WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE A SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPIST? （下）

一名運動按摩師需要注意什麼？

3. Ok, so now let's address the elephant in the room: The pay.

好的，現在讓我們來聊聊大家避而不談的話題：薪水。

Being an SMT means that as well as deciding your own working hours, you can also control what you get paid per hour.

So do some market research and find a price you’re happy with, and one that reflects your hard work and training.

Most therapists will advise you to decide on an hourly rate you will be happy to stick with

for the foreseeable future, as it can be hard to put your prices up further down theline, but this is entirely up to you.

成為運動按摩師意味著不僅可以決定自己的工作時間，還可以控制每小時的工資。

因此，您需要進行一些市場調查，找到自己滿意的價格，並且該價格可以反映出您的辛勤工作和訓練。

大多數治療師會建議您決定您樂意堅持的每小時收費

在可預見的將來，因為很難將價格進一步下調，但這完全取決於您。

How does working 15 hours a week and making over £600 sound? Pretty good to me.

It can being a strange thing in the beginning to decide what your time is worth, especially if you're used to a poor rate of pay.

Remember though, you have invested countless hours in your learning and paid for courses, so your time IS valuable.

每週工作15個小時並賺取超過600英鎊，聽起來如何？ 對我來說還不錯

剛開始決定您的時間值是一件很奇怪的事情，尤其是如果您習慣了低薪水的情況下。

不過請記住，您在學習上花費了無數小時並為課程付費，因此您的時間很寶貴。

4. What I love most about being a Sports Massage Therapist

什麼原因使得我熱愛運動按摩這份工作？

I have saved the best point until last. It does encompass everything above, but it’s worth mentioning again.

One of the most amazing things about becoming an SMT is being your own boss. I know, I know,

it’s a lot of responsibility as everything that happens is on you, however, you get to craft a business and

a brand out of something you're passionate about. I've really enjoyed tackling and overcoming all the different challenges that running my own business has presented.

我把最好的觀點保存到了最後。 它確實包含了以上所有內容，但值得再次提及。

成為運動按摩師的最神奇的事情之一就是成為自己的老闆。

我知道我知道，發生的一切都在您身上，這是很多責任，但是，您可以從自己熱衷的事物中打造業務和品牌。

我真的很喜歡應對和克服經營自己的企業所面臨的所有不同挑戰。

The more I've learnt the more I've wanted to know, and I've really enjoyed completing further training,

CPD courses and attending conferences; fully immersing myself in the industry.

學到的知識越多，我想知道的就越多，而且我真的很喜歡完成進一步的培訓，CPD課程和參加會議。 使自己完全沉浸在行業中。

註：這邊的CPD課程，為英國運動按摩協會推出的進階專業發展課程 （Continuing Professional Development courses）

     用以幫助臨床的運動按摩師可以更精進自己的本職學能

Training with the Sports Massage Academy has definitely helped, with support on hand for all aspects of the business,

and the opportunity for furthering my education. You decide how big or small your company gets; where you work,

which events you work at and ultimately how successful you will be.

運動按摩學院的培訓無疑為我們提供了幫助，在業務的各個方面都提供了支持，並為我的深造提供了機會。

您可以決定公司的規模大小。 您在哪里工作，從事哪些活動以及最終會取得成功。

You ARE your brand.

I know that sounds daunting, but the possibilities are endless with where you take your skills and that is very exciting.

您是您的品牌。

我知道這聽起來讓人望而生畏，但是掌握技能的可能性無窮無盡，這非常令人興奮。
