Different sports require different methods of training and expertise. A basketball player needs different training than a football player. Trainers can become experts in a particular sport at an elite level. They are not the trainers you find in your local gym. For example, an astronomer would not teach micro-biology. Both are scientists, but their area of expertise are much different.
