braces, recognize and evaluate injuries, and provide emergency care. They
rehabilitate hurt athletes and plan programs to prevent injury and illness. They
also perform administrative tasks such as meeting with administrative
officials, keeping records and dealing with sports budgets.

Reflection:
I would like to be one. The job seems really easy. If someone gets hurt you mostly just get them
fixed up and try to care for their wounds or soreness, Which is a good thing. It’s like you’re your own mini hospital and or
clinic.
