The Importance of Working on Yourself as a Pre-PT

If I could go back in time, I wish someone would have told me about this. About how important it is to work on yourself as a person. In this career field you are about to enter, you are dealing with people who are in pain and wanting your help. Working on yourself as a Pre-PT student will set you up for success in not only your future career, but also your future friendships and relationships. 

Okay, so you're probably thinking, as many pre-PT students ask me.. how can I work on myself? There are many ways you can do this. Reading self-help books, listening to podcasts, audiobooks, and attending other conferences are one of many ways you can do this. 

In order to effectively engage in personal development, you must engage in something you either have a weakness in or an area of interest. For me it was confidence as a pre-PT student, but for you it may be leadership, honesty, communication, business, relationships or persuasion.. the list goes on and on. 

"..start your day off with listening to a podcast on the way to campus.."

Healthcare is a difficult and challenging field, but has so many rewards mentally, physically, and emotionally. To best prepare yourself for the challenges you will be faced with as a PT student, start your day off with listening to a podcast on the way to campus or reading a book as soon as you wake up in the morning. It allows your mind to be in the right place and be able to make the best decisions. I recommend engaging in personal development a minimum of 15 minutes per day. If you talk to any person who is extremely successful I guarantee you that they engage in at least 1 hour per day. The best time to do this is when you first wake up in the morning or right before you go to bed. That way it is fresh in your mind when you wake up or as soon as you go into class or work. It is the best way to start off your day!

There are a few books, audiobooks, and podcasts that I recommend for someone who may be new to this:

Podcasts:

• The Hunt for Greatness- Greg Todd 
• The PT Entrepreneur Podcast: Dr. Danny Matta 
• The School of Greatness: Lewis Howes
• PT on ICE Podcast: Dr. Jeff Moore
• The Gary Vee Audio Experience: Gary Vanyerchuck
• The Physical Therapy Business School Podcast: Paul Gough

Books:

• Expert Secrets: Russell Brunson 
• The One Thing: Gary W. Keller 
• The 10x Rule: Grant Cardone 
• Rich Dad Poor Dad: Robert Kiyosaki 

Again this is just a start.. If you have any questions about anything above please reach out to me at [email protected]
