The Sports Medicine & Fitness Technology students at the Orlando campus welcomed Adriano Martins, Brazilian UFC fighter currently ranked 5th in the world, as their guest speaker. He shared stories about techniques he has learned to prevent injuries and to prepare him for the ring. They learned that to qualify to be a UFC fighter you have to win ten matches a year so he shared stories about how he trained to stay healthy. On the same day, the SMFT class was also visited by a local physical therapist, Andrezza Facanha, who spoke to the students about injury prevention and how to test and train a new client.
My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
