Salary: $35,000 to $75,000 per year.
Education: “Minimum requirement for most athletic trainer positions is a bachelor's degree, but many of these professionals have a graduate degree. Athletic training bachelor's programs incorporate classroom and hands-on learning. The curricula include science and health-related subjects, such as nutrition, kinesiology, biomechanics and exercise physiology. Experience requirements include supervised time in clinics and internships, which may be with a college or local professional sports teams”.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?
I wouldn’t like to be one because I don’t like the medical area in which they work that is mostly on fields and also because I BELIEVE I am not good at attending these types of injuries .
