Hello There!,
I want to speak to the Sports Medicine side of your question. I have my undergraduate degree in Sports Medicine. I want to first say, the degree is quite linear by name. I would seek to perhaps decide what would want to do with your degree. I think that people have the wrong idea of what Sports Medicine is because of what the name suggest or rather insinuates. Associate Degree by their very nature are technical degrees so this by their very extension you will learn technical skills and be a technician earning technical pay. This doesn’t suggest bad pay or bad position, just that they will be terminal in their natural and that you will be limited in what you can do with them. To go beyond the term Sports Medicine at the Undergraduate Level you have your physician which is an entirely different conversation which involves the undergraduate medical school and of course residency and specialization. There doesn’t exist a masters or doctorate in sports medicine to my knowledge. To the point, sports medicine teaches skills that are also available in other degrees that are more hirable and have better pay such as athletic training, kinesiology, and exercise science. These degree I’ve listed do have different career but they also pay differently. My doctoral focus is kinesiology but I will say I was very limited in my profession with a sports medicine bachelors because in truth it was non medical. You learn next to nothing in terms of real medicine, only theory. I don’t want to discourage you from getting the degree but you will find yourself needing more education to be employable next to your peers unless you find a niche job within the athletic community. It is hard to stand out otherwise.

Choosing the "best" college for a kinesiology program depends on individual preferences, goals, and location. Some renowned institutions with strong kinesiology programs include the University of Michigan, University of Texas at Austin, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, but thorough research should guide your choice. Maintaining effective study habits involves creating a structured schedule, finding a conducive environment, setting clear goals, employing active learning techniques, staying organized, seeking help when needed, and prioritizing rest and a healthy lifestyle. To enter the sports medicine field in high school, focus on relevant coursework, gain volunteer experience, participate in related extracurricular activities, maintain a strong academic record, network with professionals, consider certifications like CPR, and emphasize physical fitness. As you progress, you can refine your interests within sports medicine and tailor your education and experiences accordingly.

Hello Hannah!
Even though my major wasn't Kinesiology, I'm acquainted with a few folks who pursued it in Texas. The ones that immediately come to mind are TAMUC, UTA, and PVAMU, along with UT-Tyler, all of which offer excellent Kinesiology programs.
One of the most effective strategies for success in college is to find a social circle that shares your ambitions. This could mean locating a study partner and sticking to the study routine you both agree upon. Typically, you'd find this person in your class. Sharing notes, posing questions to each other, and studying consistently can significantly boost your performance in various areas.
My own study partner in college was from a different major, but we made it a point to visit the library together almost daily and work side by side. Remember, community plays a crucial role in college life, so keep that in mind in all your college activities. Additionally, many college courses have a TA (Teaching Assistant), usually an upperclassman or grad student, who is there to support not just the professor, but you as well. TA's often conduct office hours and study sessions after class which you can attend. I'd recommend identifying the classes that have a TA and make it a point to attend their study sessions.
Finally, you can gain practical experience in Sports Medicine during high school by taking on the role of a trainer or manager for your school's sports team. In my high school, the trainers would assist the Certified Trainers with tasks like wraps, food, and overall player health. This could be a great way to gain some hands-on experience while still in high school.
Best of luck with your future pursuits!
