My professional philosophy for athletic training encompasses four main areas, which are the value of the profession, role of education, ethical behavior and relationship to others. I included these areas in my professional philosophy because I believe that they encompass aspects that help structure your actions and the manner in which you carry yourself.

Energy Balance When someone thinks of diet, we think of weight loss and more energy.

For example, a defender will usually sprint and then stop, walk, jog and then sprint again in order to get the ball from the opposing team.…
Since the time of the Greeks and Romans, wrestlers have competed both on the battle field and at home to see who will win. Many sports advertise challenging competition similar to that of wrestling, but very few can follow through with these promises. This happens because these other sports do not build themselves on set standards such as mental and physical strength and technique. These important parts of wrestling have set it apart for centuries. As a wrestler, I know that these standards make wrestling not only a sport, but a lifestyle.…
