Family Practice: Family practice residents are offered fellowship in sports medicine and you may become an excellent team physician after completing it.

Sports medicine: Consider family practice or emergency medicine with fellowship & additional training in team sports/sports medicine. Shadow a team physician if possible to make sure that's what you want.

Consider PMR : Physiatry, or physical medicine and rehabilitation, also allows you to complete fellowship training in primary care sports medicine. The question is do you want to be more competent in handling acute on field emergencies, general primary care of athletes, or a focus on msk care, interventional procedures, msk ultrasound, disabled athletes and rehabilitation.
