Ophthalmic Dispensing Personal Statement

Participating in sports has taught me to be responsible for my own actions. Whenever I fail I move on and keep on trying. I’ve struggled but in the end I overcame most of the obstacles I faced.( I learn from my my mistakes )Flag football has taught me to become a leader, however, track and field taught me

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

Next, participating in sports lets me be myself and will help me throughout my life. Sports have helped me grow into a better leader and gave me the ability to become a better person. If my teammates are ever down or upset about something, I now have the ability to help them recover from it and get ready for the next play or inning. Also, taking part in sports lets me be myself. Whenever I am on a field or a court, I can always do what I do best and forget about everything else in my life.

I have been appointed a school prefect this year and will be sports captain for my house this year. I hope these roles will improve my leadership and communication skills, something that is crucial for a career in teaching sport. I hope that study coaching science or physical education will improve my understanding of coaching and sports theory, improve my delivery as a coach and evaluation of my own performance, both as a coach and as a

Sports came natural to me it helped me forget about the outside world and focus on the game itself. After playing sports for so long I had my fair share of injuries specifically mild concussions or rolled ankles. Every time there was an athletic trainer putting me back together. So I began to think of all the possibilities for a career. I combined the two which is a wonderful choice for me.

I have developed a strong work ethic, time management skills, goal-setting abilities, and mental toughness. I have worked hard to become a leader, gain decision-making skills, and overcome adversity. Basketball gave me the opportunity to function within a team for the success of the group. Everyone has to accept their role for the team to reach greater heights. This will carry over to my future career as a physician assistant because I will be a fundamental member of a healthcare team.

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

One of the people in the educational system I find useful are coaches. Coaches always talk about how, “Sports do not make character, they reveal it”. By knowing this I know that the way I overcome difficulties on the field, shows how I will deal with the ups and downs in life. Sports also improve team building skills, communication skills, dedication, hard work, consistency, etc. I find if I improve on those I will be a better person on and off the

I have an avid interest in sports although I am mainly interested in two. I have played Gaelic football for Newry Mitchels G.F.C from I was 9 years old. Although I have not experienced much success I have made many friends and learned a lot about teamwork and self-discipline. I also play Basketball for my school team. This has proved rewarding as we won the All-Ireland schools Basketball league last year. We trained very hard for this and it taught us that those who work hard are rewarded eventually

Growing up my whole life, I played every sport imaginable from hockey and soccer to football and tennis. My parents made me start being active and playing sports at a very young age and it was one of the best decisions that they could have made. Sports have so many benefits and teach so many life lessons besides simply the physical and competitive aspects to the game.When I first started playing sports, I absolutely dreaded every aspect of it, from waking up early, to working out, to being sore and tired all of the time. But as I grew older and started to understand life better, I started thinking about my future and the keys to being successful in life. I realized that sports teach so many life lessons beyond the

I recently graduated from Harding University with a degree in Exercise Science. While obtaining this degree, I learned how great my compassion for the human body really is. One of my favorite classes as an undergraduate was Exercise Prescription for different Populations. My professor really pushed us to explore new topics and expand our knowledge. Learning how people with different diseases or problems with their body adapt to different exercise techniques to keep them

Sports have had a huge impact on my life. Ever since eighth grade I've always been involved in some type of sport whether it was track and field ,bowling ,or football.

My passion for sports gives me many opportunities to pursue a career. For example, I can become a personal athletic trainer. I would have to focus on skills and abilities that are safe and effective to improve athletics. I could also become a college scouter. I would have to travel to watch athletes play and evaluate their talents. Another career having to do with sports would be a coach. I would teach the athletes “plays or special moves”. I would also the option of becoming a sports writer. I would deliver engaging and informative news about the event to blogs, newspapers…etc. Last but not least, I could be a physical therapist, who teaches

I have been attending karate lessons since I was 11 and after 6 years I finally acquired a black belt, this shows how patient and disciplined I can be (a trait required in the working world today). Likewise, I also play cricket. I started playing in my early teens in high school, eventually progressing into my town’s team. Cricket allows me to improve my communication skills as well as general social skills, both of which are needed throughout life, especially in neuroscience research teams. During my first year of college, I also took part in a year-long charity event.

Studying for a degree in Sport and Exercise Science would not only offer the potential to be at the cutting edge of sports and exercise development, but I expect my learning would raise interesting principles I could apply to my own training and competition, whilst also acting as a stepping stone towards my ambition of working alongside elite sports teams as a head of athletic
