Hiring a Strength and Conditioning coach at Cornell College will not only have positive effects on the student body as well as faculty, but could contribute to the kinesiology major as well. At Cornell, the athletic training major has the sport medicine assistant program, but there is nothing in place for the exercise science majors. If a Strength and Conditioning coach was to be hired at Cornell, over time, the coach could implement a program for students who would be interested in personal training or team training as a Strength and Conditioning assistant. This program would be similar to the Sports Medicine organization, where students will learn not only learn the ways of being a Strength and Conditioning coach, but also how to connect
For this project, the certified athletic trainer who I have shadowed for almost eight hours in just one day is Candace O'Bryan, currently the athletic trainer at Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron. Candace has worked at Hoban now entering her third year at the high school. She works alone as a trainer there but works along side one team doctor who is at every game, and the other one being a neurosurgeon but is just a parent helping out.
The field of athletic training is one of the fastest expanding careers today. This could be due to the much greater demand for health care providers. Athletic trainers specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating muscle and bone injuries. They work with a diverse group of patients, from young children to professional athletes. Athletic trainers are usually part of a sport medicine team, which tend to include a physician, physical therapist, and even a sport psychologist. Many athletic trainers work in educational facilities, such as high schools and colleges. However, much of their time is spent on the sport fields. The profession applies their wide range of medical knowledge; and in order to do so, athletic trainers must have strong interpersonal and communication skills to converse with the athletes, coaches, physicians, and parents (Occupational outlook handbook, 2012).
The effectiveness of the coaching method depends completely on the coach, his personality, and the needs of the student-athletes. Each program and institution is unique and has different institutional goals and objectives that attract different student-athletes compared to other colleges or universities (Koivula, Hassmen, Fallby, 2002).
When becoming apart of the athletic training community I have to have good citizenship skills. I will be given many opportunities to meet new people. Where ever I decided to become an athletic trainer my citizenship skills will help me fit into my new job. I have to become apart of the school and athletic community and make a name for myself so that I can succeed and move onto bigger opportunities.
Growing up in Abilene, Kansas, I have always had a passion for sports, but as everyone knows, physical activities are one of the leading causes of injuries to athletes. Unfortunately, for my family and I, we have spent several hours in the physical therapy setting. After many knee surgeries/injuries in my family, I developed a passion the profession of physical therapy. Because of the therapy that I have received, I have decided that I want to pursue the Physical Therapist Assistant Program at Washburn University.
...ified by hundreds of principals, superintendents, and school board members. There are many concerns about the safety, training, organization, philosophy, communications, and general management in coaching. According to the California High School Coaching Education and Training Program as stated in the Coaching Education Legislature Assembly Bill No. 2741, “It is a conservative estimate that at least 25,000 coaches annually need training and an orientation just to meet current coaching regulations contained in Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, including basic safety and CPR requirements.” That is why course techniques of coaching specific sports are necessary for a persons not trained and certified as a physical education teachers because they need to understand the basic philosophy and principles of athletics in education, know the health related aspects of athletics, and the techniques used to coach a specific sport. With every coach there are the little pieces of the game…strategy of offense and defense, practice/game planning, or scouting, but to get the whole picture they need to know the basic philosophy and principles, health aspects, and the obvious techniques.
My five greatest strengths according to the StrengthsFinder survey are activator, restorative, achiever, command and relator, in rank order. Upon reading about these strengths, I can see how I have used and will continue to use them. I was aware of these strengths, for the most part, but while researching I was able to learn a few things. One article that stood out to me was “Don't let your strengths become your weaknesses” (Kaiser, & Kaplan, 2013). In this article, the possibility of strengths becoming weaknesses when overused was discussed. The authors explained how overdoing can be just as purposeless as under doing. The ability to read and respond adeptly is crucial in handling challenges, they explained. As with everything else in life, balance is key!
The value placed on the importance of winning in professional sports has hit an all-time high. The astronomical amount of money being spent in the entertainment field of athletics has dictated a win-at-all-costs mentality that has trickled all the way down to negatively affect our youngest athletes - the prepubescent. The athletic world has forever been exploiting our youth as a source of athletic potential, sacrificing the health, safety and welfare of these child-athletes to satiate the intense nationalistic pride of the country and more dishearteningly in the name of the Almighty Dollar. This has caused coaches and athletes to take drastic measures which are sometimes illegal and usually unethical in order to improve performance levels. One of the most controversial training practices center around the impact of strength training in prepubescent children.
When I am 30 I would like to become a physical therapist, which is a certified health care professional, which practices in the field of sports medicine. I chose this career because throughout high school it became a very appealing job that I would want to get into, and I had done a job shadow and had received treatment for injuries before from an athletic trainer. The salary cap low for the job is $35,000 to a high of $75,000 per year. Most athletic trainers have 4 years of college education and a bachelor’s degree, and job training from a health care professional.
Kinesiology, simply put, is the science of human movement. However, there is much more to kinesiology than what that short definition states. Every single day of our lives consists of us moving in some manner. From the moment we get out of bed in the morning to the moment we go to sleep, our body performs a wide variety of physical movements. Kinesiology is important for us to understand for two reasons: health-related and skill-related. Human movement is naturally linked to health. Being physically active has already been proven as a way to live a healthy lifestyle. Skill-related kinesiology is more focused on athletic movements that vary in degrees of difficulty. This type of kinesiology can differ depending on the level of sport and seriousness

Throughout an educational discourse, inclusion is a highly debated subject throughout the curriculum. During the past decade, there have been exceptional levels of funding and resources solely aimed at physical education and school sport within the United Kingdom (UK). The DFE suggests that 57% of children with SEND attend a mainstream school (DfES 2007). Physical Education (PE) has been a rising topic of discussion due to decrease in activity and an increasing level of child obesity within the UK(Coates and Vickerman 2009). There are various implemented strategies such as Physical Education School Sport and Club Links (PESSCL) and Physical Education and Sports Strategy for Young People (PESSYP), which are instruments to ‘direct and guide practice and policies’ (Fitzgerald and Stride, 2012). Using these governmental strategies, schools try and challenge and attempt to increase participation and engagement with the aim of providing ‘high quality PE lessons’ (Griffin 2012), which targets the government initiative particular the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games to encourage an promote inclusive PE and school sport (Green 2009). Additionally, Fitzgerald and Stride (2012) distinguish on the concluding issue of inclusion should be recongised as part of a broader international concern to promote inclusive education (Forlin et al. 2008). There are various aspects, which are of high debate within inclusion regarding the national curriculum, initial teacher training and experiences of student and teachers.

Regarding a strength-based approach, human endeavors throughout history, to include sport coaching, have focused on “fixing weaknesses” or “deficit-based” approaches to coaching and teaching. In contrast, strength-based approaches to coaching, teaching, and leadership exploit an athlete’s strengths (a strength being both something they are good at and also passionate about doing). In doing so, an athlete can deliver a high level of performance and experience a sense of energy because our greatest potential are in the areas of our greatest strengths (Gordon & Gucciardi, 2011). I believe that as a consultant, coach or teacher, these same principles apply.
