Background
During the winter of 2018-2019 I was informed of Oak Hill Adaptive Sports and Fitness. I
became interested in their approach to wellness and the various populations. I shadowed that
winter learning how all encompassing the health and fitness field could be. I was able to
become more comfortable working with clients and better able to understand their needs. After
advising appointments I realized I would need an internship and Oakhill Adaptive Sports and
Fitness was the only site I wanted to do it at. I chose this internship because I knew the staff
would give me the opportunity to grow with support. In the future I want to be able to work with
all clients and chapter 126 gives that chance. They also work with populations some trainers
would turn away or not know how to work with.
