The noun, “sport” is defined as, “an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment”.

I might have limited knowledge about the sports that I possess, but I feel that I could learn so much more. There are 20 different jobs in the Kinesiology career and I know if I cant follow one then I have a lot more options. The career as a coach is one of my goals, but as long as I’m in the sports line of work then I will be fine with that. I coached kids from ages five to eighteen which I enjoyed so much.
