Experience Academic Excellence

As a sophomore, I had the honor of being selected as an athletic training intern for the New York City Football Club. I worked directly with professional athletes, and thanks to WP, I felt prepared, confident, and comfortable for the job. The professors, clinical staff, and coaches here really want to see students do well; they invest a lot of their own time in us. It’s just as much about their hard work as ours when we succeed.
