YOUR WORLD IN SPORT AND EDUCATION - Wintec

YOUR FUTURE IN SPORT – SCIENCE AND DEVELOPMENT
SO WHAT WOULD I DO ALL DAY?
That depends on the area you decide
best fits your goals and interest.
SPORT COACHES spend their days helping individual
athletes and teams improve their sporting skills.
Your day could include helping athletes learn
the rules of a sport, advising on tactics and the
psychology of a sport, organising practice sessions
and competitions, developing training programmes,
identifying and encouraging talented players,
selecting teams, ensuring player safety and looking
after sports equipment.
A PHYSICAL TRAINING INSTRUCTOR guides,
teaches and supports clients to maintain and
improve their fitness levels. They also run adventure
and survival training exercises. So your day could
see you running training classes either in the gym or
outdoors, testing individual fitness levels, designing
fitness programmes and looking after exercise and
sports equipment.
If the impact of nutrition on performance interests
you then so will a career as a WELL-BEING AND
SPORTS NUTRITIONIST. Providing nutritional
advice to maximise performance and well-being for
athletes, sports teams, and individuals interested in
fitness and health.
Helping restore function and independence to
someone with a disability or problem caused by
physical, neurological or other disorders is the role
of a REHABILITATION TRAINER. Over the course of
a day you may assess and diagnose patients’ injuries
or functional problems, use a range of treatments
to reduce their pain and improve movement, plan
and demonstrate exercises for patients to do
themselves, keep a record of their progress, and
educate clients on how to prevent further injury.
As a dedicated SPORTSPERSON you will be
laying your body on the line everyday. You’ll be
training, developing your skill set, consulting with
health professionals, competing nationally or
internationally, maybe captaining a team,
addressing community groups and interacting
with the media.
“The Wintec course not only gave us
knowledge but also fantastic practical
experience in industry. The course was
so good that we choose most of our
employees from the Wint ec Sport
and Exercise course.”
