Also, they help people to examine them for their sport. For example, say you injure yourself and you did not go to an athletic trainer they can help you get healed faster. Or if you did they can correct your mistake and make sure you do not get hurt.

I chose this career because I am very athletic. I like to run, bike, and swim. I think that I would make a good athletic trainer. I wanted something to do with athleticism because that is what I am into.

To be an Athletic Trainer you need four years of schooling after four years of college. That is a bachelors degree.

An Athletic Trainer is a Life Science Career. This is Life Science because you help people in daily life and help them improve in their sport and their injuries.

Something interesting about an Athletic Trainer is that they work in a variety of things. They work in Professional and Collegiate Sports, Secondary and Intermediate Schools, Sports medicine clinics, Hospital ER and rehab clinics, Occupational Settings, Performing Arts, Law Enforcement and Military, and Physicians Offices.
