Personal Exercise Program For Football
Circuit Training for Football.
Circuit training is a method of training. A circuit usually has 8 to
15 stations, where at each station a different exercise is carried out
for a certain amount of time. Circuit training can improve: - muscular
endurance, cardiovascular endurance, aerobic and anaerobic fitness,
muscular strength, speed and agility.
A circuit-training program may also be designed for a certain sport.
Circuits for this purpose will include exercises to improve all the
muscles and skills associated with football. Example: A circuit
training program for football should include skills like…
Jumping (for a header), dribbling with the ball, shooting, control and
passing.
I am going to plan and perform a personal exercise program using
circuit training as the bases of the skills and fitness required for
football. Circuit training allows these two aspects of my chosen sport
to be incorporated into one single session, it is also easy to set up
and it can allow for improvement to be monitored, which is one of my
aims. The overall aims of my personal exercise program are to:-
1. Improve my muscular strength to help put power in my shots and also
it will improve my dynamic and static strength, which will be useful
when I go up for a header and also change my direction more quickly
with an explosive push-off, increasing my reaction time.
2. To improve the standard that I am currently working at.
3. Develop skills and techniques, so they can be more useful in game
situations.
4. Improve my general fitness.
In order for me to reach my targets I am going to do 2 sessions a week
for 5 weeks, giving 10 sessions in total.

I have many goals as an Athletic Training Student, and continuing my education is the biggest goal in order to be successful in my career and future goals. Eventually, I will earn a doctorate and go on to work at a professional level with a major league soccer team. I also aim to increase the knowledge and awareness of mental health within the field of athletic training.
I would like to enter the University of Charleston’s Athletic Training Program on the basis that I love being around sports and I enjoy working with and taking care of athletes. I first became interested in Athletic Training when I was given a tour of the UNC Athletic Training facility by Kevin Guskiewicz, who is the current dean of UNC College of Arts and Sciences. He was the previous head Athletic Trainer for UNC. After the experience, I quickly enrolled in Athletic Training classes in high school and began to learn the basics for becoming an Athletic Trainer. I loved learning about different injuries and how to treat them because as a student athlete I am very accident prone and figuring out what is wrong with my body is important for my collegiate athletic career. I have also had a dream of working with professional athletes. I have been involved with sports my whole life and have always considered these professional athletes as my role models. By entering University of Charleston’s Athletic Training Program I

Recently, attention has been brought to American football players on the risks of football due to countless concussions and lifelong health problems caused by blows to the head and improper equipment, therefore, the requirements for the equipment should be updated. Not only has the National Football League been found guilty of not realizing it, but the doctors and sports trainers have also. Head trauma early in life can greatly affect you later down the road.

“After 5 months of training I expect to be moderately stronger and more efficient in all areas of activity as well as see a reduction in body fat and an increase in lean body mass.”
Exercise Science is a field of work that is valued by many. There are different paths for different kind of people whether they are interested in personal training, physical therapy, or even some kind of sports coach. The route I would like to take would be Exercise Science for Athletic Training. I want to be an Athletic Trainer because growing up, I loved playing and watching sports. I played baseball for about 2 years, ran track for 3, and played basketball my entire life. After my high school career, I knew that I could not stay involved in sports because all of the injuries I have experienced so I decided I wanted a job that is behind the scenes but still rooted in athletics.
