Read while listening to a physiotherapist called Tom. What job did Tom do in the past? 

Hello, I’m Tom. I used to be an athlete but now I am a physiotherapist. I was a footballer in Spain. I used to play every day. After eight years, I decided to change my career. I wanted to work in sports and I also wanted to help people, so I decided to become a physiotherapist. I went to university and now here I am. I enjoy my job because now I understand the human body and how it works. I didn’t use to understand biology or medicine but now I do. Being a physiotherapist is an interesting job. I still play football, but only once a week for fun.
