Personal Narrative: A Career As A Physical Trainer

Decent Essays
Growing up with an older brother can be very difficult sometimes. For instance, my brother liked to always be picky with everything I was doing. He would say, “Why are you doing that, that’s not right. You should do it this way.” Most of the time it can be helpful but sometimes it is just annoying. This pickyness transferred over to weightlifting. He would always show me the right way to do something and if I did it wrong he would correct me right away. This has helped me want to become a physical therapist or possibly a personal trainer. I want to help people rehab from injuries by showing them the correct techniques on what to do and how to do it.
As a physical therapist or personal trainer there is one major problem that I could solve.
