Athletic Training
Megan Maxwell
Honors Mentorship Program
My Mentorship
My name is Megan Maxwell and I am a Senior at North Hall. For my Mentorship, I had the opportunity to shadow alongside an athletic trainer through my high school. I also worked alongside a physical therapist through Atlanta Rehbailitation. Through these experiences, I have grown to love everything about physical therapy and athletic training. Even though I will be attending college to major in Athletic Training, I could possibly go on to earn a Doctorate in Physical Therapy.
My blog for my mentorship is http://meganmaxwellhmp.blogspot.com/
Why Athletic Training?
Prior to this mentorship, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field. I never thought about being a athletic trainer until I started attending University of Georgia sporting events. When I saw what they were doing, I knew that I wanted to know more about this career. I like how this field is a mix of medical knowledge and athletics, which are two things that interest me.
