Two Questions:

Are you interested in pursing a career in a medical profession?

Athletic Training is the prevention and care of injuries and illness of physically active individuals. At every level of sports competition, athletic trainers have been providing care for athletes, working directly with doctors and other healthcare professionals, to help athletes return to participation. Athletic Trainers specialize in injury prevention. Heat Illness, Dehydration, Concussion, Sprains, Strains, Injuries requiring Surgery and Rehab; they are all seen in the Athletic Training Room. As long as there are athletes, and physically strenuous jobs, there will always be a need for Athletic Trainers.

Who doesn't love the excitement of a Friday Night under the bright lights of a high school football stadium?
