What the experts say about sports in the USA

    Maxwell Sampson says:

    a degree in Kinesiology is beneficial because it applies to personal health and public health. Ultimately it is a service to others and is very interesting to study if you enjoy science and physical activities.

    It is also a pathway to many rewarding careers such as physiotherapy, teaching health or PE, working in strength and conditioning, or other human sciences.
