• Sports are always symbolised as Health Fitness
  activities. Most of the Indian population plays
  sports. Out of them some play for keeping
  themselves fit while some out of passion. Sports
  as a career has always been the dream of many and
  a questionable career. According to the majority
  of people, sports can be pursued as a hobby but
  not as a career. Well my dear friends this is a
  myth that we need to debunk.
• Sports as a career offers a plethora of
  opportunities and you, as a career counsellor,
  cannot only guide your aspiring students but also
  motivate them to make their career in this field.
  Career opportunities available in sports are a
  sports person, sports coach, sports journalist,
  sports photographer, sports public relationship
  manager, sports administrators, sports
  entrepreneurs, sports academicians,
  umpires/referees, sports medicine, sports
  psychologist, sports nutritionist,
  physiotherapists, sports analytics, sports goods
  merchandising, and sports governance.
