Your Page management athletic training and something to do with cheerleading I am intrested in this career becuse i love dealing with people and i am very social and when people are hurt or in pain i try to do whatever i can to help them out. My intrest in this began when I started cheer and my wrist was really sore from all the stunting. My pain wouldnt go away even from couple of days of icing and the athletic trainer helped me and diognosted the problem for me. she got me right back out on the mat recovered and i no how greatful i was and how i want to help people and make them feel the same way i felt that day. My coach is one of my biggest role models and he minored in athletic training and just how he can strech people to increase there flexibility with a certin move in a couple weeks and tape people up so things that hurt really bad are barable. I hope to find out how much i can be paid for this job and what colleges i would want to go to offer the majors for this job. There are lots of things important to me as i think of this career such as where i would work. I would never want to be couped up in a office or cubical all day i would want to be out side a lot of the time and probably and be a very nice weather all the time. It is vert appealing that i will get to help players and athletes out with there athletic problems. I am kind of concered about the toughness of the career choice cause i have heard athletic training is pretty difficult.

I learned alot from looking up the information on athletic training. I was correct i read some blogs say that it is a very tough profession but it if fun. A lot of athletic trainers now a days dont settle with just the bachelor's degree they get their master's or doctoral degree. I also learned that they help with a lot more then just athletes hurt or need to be streched. They also teach how to exercise to improve balence and strength and use the exercise equipement correctly. Not only do they help after someone is injured but they also try to prevent the injury.
