What advice would you give?

Take the time to think not only about the coursework and the research you will learn about in class, but how you would apply that knowledge in various different scenarios. Think about how to deal with injured athletes, how to deal with athletes with difficulty motivating themselves, athletes that want to question you. You will always face a challenge each day, but the content you're taught is as if you are in a perfect world. Challenge yourself and think about how you will handle those unique scenarios no one is teaching you about.
