I’m willing to bet that if I went up to ten random people, that few to none of them would really know what an Athletic Trainer does. Most people are not educated about the role of Athletic Trainers because they are relatively new to the health care system. I believe that education is the key to making Athletic Training even more successful than it already is. For example, most of the club sports players at Towson have no idea that they can visit the Athletic Training clinic. I’ve heard the phrase “do no harm” so many times, but the possibility to do good decays exponentially when people don’t know what Athletic Trainers do and when those who should have access to this form of health care don’t know that they do. Though educating others about Athletic Trainers is one of my goals, it is not the main reason I want to become one. I want to be an Athletic Trainer because I…

Some kids in middle school don’t play sports at all and are missing out on all the fun of sports. ”And soccer is a good way to get strong muscles, bones, and joints. ’’(sports participation as predictors of participation in sports and physical fitness activities in young adulthood)(Perkins,2014) Not only that instead of going home after school, you are out on the field running, sweating, and increasing your strength and stamina. This is not my only reason, if you want to know more on why we should have a middle school soccer team…

Although many weight trainers have gone through great lengths to dispel the myths related to weight training for women, the negative connotations associated with it never really seem to go away. There’s a lot of controversy surrounding weight training and the effects it may cause on the female body.

Nearly 65% of children say they participate in sports to be with their friends (Statistic Brain). Sports were established so that the individual could not only exercise, but also to compete against a rival. Just as there are individual sports, there are team sports in high school. The idea of a team sport is that every single person on the field or court must work in unison to have the greatest opportunity to win. In addition to the increasing popularity of sports, the average child’s age when they join a team is decreasing. For example, the age that a child joins a basketball team has shifted from fourth grade to first grade or even kindergarten in the past decade. School is the primary factor when you review the participation in athletics,…
High School sports have always been questioned because of all the health risks that they bring to those who participate in them. As of now High School sports are still a major part of High School and large amount of students do them. However, many claim the pros outweigh the cons, meaning that people shouldn’t be so concerned about what “could” happen. Not only do sports keep the students healthy and active, they bring a social aspect that can’t be found anywhere else, and the odds of being injured aren’t high and can happen to anyone.…
The realm of athletic training is an interesting field. Athletic trainers have a unique opportunity to not only to evaluate injuries, prevent injuries, and providing immediate health care, but they are also able to invest and encourage their athletes or patients they are caring for. Having the chance to see athletes at their lowest point in their career and being able to build them back to physical health and having a better self-efficacy is what brings me the most joy.…
Physical education is required in every American high school. Physical education programs engage students in regular physical activity and help students acquire skills and habits necessary to pursue an active lifestyle. There is evidence showing that Physical education can promote better classroom learning by keeping kids more on task and improving concentration. Physical education not only provides physical activity that can help a child in the short-term, but it can also teach students the behavioral and movement skills that will help them be physically active later in life. There are many reasons why physical education should be required, but perhaps the most important are that Physical education is good for one’s health, helps relieve the students stress, and it helps students develop healthy habits.…
