Physical Therapist / Athletic Trainer ??

(2 discussions)

I was wondering if anyone could give a bit of information. My daughter is a Junior in HS and lives and breathes soccer since she was 8. She is looking into careers and thought about physical therapy, but would rather work just as much outdoors at events as inside. She was wondering about “Athletic Trainers” and what is involved as opposed to “physical therapist”?? Can anyone help or steer us where we can get more information on this and all requirements.We though that many here being in the field you someone may know all differences and a bit about them both. Feel free to email me if anyone is knowledgeable about it! Thanks! Sincerely,Doug Nixon

    Doug, I would be happy to speak to you (and to your daughter) about the various options available to her. Since it would be far easier to simply talk by phone, I will send you a personal email with my home phone number. Scott
