When I was a teenager, I took a real interest in bodybuilding. I read a lot of magazines like Muscle and Fitness, Flex, and others, and I hoped that I would look like Arnold Schwarzenegger someday. He was my hero and inspiration, and I used him for motivation when it came to my workouts.
But after a car accident in 2002, my dreams of being a professional bodybuilder were shattered. The damage that was done to my body was going to prevent me from ever doing any heavy lifting again, so it was time for me to rethink my game plan. I was in college at the time in kinesiology, so I considered pursuing this path further.
Now, I am just finishing up my Human Movement Graduate degree online and I have a job lined up to work with Olympic athletes to help them perfect their performance. I am really looking forward to it and it should be a rewarding experience especially when we get to go to the games.
Though I won’t be able to be a bodybuilder, helping athletes to maximize their performance will be really rewarding. I will be able to share my experiences and what I have learned from my degree from ATSU to help them be the best they can be.

What a great story. I want to work in sports medicine, too. Now I want to check out getting a degree in Human Movement.
I'm getting an online degree in Human Movement right now and I'm really excited about all the opportunities it offers. My dream is to work for a pro sports team, but working with Olympic athletes would be cool, too.
There's another good reason for getting an online degree in Human Movement: you can work with dancers. Since I have an undergrad degree in Dance, that's what I plan on doing later.
My sister's got a degree in Kinesiology. I'm definitely going to have her read this blog. A Human Movement degree might be a good choice for her.
I know I'll never be a bodybuilder myself, but working with bodybuilders would be interesting, I think. Gotta check out this degree in Human Movement.
Getting a degree online is really convenient, especially when you can get a degree in a medical specialty like Human Movement. This is a degree that I think a person can do a lot with, especially working with athletes or disabled people.
This is interesting, Didn't know a degree like the Human Movement degree existed. Now, maybe I can do something with my degree in Kinesiology besides teaching little kids to dance.
Human Movement seems to be a hot field in medicine right now, I guess because it has so many different applications. I didn't know you could get a degree like that online, either. I'll have to check out the ATSU website.
Wow, I started out feeling sorry for this blogger, but now I feel envious. Working with Olympians must be awesome. I'm getting my degree in Sports Medicine, but now I think I'll check out ATSU's Human Movement graduate program. Getting a degree online sounds good, too.
