Sports Medicine Pathway Essay

Sports has always been a huge part of my life. I would be the one team player who took the sports season a little bit too seriously. I was the number 1 doubles player on my school's JV tennis team. Unfortunately, I fractured my ankle during my junior year and wasn't able to play with my team. I was devastated, but I didn’t allow myself to become disconnected from my team. I became the team manager to allow myself to still play a role in my team, despite my injury. I would record scores to my division leaders and take pictures to post on the website I created for my team. After the season was over, my doctor told me my ankles required surgery to become fully healed. I knew that meant I couldn’t continue to play tennis, but I didn’t want to give

Many things were accomplished because of the French Revolution from better prices to less legal privileges for nobility. The Haitian Revolution also had unbelievable results, like ending slavery and creating more social equality. The French and Haitian Revolutions were mostly similar. Both revolutions did end up with different governments in the end, Haiti a dictatorship, and France a monarchy. Though the reason for the revolutions were the same.

This year the opportunity to look into my future arose, and I acted on it. I was given the opportunity to job shadow an athletic trainer at Northwest Nazarene University. Athletic trainers, or ATs, are health care professionals that work alongside physicians to provide preventative care, emergency aid, clinical diagnosis, and rehabilitation to injuries. I have chosen to study this career because I have been involved in athletics since the fifth grade, and I want to stay involved in athletics for a very long time.

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.

Injury is a serious public health issue. Injuries differ by their nature and severity. Injuries can be unintentional or intentional. Unintentional injuries include road traffic injuries, falls, burns, drowning, poisoning, and intentional injuries include self-inflicted injuries, interpersonal violence, and war-related injuries [1,2,3]. Globally, injury causes over five million deaths per year [1,2,3]. Injury cases result in more deaths than HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined (3.8 million) [1,3,4]. Nonfatal injuries represent a large proportion of the injury burden and deaths represent a small proportion [4]. Most injuries result in significant psychological trauma, potentially life-long disability, and subsequent financial loss [4].

Animal Farm written by George Orwell is meant to be the Russian Revolution but with animals. These animals allowed me to pick out lessons that no other book would. The lessons were to stay away from corruption, to stay away from absolute power, and what the use of propaganda can do. Propaganda is used for convincing someone or something, but when a person holds all of the power in his hands it is for themselves and not his people or in this case animals. These three lessons damaged the story the most because of Napoleon and the way he abused his power.

One question that athletes ask is, why cant they play in big games as well as they anticipate themselves doing? Sports psychologists feel that spending all their time on body conditioning and athletic skills will not ensure that athletes reach their peak performance.

I remember fracturing my ankle once from a soccer injury. I took around a month or two to rehabilitate my injury. The physician was able to answer all the questions I had as well as teach me how to walk again after removing my cast. His knowledge of the body and how fast he could recall the information fascinated me. Of course there is also my mother who is a nurse, and she also wants me to be a doctor. In addition to that, my passion to help people added on to my curiosity of pursuing a life in the medical field. It was not until I took Honors Biology 1 with Professor Do at IVC that my interest in biology was made certain. I originally wanted to be a clinical psychologist, but the reason I strayed from it was because I wanted to deal with
