CMU Personal Statement

Majority of young people 's lives, they are constantly pondering just which college to attend or what profession is best. In most cases, individuals who attend college are not aware or decided on what major will be pursued. To self reflect and figure out what exactly is the right fit, a large portion of time and effort was spent during the school year to come to the college of choice. As to why it is the best fit in preference, based off research and perception, is the college, Mount St. Joseph, which offers Sports Medicine, and Athletic Training undergraduate degree, and as a major, presides in Cincinnati, Ohio. Information from SparkBox states that

The career of being an Athletic Trainer has many attractive features. They work both indoors and outdoors, work with a group or as part of a team, and they care for the athletes. Athletic trainers work inside when they are working in a gym or in a training facility. They also work outdoors when they work at athletic fields, at sporting events, or practices. Trainers either work with a group of individuals, as part of a sports team, or both. Athletic trainers care for the athletes they work with. They apply first aid when it is needed, help them with workouts, and coach them (“Working Conditions” 1). Features like these are exactly what I am looking for in a career. I like the idea of not working indoors all the time, I want to be outside.

It is believed that the first athletic trainers were present in the Greek and Roman civilizations. Although life then was not as we know it to be today, these trainers also worked with coaches and physicians to help athletes reach their full potential. In 1950, the National Athletic Trainers’ Association was established in Kansas City, Missouri with 101 college athletic trainers. Later, in 1970, the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Board of Certification was established in order to create entry level standards for athletic trainers. Today, athletic training is a widely growing field and is projected to grow “faster than average” in the next couple of years.

Being an athletic trainer in various sports for over five years, Pete has a great deal of insight and suggestions for someone who is interested in the field. As I am now considering a supplementary degree in athletic training, Pete has been exceptionally helpful in guiding me through that world. As many of my courses in Kinesiology also apply to an Athletic Training degree, he proposes that I get another bachelor’s degree, as it would take only a short period of time. In lieu of that option, he recommends that I begin a master’s program in athletic training upon completion of my current degree. Nevertheless, I must first decide if this career is the proper choice by evaluating the negative and positive aspects.

am extremely passionate about developing commutation skills, leadership skills, and a business savvy mind to help me with becoming a college coach. I love tracking statistics, and I am mathematically inclined. The business classes Business Statistics and Entrepreneurial Management are great classes for me because having learned key entrepreneurship skills at Yes Carolina, I believe this can help me interact with people better. I would love to go into women's basketball coaching and commutation and making sure players listen to you is key. I know the Tulane Freeman School of Business has a marketing class, and I know if someone works in marketing they have to convey their message to a business owner why a specific plan is better for there business. With being a basketball coach it is the same aspect you have to bond with the players and communicate with them to build a successful team.

No other subject has genuinely interested me to the same extent as sports and exercise science. Throughout my undergraduate career at UCCS, I took advantage of as many opportunities as possible to volunteer within the Sports Medicine Program. This included helping the graduate assistants with preseason testing of the Lacrosse, Baseball, and Track and Field teams by conducting performance assessments, as well as participating in research studies to gain experience in the field. I am increasingly fascinated by the science of strength and conditioning and the level of excitement I feel when I work with athletes solidifies my aspiration for a future in this career

What interested me the most about Athletic Training is the evaluation and helping to prevent injuries with athletes. When I was younger, I would always pretend to be a nurse with my older sister. I would start asking her questions about her “injuries” or what had happened to her and we would both try to figure out how to solve the problem. I have been a very active and hands-on person since I was little. In high school I am a student athletic trainer and during our athletics period, we always have tasks to do like setting up the field for football practice. After we finish with set-up, I always ask my coach if there is anything else for me that he would like me to do, it is like an everyday thing. Examining the body or body parts is also very interesting to me because I start to learn things I have never known or get to see things that happen to people that I have never experienced in my life. Getting involved more is another thing I like to do and being able to

Studying for a degree in Sport and Exercise Science would not only offer the potential to be at the cutting edge of sports and exercise development, but I expect my learning would raise interesting principles I could apply to my own training and competition, whilst also acting as a stepping stone towards my ambition of working alongside elite sports teams as a head of athletic

I believe that my motivation for improving and strengthening human health, enhanced with the knowledge I will gain in the Exercise Science program, will advance me into an excellent Physical Therapy school. The Exercise Science program will expose me to the responsibilities and skills needed to become successful and confident in my work. Achieving a well educated degree in Kinesiology will enable me to live my passion as Physical Therapist.        At the age of 6, I began a career as a competitive gymnast. Training started out at 15 hours per week, year round, then progressed to 20 hours per week.

I enjoy this because I love sports, and I am not the type of person that can sit still in a desk all day, and type at a computer for hours. I am a person that likes to be active, enjoys an adrenaline rush, engage in conversations with people, help people, but one thing I love the most is to solve a problem or challenge, whether it is mine or someone elses, and see success after all the hard work that was put through to overcome this challenge. In researching athletic training and physical therapy programs, I learned that in your junior and senior year of college course work would include clinical experience, which allows me to get out of the classroom and into real life situations. As with anything in life, there is no such thing as perfection, so there are pros and cons in every situation. The pros of attending the University of North Carolina are being in a region of the country I enjoy, having nice weather, being in the country, and having family down there with me. On the other hand, the cons of attending the University of North Carolina are there acceptance rate to out of state students and the cost of the education there to out of states students. Likewise, I hope that if I am accepted and able to play volleyball for UNC I will make an impact on people, not just on the team, but on other people on campus, in my classes, or the patients that I will treat and help them get

There are many, many career paths you can take in the Sports and Physical Education Field, some require you to be physically fit while others require you to have abundant knowledge about sports and physical education. All of the career options you may choose from are diverse and help promote good physical and mental health. Without our nutritionist, physical education teachers, personal trainers and other hardworking people in this field, some people wouldn’t have the passion they have for athletics. People in this field help the people they work with jump over so many boundaries and accomplish so many things. “There’s nothing better than an uncomfortable moment because in that moment we’re incredibly aware of ourselves” -Michael Gervais,

I’m writing to tell you that I have finally made up my mind and chosen Athletic Training as my major here at UND. I realize this probably sounds crazy, but be assured in the fact that I’ve done my homework and this career looks promising for me. Before you freak out, let me tell you about everything I’ve learned about this profession so far.

I am not one hundred percent positive, but I am pretty sure I want to major in Physical Education. There are many problems and dilemmas facing professionals in Physical Education. Problems range from poor facilities to kids not receiving proper treatment in the class. I think the biggest problem is the poor facilities.

When growing up, most kids want to be a doctor, a rockstar, or in Rebecca’s case-a vet. But, when junior year of high school came around, Rebecca reevaluated her plans, like many do. This time Rebecca decided to follow a career in physical therapy. She figured this way she could get a bachelor’s degree, get a job, then go back to school. Since then, Rebecca has fallen in love with athletic training and all it’s aspects. She is now in her final year here at Michigan State University.
