...is currently completing her graduate degree for Educational Administration at the University of South Dakota. Maggie has been a great addition to the Buena Vista Athletic training program and has earned a lot of respect for those here at Buena Vista University in only her short time here. Due to Maggie still currently finishing her education and starting to enter the next phase of her career she has been a perfect person to ask about the current process of becoming successful in the Athletic Training field. It is a privilege getting to hear about her process because I respect her greatly and know any advice she gives me is worth listening to. Maggie is from Milwaukee and stayed in Wisconsin for her undergraduate degree, but went to UW-Stevens Point because it gave her space away from her hometown and high school so she could become her own person. She picked this school not only for the distance from her hometown but also because it was a relatively small state school and she thought the campus was great. In terms of he intended major she...

...psychological foundations, processes, and consequences of the psychological regulation of sport-related activities of one or several persons acting as the subject of the activity. Applied sports and exercise psychology involves the idea of theory and research into the field to those individuals such as coaches, fitness professionals, and athletic trainers about psychological aspects of their sports or activity. The ultimate goal that’s trying to be reached through applied sports and exercise psychology is to facilitate optimal involvement, performance, and enjoyment in sport and exercise. Throughout this literature review I will go into detail on what is it to be a sports psychologist, and what are their major job and the benefits of this practice. Many individuals get their masters or even undergraduate degrees in sports psychology. Today many schools don’t offer this option so you can also get a master’s in clinical psychology if you want to pursue the career of a sports psychologist. By giving detailed descriptions and the goals, steps necessary to take to become a sports psychologist, athletic trainer and many other careers you can get into. I found a few scholarly articles that help explain the ultimate goal of applied sports and exercise psychology. Is applied sports and exercise psychology necessary in enhancing an athlete’s performance? Is an athlete able to perform better and perform at their best ability without going through the practice of applied sports and exercise...

...What I knew Sports have always been fun and exciting for me. When I was a little boy around 5 years old we were living in Virginia and my mom put me in my first basketball camp. It was fun to get on the court and practice and play with the other boys. I could not wait to get to practice each day. Some days I was tired and I realized that sometime you have to push yourself and work hard when you are a part of a team. There is no better feeling than after you have worked hard in practice and the coach calls your name to go on the court and play in a game. Touching the ball for the first time makes you nervous but when you hit the first shot the excitement takes over. Since I was a little boy I have watched basketball games with my mom. Seeing how exciting it is and how the fans go crazy when a player makes a basket made me want to become a basketball player when I grow up. I have watched Kobe Bryant play and I have dreamed of being a great player like he is. Kobe works hard and competes with his heart each night. He seems to enjoy his job and I want to enjoy whatever job I choose for my future. I have followed Kobe throughout his career and have his posters and jerseys. I look at them sometime and tell myself that I will be a great player like him someday. I know that it will take a lot of hard work and long practices to become great. I know that I will be forced to train and keep my body in the best condition. Sports are about being physical, athletic, and strong. The...

My parents never forced me to do anything I didn’t want to do. It was always my decision to participate in the activities that I chose to become involved with. My parents supported everything I have ever been involved with on two conditions: I don’t quit, and I always give one hundred percent. I chose to play the sports I did either because my friends were playing them or simply because I was drawn to them. Also there was influence from my parents more specifically my father. I truly believe that my involvement in sports from such a young age has shaped me into the person that I am today. The first organized activity that I joined was Tae Kwon Do. I was four years old, and I was mainly influenced...

...Choice of Ending the Cycle Lawrence Miller Jr. Composition I Instructor Hewlett April 25, 2015 When does the cycle come to an end? Better yet do I start the process to change the cycle? I sit for days on end, trying to collect my thoughts of what I picture my life would be like, rather than the images of my childhood. Images of my mother being beaten by my father, will forever be a stained memory in my brain. Missing out on growing up with my siblings, because of the choices I made. The only solution my mother could come to was sending me away. This cycle of being a deadbeat father, uneducated, abusive and alcoholic now I was carrying the burden on my shoulders. One day I said I can’t continue down this path. After all the headaches, stress, endless jobs my decision became very clear, college is the final decision. I realize if I want to strive for greatness and become a solid provider, role model for my family, secondary education is required. My days as a child, I could remember sitting in my room dreaming of what I wanted my life to be like. I told myself I would have a family, house and awesome job. Over the years my dreams started to become further near. As I begin to look over my life I realized, I was following the same path as my parents. It began when I had my first child at 18, just as my father had me. The cycle had begun, I wasn’t even aware that my life was about to go down a winding path. Birth is the beginning of life, as a newborn you are a virgin...

...hope to accomplish at Carolina? I have always had a passion for helping others. I sincerely feel like my life will be complete when I have made a difference in someone else’s life. All my teachers told me that I should be a teacher because I do well in my English and history classes. However, as much as I admire the work that my teachers do, teaching as a career doesn’t call to me the way I feel a potential career should. I enjoy working at my farmer’s markets during the year and for a while I thought majoring in business would be a good option. My mother always tells me that the best job a person can have is the one where they work for themselves. The more I thought about the farmer’s market, the more I realized that it wasn’t the owning my own business aspect that I was attracted to. The part that I loved the most was helping the customers. Countless number of people have thanked me for all my hard work and help that I demonstrate at the market. I always tell them that I do it because I enjoy to do it not because it’s part of the job. I started a service project known as “Farmers Feeding Friends.” The week that I got into Carolina I must have gotten over a hundred genuine congratulations from my loyal customers. I began to think about possible careers that would allow me to utilize the parts of the farmers market that I enjoyed most, helping others and working with people. The birth of my nephew finally helped me to finalize my future career plan: nursing. Nursing seems almost...

...Schellenberg at the University of Toronto at Mississauga, found “a small increase in the IQs of six-year-olds who were given weekly voice and piano lessons” (Brown). Not only has it been proved that music education can help raise one’s base IQ, but it is proven that students who receive music education do better overall in school. A study published in 2007 by Christopher Johnson, professor of music education and therapy at the University of Kansas, discovered that students in elementary schools with strong music education programs scored 22 percent higher in English and 20 percent higher in math scores on standardized tests, than schools with low-quality music programs (Brown). There is ample evidence that music can positively affect children. But, why does music education have such positive effects on the brain? Locker describes how making music involves more skills than simply the playing of an instrument, it involves children learning how to tap into multiple skill...

...profession. The First quality that is vital in being effective in sports leadership is the Knowledge of Sports Skills, so in this case meaning the Sports Leader must have a good knowledge of the participant’s skill development, technical ability and technical demands in order to carry out the session correctly and successful. This will thus help the sports leader make a decision on what specific, simple skill is require to help the participant succeed in the activity and enjoy it at the same time. This will then make the sessions fun and not too difficult. Moreover, these factors are very important to know. For example, one of my close friends was a former sports leader, and I came along to one of his session to watch him performs in his sports leadership sessions; he did a football session with the kids. I watched the session and he turned a difficult football session into a fun one for the children, as one of the first issue was that group of amateur footballers didn’t have the right technique to fully volley a football on target towards the goal, this is considering that the goal was a few metres away from them, so that the kids didn’t find it to challenging. Since some of the kids didn’t know how to kick the ball properly. They struggled to perform to a good standard and this will...

...were always soaked and filled with sweat (Under Armour, 2012). “There has to be something better,” he believed (Under Armour, 2012). That statement soon launched the performance apparel industry (Under Armour, 2012). That statement also became Under Armour’s generic strategy, which was to develop a better product than there was in the market. While Plank was perfecting his t-shirt after he graduated, he needed funds to launch his apparel line, so he maxed out his credit cards to the tune of $40,000 and set up a company in his grandmother’s basement in Washington, DC (Under Armour, 2012). In 1996, Kevin Plank founded Under Armour (Funding Universe). One year later, he made his first team sale to Georgia Tech, after which other major Division I teams followed in droves, along with 26 NFL teams (Under Armour, 2012). Under Armour released several apparel lines with each one having been designed for a specific purpose (Funding Universe). ColdGear was for harsh winter weather (Funding...
