A Career As A Sports Nutritionist

I have studied human biosciences and nutrition within my health science diploma/degree; both of these have brought me valuable skills and knowledge to succeed in this role.

To me an Athletic Trainer is someone that graduates from college certified to provide help to people that are injured, right out of college. This major can be obtained in four years without and further education, however; must take classes to keep up with the ever growing medical field. The main thing I think of when I think about going into Athletic Training is working at a school with the schools sports teams, however; they also can work in physical therapy clinics, hospital settings, nursing homes, etc. Athletic Trainers focus on prevention, treatment, what is wrong, and getting the patient back to health as well as working along side a doctor or physical therapist for further assistants.

For example, if you become an athletic trainer, the job possibilities are excellent. But, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, this field is projected to grow 21% between 2014 and 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. In fact, athletic training is identified by the American Medical Association, Health Resources

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” I believe an Athletic trainer is a very wise and reasonable job selection. It's a career I'd enjoy doing which is good.

I have always had a passion for education and being at Saint Vincent Academy, I have grown into a passionate young woman. Academically, I have been exposed to many different classes such as American History, Women's History, Modern History, a very graphic freshman year health class, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. Each class has helped me in forming my passion of helping people and the ability to empathize. Through my history classes, I have learned about the need to help others and through my science classes, I have come to the decision to become a nutritionist/ registered dietician. My goal as a nutritionist is to help people take better care of themselves and it will start by acknowledging them on what they put into their body's and the

Ever since I was a child, I enjoyed watching and doing athletic activities. I played softball throughout middle school but stopped once I got to high school. I realized that even though I didn’t want to play as much anymore, I still wanted to be involved with athletics. I began managing my high schools girls and eventually boys’ basketball team. By doing so led me to the career I want to partake in for the rest of my life. I want to become an Athletic Trainer. What motivate me to become an Athletic Trainer are the different aspects of the job. I also have a lot of friends and family members who are athletes and I love the different personalities that come with the athletes. I am also motivated to this career, because I want to be able to prevent athletes’ injuries, assist, and aid the athletes’ to enhance their performance so that they can continue to do what they love and to overall get stronger.

My specific areas of interest include cardiovascular nutrition and oncology nutrition. Once I become a dietitian my short-term goals include gaining clinical experience by working in a hospital. I also plan on joining a local professional organization, so I can stay involved with my community and network with other dietitians. My long-term goals would be to purse my interest in oncology and cardiovascular nutrition. I would like to work at a cardiac rehabilitation center or in the cardiology unit at a hospital where I could help combat the leading cause of death in the United States. To purse oncology nutrition I would like to work in an outpatient cancer center, and join the Oncology Nutrition Dietetic Practice

The scene is set. It is 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, and the final heat of the Olympics is about to commence. The sprinters have been training their entire lives for the opportunity at hand, and the outcome of the most important event of their lives is going to come down to mere milliseconds. With a gold medal on the line, these athletes will be looking for any advantage they can get, whether big or small. One direction these athletes turn for an advantage is supplements. Supplements have emerged as a way for athletes to increase their performance, yet their use is very controversial. Supplements, varying from simple multivitamins to complex chemical supplements, are used by almost every athlete, whether recreational or professional,

I see myself going in many different directions, but how I get there is pretty clear. I am going to Iowa State University and major in Agricultural Business for the first four years after high school. I plan to maintain my high marks in college as I did in high school. During college I hope to take on internships at businesses that I may have a possible career at. One of my main goals when looking for a career after college is to find a job that is both challenging and allows me to make the biggest impact on agriculture I am capable of. It is important to me to do something that I love because that is how I know I will reach my greatest potential. While I may not know what the future holds for me and my career, I do know that I will be making positive influence on the world of agriculture and the lives around

While preparing for my career, While searching for opportunities I took initiative and worked with professionals, children, and peers. Specific experiences that are beneficial are working with OSU Extension Services, URAP, and with Salem Health. While volunteering at OSU Extension Services I learned a lot about nutrition outreach. I helped at the local food bank, assisted in nutrition classes for both adults and children, and helped at an elementary school. The opportunity to work for Extension as the instructor for the Spanish nutrition class arised, I am learning a lot and it has helped my public speaking skills and confidence. I learned about what it feels like to be a professional and have those responsibilities. In addition, working as the URAP Scholar is giving me research experience related to nutrition. I’m getting to be part of a team and collaborate with OSU Dietetic Interns in their research. Working as a nutrition services associate at Salem Health is also a wonderful opportunity that allows me to be around the dietetic field. There, I learn about diets while working with also having patient interactions. Throughout my experiences I gained teamwork experience, problem solving skills, and improved my time

From a young age, I have always wanted to know how and why the things around me work. Science was one of my more well-liked subjects throughout my schooling years. I am able to excel in these subjects because I have developed a strong interest in them and I enjoy the process of learning new things. I have always wanted to go to university to study a science-based subject. While browsing through the variety of courses available in your university, I came across "Food Science" and it caught my attention. That was when I knew it would be the right course for me.
