Career Opportunities in GCSE PE
The study of Physical Education allows you to develop skills that could lead to pursuing many different career choices. Some examples of careers you could choose from include PE teaching, sports science, physiotherapy, sports coaching, sports lecturing, sports psychology, personal training, sports nutrition, and many more. Physical Education lessons teach students how to look after their well-being—physically, mentally, and socially. The good practices learned in looking after yourself will stay with you for the future, regardless of whether PE is specifically related to your chosen career.
