If you have a physically active lifestyle, you might be wondering what career paths are available to you. Your physical requirements could be anything from being a cardio junkie to a professional athlete.

Nonetheless, don't let your passion limit your career choices – while paving your career path might take a little more work, they are opportunities that can produce satisfying and lucrative benefits.

Here are some job ideas for people with a physically active lifestyle.

Professional Athlete

The obvious choice for a physically active person is in sports. Professional athletes have been making a living in their respective fields for decades. Many athletes, such as all-star basketball players and professional golfers, can make well into the six-figure mark in their careers.

Of course, every profession has its drawbacks: injuries could end your career early or take you out of commission until you recover; plus, there is always the risk that you won't make it to the big leagues.

If you're an aspiring athlete, training is critical – both for your body and your education. Try to take courses that teach you how to stay healthy and fit and research careers that may be available in your area.

Professional sports teams also offer fitness, media, sales, and nutrition jobs. Depending on the company you contract with, you might be able to attend college while working for them.

 

College Coach/Instructor

While coaching at an academic institution isn't always a career choice for people who want to stay physically active – it can be a rewarding experience.

In many cases, coaches have to be mental and physical examples of their sport. They also have to recruit students who can make a positive contribution to the team itself.

Being a college coach/instructor is an excellent choice for people with a physically active lifestyle because it usually involves some teaching. Coaches are often required to take continuing education courses to keep their skills sharp – thus allowing them time for physical activity in between lessons.

Professional coaches/instructors may also be required to attend conferences where they can network with other professionals.

 

Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor

If you're physically active, one career option you might want to consider is becoming a personal trainer or fitness instructor. These professions allow you to help others achieve their fitness goals while staying active.

Personal trainers typically work one-on-one with their clients, helping them create customized workout plans and providing motivation and support. Fitness instructors usually lead group classes, which can be a great way to stay fit and make new friends.

Both personal trainers and fitness instructors typically need to be certified. It usually involves taking online CEC courses and passing a certification exam. Nonetheless, working as a personal trainer or fitness instructor can be rewarding both financially and emotionally.

 

Sports Journalism

If you're a die-hard fan, consider becoming a sports journalist. As more and more people become interested in the professional leagues, there is an increasing need for news coverage of teams and players.

Sports journalists might work for print or online publications; they may also be required to take photos or videos at events to capture important moments.

Sports journalists need to be knowledgeable about their particular sport, but they also need to handle the pressure of deadlines and stay on top of current events.

 

Outdoor Recreation Management

If you find yourself enjoying the great outdoors, you might want to consider a career in outdoor recreation management.

Recreation managers are responsible for overseeing activities on nature preserves and other protected lands. Their job duties may include teaching wilderness skills, planning, leading tours, and creating educational programs about the environment and wildlife.

Outdoor recreation managers need to have a bachelor's degree in outdoor recreation, environmental studies, forestry, or a related subject. In addition, they need to be knowledgeable about safety protocols and possess strong leadership skills.

 

Selling/Marketing

Some people with active lifestyles pursue one career path is selling and marketing products related to sports or fitness. For example, some companies specialize in selling workout equipment; others sell nutritional supplements and health foods.

People who work for these types of companies can expect to test out new products regularly, in addition to attending trade shows. Therefore, they will need a strong constitution for trying foods and training regimens.

 

 

So, if you're looking for a career that will allow you to stay active, one of the options mentioned above might be right for you. Each of these careers has its unique benefits, and each can provide a great way to help others while also helping yourself.
