What type of training program do you use for yourself?
"While taking a course in therapeutic techniques, I decided to create a simple plan for myself to follow. I have been utilizing this plan for the past three months and enjoy it! When I am in my first full-time clinical placement, it is a program I will use for my clients with basic therapeutic needs."
"I hired a colleague of mine to create a personalized plan for me. This plan encompasses nutrition, exercise, and stretching."
The interviewer would like to know that you 'walk the walk' when it comes to athletic training and body care. As an athletic trainer, you should believe in your services enough to use them for yourself. Talk to the interviewer about your own personal regimen.
"I have a knee injury from playing hockey as a teenager. Personally, I follow my own regiment of stretching and exercise. I also find that a diet full of antioxidant-rich foods helps to prevent inflammation of the area. I do believe that it's important for my patients to see that I follow my advice as well."
