Discovering Purpose through Service

“My brothers and I spent most of our lives on an athletic field, where I quicklylearned how important it was for athletes to stay healthy and functional. I learned that if one body part was not working properly that my athletic performance would suffer in all areas. I also saw this in many of the athletes at my school. I wanted to learn how to help these athletes prevent injuries and learn how to make these athletes functional if they did get injured.

The first time I met our athletic trainers, I knew that this is what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I wanted to help get the athletes back functional as safely as
possible. I began talking with the athletic trainers and researching how to best
achieve this goal, and set out to accomplish it.”
