Discovering New Paths After Competition- The Student-Athlete to Chiropractor Pipeline
There is one major looming reality that all athletes must face sooner or later. Eventually, a time will come when the body is unable to face the rigors of competitive play, whether that comes about from injury or the natural aging process. Regardless, it is wise to plan for life after the game. Unsurprisingly, many current or former student-athletes seek out careers that are connected to athletic performance in some way.Here at Life University (Life U), we offer many degree programs that support future athletically-focused careers, such as our B.S. in Exercise Science and our M.S. in Sport Health Science. Yet, one career focus area has emerged as particularly suited to many current and former student-athletes: Chiropractic.
Faces of Life U: Esa Tsoi
In something of a university meet-cute, Esa Tsoi played an away volleyball game against Life U and quickly became charmed by her scenic, compelling surroundings. She keenly remembers asking a teammate about the prominent sculpture that serves as a key campus landmark, the detailed bronze hands that she later learned were modeled after Life U founder Dr. Sid Williams performing a toggle adjustment. That is when Tsoi learned about Life U’s rich chiropractic history, unearthing a latent curiosity in chiropractic care and holistic healing from career talks she had participated in back in high school.
