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, 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.

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.

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.

YOUR FUTURE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

SO WHAT WOULD I DO ALL DAY?That depends on the environment you prefer to work in.

An EARLY CHILDHOOD TEACHER spends their

days educating and caring for young children in

kindergartens, kohanga reo, homebased childcare,

education review office, Ministry of Education or

education and care centres. Your day could include

planning daily programmes, implementing

Te Whariki - the early childhood curriculum,

assessing children’s progress and discussing it

with parents or caregivers and other education

professionals, making learning resources, and if

you’re a kaiako in kohanga reo, helping children learn

te reo Maori, and tikanga Maori.

If working in a home environment appeals to you

then chances are so would a career as a NANNY.

In this role you’d be responsible for the care, well-

being and education of infants, toddlers and children

in a home enviroment. Your day could see you

feeding, washing and dressing children, consulting

with their parents/whanau on their learning and

development, organising daily activities, driving

children to and from school and other pastimes,

planning and preparing meals, taking care of

everyday household chores and caring for sick

children in the home.

You can work as a Nanny anywhere in the world.

Deciding what you want to study

is a big decision, and its not easy!

So here’s an idea. Forget about

what and where you should study,

and think solely about you. Your

personality. The way you learn

best. Your strengths, abilities,

particular likes and perhaps most

importantly, the sort of world you

want to end up in. Know yourself

- thats the best way to start

narrowing down your options.

Wintec offers activities to

help you through this process.

Visit www.findyourfit.co.nz to

complete an online questionaire

about you. Find your fit will make

career suggestions based on your

answers.

Here’s another little activity you

could try - but remember, its just

to get you thinking, don’t take the

results too seriously!
