In recent years, the profession of "sports
trainer" has enjoyed high popularity, especially among
youngsters including high school students, being the prospective
career path many. hope to take. However, in Japan the profession
has only just begun to take root, which means that there are
still many problems with producing sports trainers and finding
them employment. The role of our organization in the future
is to address these issues in such aspects as ensuring actual
applications and career positions, improving the abilities of
students, and offering them motivation to study. Our current
activities include the exposure of students to current trainers
through workshops, increasing the number of students who obtain
the qualification for "athletic trainer" and implementing
our own version of qualifications in the same field.
| ■Special Education Activities |
●Graduation thesis
For a student to complete his or her final year, he or she is
required to complete a final graduation thesis. This thesis
should encompass data from the university and the relevant industries,
and should possess in-depth research with a view to gaining
the highest possible evaluation from industry.
●Overseas training
To enrich students through the global view of sports science and develop their unlimited potential, overseas training is provided. During the overseas training, besides gaining a global view of things, they are also taught new techniques and skills that broaden their views so as to have a sense of confidence when they graduate.
●Field Training
To enrich the practical aspect of the athletic trainer program,
students go through field training practice, using a "trainer
diary".
