It is no secret that many personal trainers and fitness professionals were once (and often still are) athletes. And as an athlete, personal trainers know that training for sports is very different than training for other goals such as weight loss and tone, or quality of life improvement. Of course, the training varies as the requirements of sports differ. However, training an athlete for sport performance can be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable client hours for a personal trainer.
As the cost of college keeps rising, more and more parents are looking to personal trainers to help assist their young athletes and improve their sport performance. Also, training professional athletes can be a very rewarding.
Whether it is on a high school field or gym or a professional one, watching the improved performance of the athlete you trained is a great feeling.
