It's Easy From the Bench

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." (Theodore Roosevelt)

The Monday morning quarterback, the talking heads on cable news....these
are not we need to admire. The real heroes are those out there in the streets
demanding fairness, the politician making the tough decisions,
(or not making them?) and the every day person going to work so they can support their responsibilities. It is so easy from the sidelines.... isn't it Joe? View Gals? Bill O? It's so easy from the sidelines.

Recently, especially, this has been proven false. People with a degree in this field of study can work not only out of their home, but also in a chiropractors' office, a doctors' office, hospitals, health clinics, health clubs, fitness centers, with athletes on various sports teams, and spas. This can seem like a lot at first, but once broken down all the pieces fit.
