Athletic Trainer

Duties and Responsibilities: The basic role of an Athletic Trainer is preventing and treating injuries of athletes. Once an athlete is injured, the trainer often works daily to help that athlete rehabilitate to full strength. Trainers educate players on proper techniques in exercise, and in their sport, to avoid injury. While trainers work with coaches and athletes daily, they typically are under the supervision of a licensed physician. 

Salary: $40,302

Education: The minimum requirement for most athletic trainer position is a bachelor’s degree, but many of these professionals have a graduate degree. The curricula include science and health-related subjects such as nutrition, kinesiology, biomechanics, and exercise physiology.
Experience requirements include supervised time in clinics and internships, which may be with a college or local professional sports teams.

Reflection: I wouldn’t like to be an athletic trainer because I’m not into sports and I’m not athletic. Id like to have a job in something that I love to do and have a passion for and taking care of athletic isn’t something I would like to do.
