My Career Values For Fitness And Physical Education

athletes in an effort to prevent injuries. They work in amateur and professional sports. Once injuries occur, the athletic trainer is required to evaluate the problem and get the athlete the proper medical treatment. He or she also makes sure that athletes are physically ready and able to play after an injury. Athletic trainers set up physical conditioning programs for athletes, work with equipment managers to make sure that playing and training areas are in working order, and also work with physicians in developing and implementing a rehabilitation program for injured players. Athletic trainers work in offices, treatment

Many people are more active today than they were many years ago. Injury prevention and diagnosis plays a big role in today’s society. Preventing an injury is important for many athletes all over the world, and for people that are physically active. Preventing injuries can benefit an athlete in the long run. Athletic trainers help athletes and physically active people stay healthy for what they do on a daily basis.

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.

One of the most critical effects sports have had on me is in the decision of my career path. After high school I plan on

I have wanted to be/ do something in the sports medicine field since I was in the seventh grade. So any chance I get I look up any information that will come up and read everything possible to give more me information about becoming an athletic trainer. This is something that has been very important to me for several years and I’m never letting go of this no matter what it takes to get there. I enjoy sports a lot and like learning how to help people get to learn more about the proper use of equipment, and I like teaching people too. That is one requirement that it takes to be an athletic trainer. I am interested in the occupation because it fits perfect in what I am looking for in a career. I feel like with me being involved in the sports the way that I am now it would be perfect and I have plans to still wanting to be as athletic when I am older too. Being an athletic trainer takes being fit/ in shape for sure!

I have chosen to study athletic training because it allows me to still participate and be involved in sports as well as be able to help athletes recover from injuries while gaining valuable clinical experience for physical therapy. Growing up I have always had a love for sports but I have not been graced with the abilities to become a professional athlete. With my love for sports as a youth I watched a lot on television with my father and I would see athletes get injured and medical personnel rush out to their aid. When I found out they were athletic trainers and physical therapists, I knew that is what I wanted to do when I grew up. All throughout high school I was involved in sports and unfortunately had an injury or two. Although our school did not have an athletic trainer, I went to many different specialists and

The profession that I am interested in is an Athletic Trainer. I have chosen this career because it is something that I have recently become passionate about within the last two years. I have never been the kind of person to struggle with weight, however after having my 3rd and last child, weight has become an issue. I mention my personal struggle to give insight on why I have chosen an Athletic Trainer. This profession’s main goal is physical fitness. As a trainer you become responsible for another person’s physical active lifestyle. Assisting clients from injury to recovery, evaluating their bodies and advising the individual what is best. Athletic Trainers has many responsibilities. AT’s are professionals in the health care world who mainly caters to athletes. An AT however isn’t limited to just athletes. They work with just about anyone. Ages ranging from a child to an adult. Different skill and jobs, people such as soldiers, high school athletes, and professional athletes.

While a sophomore in high school, I had the opportunity to take a sports medicine elective class. At first, I was not too sure about it, but I thought I would give it a try and I ended up loving every second of the class, especially the hands-on experience. After taking both levels of the course, I learned a great deal about taping, special tests, the different treatment modalities, all the joints of the body and common injuries for each, as well as the different career options under the sports medicine umbrella. Since I enjoyed the course, I signed up for my school’s Athletic Training club where I was a student trainer for the wrestling and soccer teams. I worked alongside the school’s head athletic trainer to help tape, stretch, and provide first aid for the athletes both on and off the field. We also worked to provide and implement rehabilitation plans to help the athletes return to play after an injury. From this experience, I learned that I enjoy working with athletes and I wanted to pursue Athletic Training in college. After researching the different colleges in Georgia that offered

Participation in sport alone has not been enough for me. A degree in Sport and Exercise Science is the obvious option to satisfy my fascination with how the human body functions, a deep-rooted passion which has only been amplified by my own exploits as an athlete.

This opportunity will allow me to put their needs before mine. I’m passionate about wanting to make someone become healthy, to become strong than before, to go out and do what they love. Now the question is why athletic training, why not a nurse or doctor? Well that is because I grew up with sports ever since I was 6. I did soccer, volleyball, basketball, track, and softball.

“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 feel as if I'd do good in that career because it's something I show interest in. Without interest in a job it becomes boring, I wouldn't wanna spend every day of my life at something I don't like.

For as long as I can remember, my profession of choice has been an occupation in the healthcare field. My dad often reminisces on when I was three when he would ask me “What’s your name?” I would reply with “Dr. Peppers.” Well sixteen years later my dream of being a doctor no longer exists, however my goal to become one of the best athletic trainers in the country is burning with passion. Growing up I wanted to be several different occupations like a trauma nurse, an obstetrician, or a physical therapist, before realizing after two years of high school sports medicine that athletic training was my niche. In coming to better comprehend athletic training as a career, my experiences in my classes and clinical here at Winthrop along with my high school experience in sports medicine has shaped my understanding of the athletic training world.

My name is Christopher knox and I have been in athletics my entire life. Health and fitness is, by far, my biggest passion and it is why I have made this my career choice. Not only do I love helping people and seeing people reach their goals, but I also like seeing people learn more and become passionate about something I am passionate about.

I got into fitness in 2011 by someone telling me I should do this new Men’s physique division that was starting in the NPC. When Men’s physique first started, they wanted model looking types and I used to be a professional model so they thought I would be perfect for it. Placed top 5 in my first show of 60 guys in my class and I was hooked. The first year was a success so I kept going. Reaching others and helping people get educated is what drives me forward.

I decided to pursue Kinesiology as my major because I am very much interested in helping people of all ages reach their fitness goals, give them knowledge on how to live a healthy life and to help them understand that healthy eating and exercise needs to be a part of their lifestyle. Since I was six years old I have always played sports. I was forced into playing as a kid due to the fact that my parents and some of my cousins are former athletes. I began to develop a passion for sports that has continued to this day. Life was difficult when I was younger. I was overweight and there was an unfortunate reaction of the other students who made a mockery of my weight. Nevertheless, I was still surprisingly athletic. I would spend nights upset due to the fact that I was bigger than all of my friends and would constantly ask my dad how to lose weight and get muscles. Granted, I was around 10 years old at the time so there are not many exercises that you can do at this age besides push-ups, sit-ups and running laps around the track.
