If you鈥檝e ever seen a sports game on television, then you鈥檝e seen athletic trainers in action. They鈥檙e the Rangers of sports medicine; the first ones on the field after an athlete takes an especially bad hit, falls, and lies waiting to be carried off of the field.
Athletic trainers aren鈥檛 doctors, but you can bet that almost any sports doctor has one nearby. As an Athletic Training major your primary focus will be on the injuries鈥攖he bruises, broken bones, and pulled muscles鈥攕ustained by athletes in the heat of combat. If you鈥檝e ever played a sport, or injured yourself while playing one, then you鈥檒l know that the expertise and skills that an athletic trainer uses to help mold you back into shape are invaluable. Athletic Training majors are trained in the art and science of healing our bruised and broken bodies. They work in high schools, colleges, and, of course, professional sports organizations.
