I'm an assistant athletic trainer at my high school and I see blood ALL THE TIME. I do mainly football though so I can't say anything about other sports, but football is a blood bath most of the time.

[@abifelks8778]

Kennedy Gillespie wrestling as well. So many bloody noses

[@bluejwolf8698]

but football also has all of the dislocations. last week, we had one player dislocate their elbow.

[@napturallyfree5537]

As a athlete who did athletic training in undergrad, like he said it difficult but it is doable ! Go for it but be prepared !!

[@ItsDanny123]

ohh it is difficult alright , but we will survive!

[@napturallyfree5537]

It's Danny what sport do you play ?

[@mellothegamer9721]

Just saw your channel for the first time today. I enjoyed the video. I'm currently a senior in high school and do sports. I do XC, swimming, and track. I want to major in sports medicine/athletic training in college. I want to become an Athletic trainer, because I like being around athletes/coaches, like being around sporting events, I want to learn more on what type of medicine goes into our bodies, want to learn how to prevent and help injuries, and I want to help people/athletes preventing injuries and help them reach their full strength. I just want to help people and keep them healthy. Thinking about either going to a university, or go to a community college for 2 years, then transfer. Thank you for your video. I learned more about their career

[@ItsDanny123]

Appreciate the support! Best of luck!

[@jamalprice8833]

Love this video! Your enthusiasm reminded me why I chose this major. I’m in second semester of freshman year and time management started becoming an issue with working multiple jobs and school. I started having doubts but I’m positive this is what I wanna do!

[@ItsDanny123]

Keep grinding, best of luck!

[@teaganemerson9311]

I am earning a kinesiology major in prep for athletic training which is now a masters at my university. Love being with others with similar interest, only con is the advanced core science classes like chemistry. Looking forward to doing some athletic training related classes!

[@ItsDanny123]

sound amazing! best of luck!

[@madisynnisbell2414]

love your AT vids! I’m starting at Bama in the fall as an athletic training major (at the end of freshman year I get interviewed for the program, my freshman year is the last class they’re taking for the bachelors). I decided on athletic training a while ago and I get worried that I’m not going to like it or it will be too hard, but seeing your vids gets me motivated again and remember why I chose it!

[@ItsDanny123]

Eyy!! Nice and congratulations! Wish you the best of luck as an AT student.

[@jacklynphan1476]

thanks for this video

[@loxo19]

OT. next time i want to see a Juventus FC scarf on the wall!!

[@vaelizakilpatrick2020]

Your videos are great, can you do a video on how you wish you would have laid out your classes?

[@ItsDanny123]

coming soon! especially since i registered for classes next semester already :)

[@vaelizakilpatrick2020]

GREAT! Look forward to watching 👍🏾

[@madisonrunnion5345]

I'm a senior athletic training student and student athlete and working part time as a CNA. It has been very difficult with getting to my own practices then going to a different sport's practice or from work. Granted, I'm a track and field athlete. I have built trust with my coach so that I can practice on my own (high jump athlete, so some practices). I go to a D2 university.

[@ItsDanny123]

woow you are grinding! best of luck :)

[@dominicbehar4322]

I just finished watching your video! I am about to enter my first year of college here in California and majoring in kinesiology. I either want to become an athletic trainer or physio for a professional soccer team. I'd hopefully like to study and work overseas for a team in the future. Is there anything you would say that could give me an idea of how the pathway looks?

[@naseyahcoley8016]

Do you know if Umiami offers internship programs connected to the NFL, or any pro sports leagues?

[@ItsDanny123]

they school directly does not , but the staff do have connections that can get you internships!

[@naseyahcoley8016]

@@ItsDanny123 thank you so much!

[@vedikarathi924]

After graduation , can you work in clinics and private hospitals and treat conditions that are not really sports related like maybe a lower back pain in an normal individual is which not due to a sporting injury ... kindly reply .. thanks

[@ItsDanny123]

yes, some AT's work in hospitals or private clinics!

[@SunKiJaykeHeeSungWon]

What major would you recommend for a person that wants to go into Sport Therapy (A physical therapist for sports teams), or a Team Physician? I want to make it into the big leagues, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Have you ever been reached out to by a pro team for an internship for an athletic training job?

[@jorgezheng5169]

i basically have the same dream: be a physical therapist in the big leagues. im only a senior in high school, but based on my research, i think the best path to take is to get a Bachelor's in Athletic Training, then ideally if you can, get into a dual-degree program that does Master's in Athletic Training and a Doctors in Physical Therapy (MSAT/DPT). if you go to the PFATS directory (NFL's athletic training society), most of the team's medical personnel have MS in Athletic training, while some have a MS and a DPT. im not 100% sure if this is the right path to take, this is only based on my research and what i plan on doing

[@jasonlang9074]

If you want to be a team physician then I’d suggest getting ready or preparing for med school

[@bolterboy]

Exercise physiology is the route you want to go

[@nervewreckerscitycha]

Aye fellow junior AT student

[@ItsDanny123]

hey ! whats up

[@HannahTran1]

Working as an athletic trainer, do you think their work schedules are somewhat flexible? How many hours do you think they work? I’m debating between this or nursing at my university. My school also trains for nfl internships apparently and they are a DI school so ik that will be extremely time consuming.. and I want to balance school with KZbin and even life after school with KZbin. I want to have time to upload every week and ik nursing has really flexible work schedules 😅

[@ItsDanny123]

I think it really depends, but overall if you are working in a traditional setting as an AT like a college or high school, it is not very flexible :/

[@JacobMeza-pro-footballer]

I know you answered the question about the differences in Athletic Training, Kinesiology, and PT, but I’m looking for some advice. I’ve been planning on taking 3 different subjects: Athletic Training, Kinesiology, and Sports Medicine, but was looking to master in all 3. I enjoy all aspects of each subject, but as my career I was looking for something more geared towards athletic training, for example dealing with athletes and competitive sports. I’m still trying to narrow down my career though, would you suggest looking for work as an AT for some sort of athletics corporation based on my majors and interests? Because I don’t really know if I want to be more focused on recovery and injuries, or more on maintaining fitness and peak health for professional level teams. Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you so much.

[@ItsDanny123]

Honestly PT kind of has all those aspects!

[@emilypollard1195]

Do you have to help with the football team or could you work with other sports teams

[@ItsDanny123]

It depends on your program, in my school it's rotation based so we switch every semester!

[@GlowingSkull27]

I was told UM is going to be making their athletic program a masters program instead of an undergrad opportunity. Once they do that, I’m assuming they will let you finish your Bachelors in athletic training?

[@ItsDanny123]

correct! Only two classes left in the undergrad program: Class of 21 and class of 22

[@thomson2386]

Which college to study athletic career

[@ItsDanny123]

there are many!

[@bluejwolf8698]

I'm a high school Athletic Trainer, and I'm deciding whether I should be a Hospital Corpsman or go to college for Athletic Training. Ive done my research for both and im still confused. what do you think?

[@ItsDanny123]

That is really up to you! Both have their pros and cons!

[@robertochavez4389]

What is a major that deals with sport but not so much with broken bones?

[@ItsDanny123]

sports management or sports science

[@UrMom-vo2mt]

Hey man I’m new to the channel and I haven’t decided whether I’d like to be an Athletic Trainer or an actual “sports medicine doctor” I’m a sophomore in high school but I kinda just want to set my goals early in order to work to them I was just wondering what would I make more money in? And how can I decide which is better for me? Also sorry if it was hard to understand I don’t speak English to good

[@ItsDanny123]

honestly sports doctor pays more but it is harder, do what your heart tells you!

[@UrMom-vo2mt]

It's Danny ok thank you!

[@wanad5674]

Hi, do you guys have internship programs at UM even if you’re not a UM student ? I am currently at FAU working on the exercise science program and UM had been my dream. I got accepted to UM with a scholarship but it wasn’t enough to cover tuition costs. If you can provide me the internship liaisons info or whomever i can reach out to , to inquire about this , please and thank you

[@ItsDanny123]

Unfortunately no. UM Athletic Training internships are only for UM AT majors

[@tylermelnicove8191]

Cons: Huge wage disparity compared to other medical professions. ATCs have incredible education and understanding of all things orthopedics and medicine, requiring a masters degree and make next to nothing working 60+ hours a week. Better off going to nursing school for 2 years, getting your RN and landing a job that you’ll make nearly double you would as an ATC...with more mobility and opportunity for growth. I’d do it all over again if I could. Take it from yours truly, an ATC who’s still in debt and graduated 5 years ago. Currently working as a D3 university too.

[@ItsDanny123]

I will be making a PRO & CONS video soon, thanks for sharing this :)

[@djcalix3]

I have a question, I recently graduated with a degree I’m not happy with and I’m trying to go in the path of Athletic Training. Is there anything I can do now as a graduate with her B.s? I was told we could get certifications for Athletic training but I don’t trust advisors anymore hahaha anyone have any tips?

[@ItsDanny123]

Hey! You would have to enroll in an Athletic Training Master's program

[@djcalix3]

It's Danny even if I have a non-medical B.s. background? For instance I graduated with education lol I’m just worried I’d be looked at like a waste of time

[@michaelortiz7924]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@healthandfitnessentreprene7578]

I'm sorry homie but salaries absolutely SUCK and it's costing us athletic trainers. Salaries range between $36,000-$45,000. If you're going into this career thinking that you're going to make a good living you are sadly mistaken. I've been an athletic trainer for 18 years.

[@ItsDanny123]

thank you for the insight !

[@alextheathlete4994]

Pros and cons of Athletic Training don’t do it lol

[@ItsDanny123]

It will be done! hahaha
