Editorial Reviews

Review

“I have served as a professor, department chair, and academic dean, and I have observed hundreds of students who enroll in programs with little concept of career options and how to achieve employment goals. Students need guidance in understanding the options. Careers in Sport, Fitness, and Exercise provides that guidance.”

Brian J. Sharkey, PhD -- Professor Emeritus, University of Montana

Past President of American College of Sports Medicine

“Careers in Sport, Fitness, and Exercise offers clear information, helpful examples, and plenty of food for thought for those aspiring to find a career in this growing field.”

Nancy Clark, MS, RD, CSSD -- Director of sports nutrition services at Healthworks, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

Author of Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook, Fourth Edition

About the Author

The American Kinesiology Association (AKA), an association of over 100 college and university departments, was formed in February 2007 by the Human Kinetics Foundation with the support of the National Academy of Kinesiology. The AKA promotes kinesiology as a unified field of study and serves as an advocate at academic, governmental, and professional levels, both nationally and internationally. The AKA serves the needs of kinesiology departments at colleges and universities, assists scholarly societies associated with kinesiology, and encourages cross-disciplinary study in kinesiology.

Shirl Hoffman is the AKA’s former executive director and now editor of the e-magazine Kinesiology Today. He also is editor of the textbook Introduction to Kinesiology, Third Edition (2009, Human Kinetics), and is author of Good Game: Christianity and the Culture of Sports (2010, Baylor University Press). He is professor emeritus of kinesiology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where he served as department head for 10 years.

I think it's a cook book to help people decide on their career. This was required for one of my classes a few years ago.

Excellent resource for students and career counselors alike. I am a high school counselor and am delighted to add this to my library. Very clear, well organized information authored by a professional association, so they definitely know the ropes for careers in these fields.

It's alright. I wish it went into depth about some of the careers and discussed the other credentials needed for some of them in more detail.
But overall, it is a great starting point for exploration. My best advice would be to talk to as many people in the diverse field as possible, and not just professors, as they may very well be out of touch with latest developments outside of teaching.

I had to get this book for a class I was taking. if you're considering this as a guide for career options, you'll probably be pleased. It covers the basics thoroughly without getting too in-depth. Offers info as to what institutions and certifications are involved in different careers, and also gives a realistic view of the lifestyle one is choosing once they enter each field.
