Education and Training Requirements
High School
Participation in sports while in high school, either as an athlete or as assistant trainer or manager for a school team, is a good way to learn more about sports training. Take classes in physical education, health, anatomy, and physiology. Students with an interest in becoming athletic trainers will want to become certified in CPR and first aid.
