Chris’s Answer

If you want to help athletes when they are injured, it sounds like you want to become an athletic trainer. As athletic training is an entry-level masters, you’re going to need an undergraduate degree in a related field, such as exercise, science or kinesiology and then complete the masters of athletic training program.
I am the director of clinical education for athletic training at Northern Kentucky University. Here, we have a 3+2 program that lets you complete both degrees one year earlier than if you completed them separately.
To answer your question, courses in biology, human anatomy and physiology, physics, chemistry, statistics, and strength and conditioning are all good choices as they are prerequisites to any athletic training program.

Chris recommends the following next steps:
