I just don't get why people like being active rather for their leisure, at workplaces or educational institutions. If I ever want to clear my mind up, heading out to the gym for a workout might do me a favor. In reality, Sports Psychology fits the bill for those who want to participate in clinical interventions and counseling clinics to develop their own cognitive skills.
I have a plan to work in a job that could enhance my own skills.
The freedom to pursue anything I want after college can be a really easy process. It's just a matter of exploring and finding out what works best for me and my own "human mind."
Jumping back to what I was talking about before, taking an interest in Sports Psychology seems pretty unique for a health science major. The differences between both those fields of interests seems to be intriguing right off the bat. For example, working in a clinical lab for health science could open me up to better career options, but finding a job relating to Sports Psychology can most likely only improve my critical thinking skills.
With that being the case, Public Health and Sports Psychology happen to not always mix with each other.
In my case, Sports Psychology does reach out to me, though. To validate these feelings, I did a bit of research on Sports Psychology. I checked out the American Psychological Association website. Once I found the website, I stared wide-eyed at the information available to me. Even better yet, I found an entire section dedicated to counseling.
According to American Psychological Association, counselling is associated with "athletic motivation; eating disorders and weight management; substance abuse; grief, depression..." and the list goes on and on up to a point where I just lay there, blank-faced at my computer screen.
Sports Psychology could actually open me up to new options.
For instance, in 10 years from now, I could potentially find myself working as a sports psychologist. The field of Sports Psychology has the power to open me up to acquire new skills that I wouldn't have if I didn't search for it in the first place. However, who knows what justice that would do if my plan fails? For all I know, it might be easier for me to experience the job as a sports medicine assistant before making smart assumptions beforehand.
