Athletic Training Goals

-

 For my career, I plan on becoming an athletic trainer. An athletic trainer is a healthcare professional who specializes in the prevention and treatment of injuries, typically for physically active people. My goal is to work with professional or division one-level sports. I have been working with the Slippery Rock football team since my freshman year in college. It has been a great experience and I wouldn't wish for anything else. To become an Athletic Trainer, you need to go to graduate school. My choices are either Penn State or staying at SRU because this will give me the best opportunity for networking and gaining the right experience.

    Hey Hunter, that's great that you are looking to be an athletic trainer. That is one of the professions I was looking into when I was searching for colleges. I know many people who have gone to school to be athletic trainers, and they all seemed to love it. Working with the football team is a great experience to help you gain some experience and put your name out there!

Nutrition

 Nutrition is a very important concept for anyone in the Health Education or health care fields. Eating the right foods will improve your body functions and your mental processes. Additionally, drinking the right amount of water will help your body run smoothly and help you not become dehydrated which can severely impact your lifestyle. The amount of calories you eat in a day entirely depends on your goals. If you plan to gain or lose weight in a healthy way, try using a tracker app that tracks the amount of macronutrients and micronutrients you consume in a day. I use My Fitness Pal  and it works great for my goals.

The PAFM summit

-
 For everyone who attends Slippery Rock University and is a part of a Physical Health Education major, Wednesday, October 28th, should be a date you have marked down. This is the day of the PAFM Summit. Once a year, our department does not hold class and instead holds presentations throughout the day that relate to the fields of PAFM. The five fields that we have presenters in are coaching, aquatics, adapted physical activity, outdoor adventure, and fitness. Also, we have a fundraiser going on. The fundraiser is a basket raffle. If you plan to buy tickets, the money will go to the PAFM club, where we use it to hold more events and buy lunch for conferences like this. I hope to see everyone there!
