Alex Lee

In elementary school, senior Alex Lee wanted to be either a firefighter or a cop, as they were common heroic figures in shows, but later changed his mind after seeing the reality of the occupation outside TV. Compounded with Lee’s growing involvement in sports, specifically football, his interests have shifted toward sports therapy. He sees sports therapy as a way to further his passion for sports.

“[It] has me wanting to stay sort of in the area if I can’t play,” Lee said. “Obviously, I want to play, but if that doesn’t end up happening, at least [I’ll] be around the environment.”

While Lee only settled on pursuing sports therapy this year, he still believes that his interest in sports therapy would have been appealing to him even at a younger age, specifically because he enjoyed watching the National Football League. Having participated in football since freshman year, Lee hopes that he can find ways to pursue his passions into the sports world.
