her second-place finish granted her a trip to the National Quiz Bowl in June of that year, where she placed 5th. As an undergraduate, Julia was named a Top 20 Senior and recognized as the Campus Recreation Student Employee of the Year for her efforts to promote campus-wide fitness and wellness. She is a 2021 graduate of Londonderry High School, where she was a four-year member of their girls’ soccer program, playing as a goalkeeper.

She helps athletes prevent, manage, and recover from injuries through acute and emergency care, designing rehab plans, and education on proper health maintenance in and out of season. She also provides medical coverage for junior hockey programs across NH.
Julia’s favorite part of athletic training is building trusting relationships with her athletes and watching them regain confidence on the field after an injury. Her passion for athletic training and sports medicine was sparked by her own experiences with injury during her soccer career. After working with sports medicine professionals to get back onto the field, she was inspired to help others overcome their setbacks and rebuild confidence just as she did.
Outside of work, Julia enjoys spending time with her family and two dogs, watching the NFL, and exploring local coffee shops.
