I like the teaching. I like seeing students develop and improve their level of skill. Students surprise themselves sometimes and that s exciting to see. It is busy which can be stressful, and I could do without the meetings. Most people come through a physical education or a psychology program.
Some people take a psychology masters but more people take a physical education emphasis.
The field is beginning to change though. Like the NHL where there are a lot of people at the bottom and not many at the top. You ve got to love it, be pretty brave and hope that the Lord will take care of you. I was just there at the right place at the right time. I didn t start off wanting to be a faculty member.
