tell me!
Why did you choose this department?
In addition to injury care, I want to support them even after they return to play.
I was torn between becoming a social studies teacher and becoming a trainer, but my parents told me to "do what you love," so I decided to pursue that path. I chose this department because I wanted to support athletes even after they recovered from injuries.
Resort＆Sports College Top Recommendation Points
Psychology, which has interesting effects on mind and body.
I learned that understanding the psychology of athletes is helpful in creating an environment where they can concentrate and in preventing injuries. My impression that sports is a subject far removed from my interests has been completely overturned, and I'm now very interested in it.
Please tell me your dreams for the future!
I want to be involved in the functional recovery of various people.
What I want to focus on now is conditioning care. I want to become a trainer who can provide multifaceted support to people of all ages, including functional improvement and psychological support.
