Wrote this for a Physical Education course :
Careers In Sports Medicine and Exercise Science
There are a few careers in physical education that I am currently interested in. The first one would be becoming a sports trainer for a high school. The second one would be becoming a physical therapist. Another career that I would be interested in would have to be that of a physical education teacher. There are number of factors that influence my decision to want to pursue either of these three careers.
One of the main if not the only reason I want to be a sports trainer for a high school Is that I had an injury when I was a junior in high school and there was a trainer at my school who really helped me rehabilitate my injury and get back into the soccer field. He showed me various ways of stretching, used to ice my knee and then applied the electrodes for electroshock therapy. All of these things help with my recovery speed up. I was back in the game within the month. I learned a lot from him and that is when my interest in physical education and sports science began.
Another of the reasons that I would like to be a trainer for a high school is that I really enjoy high school sports, especially soccer, football and basketball. Not only would I be there to help the athletes but I would also get to enjoy the games that they are participating in. One more reason I think I would be a good fit for this career is that I do know quite a bit about sports but I would also learn more about the games themselves in what causes players to be injured. It's kind of like doing research for a field that already interests you while being in that field.
One other career I could see myself pursuing would be the career of a PE teacher better known as a physical education instructor. Over the years I have had some excellent physical education instructors who taught me quite a bit about sports, sports, science, stretching, proper rehabilitation, and who provided various other forms of encouragement and guidance. Were it not for a couple of my PE teachers I would have not joined cross country or soccer. The influence they had over me is something to behold. I would not pass up the opportunity to mold some young minds into becoming great athletes of the future. One other valid reason for me to want to become a PE teacher is that they get to wear comfortable athletic clothes and shoes while at work and who doesn't enjoy that?! It's important to be comfortable while at work and if your work involves sports well, you can definitely be comfortable and sport attire and able to do your job properly.
The final career choice that I would more than likely pursue over the other two even though I do have interest in the other ones, would be the career of physical therapist. The main reason for me to want to pursue a career in this field is because of my dad who is disabled. He has had many physical therapists over the years. All of them excellent people and even better professionals. I see the work that they do and how much they help people and it makes me want to become part of that field. I see the difference that they make with my father and with other patients at the rehabilitation facilities, and I really do see myself being a part that success one day. Being able to share in some of the delight that I've seen in my own dad 's face or another patients, now talk about fulfilling! Eventually, maybe I could also become my dad's personal physical rehabilitation therapist full time. My dad is paraplegic and I hope to one day see him walk again. He is trying occupational therapy and physical therapy and he really wants to achieve that goal one day; would love to be a part of making that dream a reality! 0 reply
