1.
Educating and aiming to protect
players from further damage
I love treating people, but it gives
greater satisfaction when I can educate my clients to enable them to take steps
to improve their health on their own.
2.
The people you meet
I have met some wonderful people throughout
my time working and look forward to meeting many more interesting people. I
absolutely love listening to old stories told by client’s and learning
different things from each of them.
3.
Helping others
I like to help people. I always have
and I always will. Seeing a client improve or having one tell you they are now pain
free makes my day!
4.
The places you travel
Despite waking up at 4.30am for some
away games and the eventful University American Football journeys I have been
on, I love visiting new places. It's just another mini adventure for me! I even
love those freezing cold snowy days on the side-lines when I can't feel my toes
or fingers. Being outside and able to watch sport is an ideal weekend activity
for me, so combined with doing the job I love, it is a winning combination!
5.
Family and friends
At all the clubs/teams I have been
involved in, I have been welcomed and made to feel as part of one big family.
With my first team (Teesside University Cougars), it felt like I had 30 big
brothers who would look after me. I have made some lifelong friends (young and
old) while being part of these teams and am forever grateful for their support
promoting me and my work.
6.
Continuous learning
In this job, you never truly leave
education. To hold onto my professional insurance and membership, it is a
requirement to continue my professional development. However, as you might be
aware within this job, you will constantly be returning to books and journal
publications to seek new ways of treatments or to investigate further into an
injury. I absolutely love this, as since leaving university I miss the
deadlines, which I guess it is part of the reason I write this blog. Yey to
learning!
