I have to interiew an athletic trainer and it seems that you do train athletes so I want to ask you the questions. Here they are:
Questions:
1. How did you become an Athletic Trainer?
2. What do you enjoy about being an Athletic Trainer?
3. What kind of schooling did you need in order to become certified?
4. How would you describe your basic workday?
5. What characteristics does somebody need in order to successfully do what you do?
6. Are their times when you become unhappy with your career and if so why?
7. Do you have any regrets about choosing to be an Athletic trainer?
8. How much do Athletic Trainers get paid?
9. How would you describe the intensity of your workday?
10. What are some of the downsides of being an Athletic Trainer?
If you could answer these interview questions I would really appreciate since I dont know any athletic trainers that I could interivew face to face.

Answer Hi Sean. I'm not an athletic trainer so I don't think I am the person you need to speak with. I am licensed as a Chiropractor with Physical Therapy Privileges. Though I do with with many athletes, speaking with a certified athletic trainer would be more appropriate for you.
