Tyler's Motivation

He ultimately wants to be the physically bigger person and beat up this enemy. Tyler does

Currently attending the University of Dubuque, this bright-eyed young man found himself falling in love with the health wellness and exercise science program. Dreams of being able to work with the NFL or NBA as a professional physical therapist. Keeping his head on right is allowing him to successfully get through his first semester strong and well-balanced. With his background in football itself, he knows the ins and outs of what makes a person who is an athlete tick. Being able to aid someone who is hurt,

Two years ago on a crisp October afternoon following school, I walked to the training room expecting a normal day for us. There would be the tapping of ankles, wrist, and thumbs, along with rehabilitation exercises and the whines and complains of athletes who would sit in the whirlpool for various injuries. After changing into sports medicine attire and putting my books up I was asked to take a framed object next door to the athletic director’s office. While patiently waiting for him to finish a meeting with

The reason why I chose my topic to be Tyler Perry is because he is inspirational to me. I grew up watching his plays; my family would gather to watch his plays when they came to DVD. Tyler Perry writes great plays, he has a lot of work: ranging from television shows to having a best-selling book. A big reason to why I chose this person to write about was because I feel like he gives out motivating messages to the urban community. I feel like Tyler has a lot of information to write about so that is another reason why I chose him to write about. His hard work and determination are motivational; he went from being poor and living on the streets to becoming a multi-millionaire. One more thing about Perry’s work is that he acts in most of his

When I broke my Tibia and Fibula playing football my sophomore year of high school, I started to really think about what I wanted to do with my life. I had a lot of love for playing football, and I knew that I did not want to stray too far away from the sport. It wasn’t until I started going to physical therapy that I realized that I didn’t have to, so I decided that I wanted to be a physical therapist, to help other people get back on their feet. However, my junior year, we got a new athletic trainer at my high school. So, I decided to ask Mrs. Pam if she would mind if I shadowed her, to learn more about what she did, and how to help other players with their injuries. She agreed, and I spent my junior and seniors years shadowing her. I learned

As I began to realistically consider athletic training as an occupation, Pete assisted me in making an educated decision. One drawback to athletic training is that positions in high-paying professional jobs are limited and highly competitive. Professional sports such as football require very long hours, frequent travel, and working seven days a week. These positions are exceedingly political, and it can be difficult to be an advocate for an injured player while satisfying team management. It is also notable that some players are resistant to athletic injury treatment; this slows recovery time,

Since I was five years old, I have played baseball: a sport I have been passionate about which has led to wish to obtain degrees in sports management and economics in order to have a front office role for a team. I learned from an early age that setting goals for yourself and others derives from having an instilled work ethic along with resiliency and ambition to excel. As being considered a team captain and my position being pitcher, I sought to make those around me better and perfecting craft of my own - control, velocity, and movement. Being deemed as a crafty-lefty and a kid who possessed talent that seemed to be a rarity to few, I pushed myself vigorously which ultimately, caused myself to suffer an injury to my ulnar nerve inside my elbow.

Tyler is hard working to the extreme and has never taken the easy way out of anything. My brother is a masonry meaning he lays bricks and fixes houses and building. He even builds houses’s. Tyler does the first and the second shift because he never passes opportunities up. He has left the house by 6:30 a.m. everyday and doesn’t return home till around 8:00p.m. doing a full day’s work. That’s over a 14 hour shift, and he’s only 19. These are some of the many reasons Tyler my brother is my Michigan Hero.

As a result, I have suffered several minor injuries, including a concussion that required treatment. I have seen many orthopedic doctors and physical therapists over the years and had the opportunity to volunteer and later work with PT Solutions, a physical therapy clinic while in high school. All of my experiences with these medical professionals sparked my interest in pursuing a career in medicine. My goal is to one day become an orthopedic surgeon and focus on treating athletes. This career combines my passion for helping others and working alongside athletes. While this goal will take time to accomplish, I believe my investment in the Athletic Training program at UGA will allow me the opportunity to do what I love for a

My experience also enabled me to understand how an individual’s mentality, anatomy, and body movements can contribute to the overall progress of healing as it requires a lot of patience and motivation. Therefore, pursuing a degree in Kinesiology would be my greatest desire as I want to help individuals heal through methods of physical movements and because I believe it encompasses two of my favourite subjects, science and physical education. Throughout my experience in high school, my interest in health and physical activities has only grown stronger. As an illustration, over the past four years, I have been involved in various sports such as the varsity girl’s soccer team, varsity girl’s flag football team, and badminton

Most of the Athletes at Travis have had many setbacks in their lives, coming from the same background as these young adolescents Coach Eric Casas and I are well aware of the many challenges

The medical field had crossed this competitors mind a time or two, but was never anything serious. An elective credit was needed to complete the semester, so this fragile freshman decided to sign up for the athletic trainer course. Reed had no awareness of what was in store for the future. This novice trainer stood on the side lines during every football season, hydrating the players, taking care of sprained ankles, injured wrists, and finally a broken femur. It was then, junior year, that this novice trainer became a future paramedic. High school ended in December 2002, when this early graduate walked across the stage and the forthcoming journey began.

So, in this next session there are a few classes that he isn't as familiar with and he has been having me shadow him and contact others within the Y to see if they will volunteer their time to help. This is a surprise to me, not because there is a lot of people that help, but that all of the coaches and instructors, that aren't Tyler, are mostly volunteers. The team work and dedication that some of these individuals have is incredible. Another thing that really surprised me is the amount of time that goes into being a sports coordinator. As the sports coordinator, not only does Tyler create programs and over see them but he hosts middle school activity nights, family nights, he even has a role as a YMCA Spirit leader where he helps pick up dirty towels from bins and takes them to the laundry room as well as going around and seeing if anyone needs

College athletes have worked both on the field and in school for decades for a chance to go pro. Athletes risk their careers for an education in the long run for a hope at getting a deal in a pro league or scoring an education. Athletes know the risk of playing the sport but love the activity enough to stay throughout the years. Playing a college sport is a way for students to receive educations or to be able to go pro in the end or even do both. Over years, players have become successful but some were not so fortunate after injuries that left them unable to play. Students know risk of playing a sport from the time they first start playing the sport. From 1988 through 2004, there were 200,000 injury reports, this data includes when an athlete misses a day or more of practice or competition, which

Life can change in a split second when an unanticipated injury or disease hinders someone’s normal daily life. Modern medicine, physicians and families can only do so much but physical therapy can help recoup the life many of us take for granted. It often isn’t until we lose something that we as humans realize what we had such as the value of our body’s ability to take us through each day. A physical therapist is the person who stays with a patient for the duration of the rehabilitation process. A physical therapist leads the patient through the process of regaining physical strength and helps the patient regain control of their future. Much like many careers that involve interaction with individuals, physical therapy reaches beyond
