Req 6 — Choose Your Next Step
6.
Do ONE of the following:
You must choose exactly one option from this requirement. Both options ask you to think beyond your current season, but they point in different directions.
Your Options
- Req 6a — Explore a Sports Career: Research careers that use sports knowledge, then take one seriously enough to study training, education, costs, pay, and long-term goals. This option helps you see how sports skills can become professional work.
- Req 6b — Build a Sports-Based Lifestyle: Explore how sports can shape a hobby or long-term healthy lifestyle. This option helps you think about enjoyment, growth, and sustainable habits beyond organized competition.
How to Choose
Choosing your final option
Pick the path that best matches your real interest
- Career curiosity: Choose 6a if you want to know whether a sports-related job could fit your future.
- Lifestyle focus: Choose 6b if you are more interested in how sports can stay part of your life for fun, fitness, and personal goals.
- Research depth: Both require real research, but 6a usually asks for more information about credentials, salaries, and job prospects.
- What you gain: 6a builds career awareness and decision-making; 6b helps you design a realistic long-term activity plan you could actually keep doing.
Whichever option you pick, the goal is the same: use what you learned in this badge to make a thoughtful next-step decision instead of letting your sports experience fade away.
