Colleen Guthrie dream job



My name is Colleen Guthrie, I and from the small town of Hamden Connecticut. I am a first year student at Nichols College and I am majoring in psychology. As a child I would always tell my parents what I wanted to be when I grew up and my mind would change almost every day to very week, now that I am grown up I have many dream jobs that I would like to procure but there is only one that really sticks out in my mind.  My dream job is to become a sports psychologist and work with either college or professional athletes. Sports psychology is the study of how the mind affects physical activity and athletic performance. And also the psychological care and wellbeing of athletes, coaches. Maybe it is because I am an athlete myself and play two sports at the colligate level. I think it is very interesting to know and understand the thought process of an athlete is before and after they play in a game or compaction. I know from experience that I like to listen to music to calm my nerves and be relaxed before the game begins. After the game I take in all the errors and mistakes I made during the game and work on them at practice and fix the mistakes before the next game. Although every athlete is different. I would personally like to work for myself, I feel that I am better working alone than with a partner or another person.  If I were to work for any type of company I would like it to be a small company, so that way everyone knows everyone and it is a small and close working community. Also the company I work for I would like it if it is well known and has a good repetition for their field of work.
