KIN 854
Sport Law for Administrators & Coaches Spring 2011 - Rick Atkinson
KIN 854 focuses on the moral and legal responsibilities of coaches and administrators in athletic programs. Students are asked to find and manage possible risks, while taking the welfare of all athletes into consideration on issues of facilities, budget, safety, negligence, gender, eligibility and more. As a young coach, this class was particularly helpful in opening my eyes to many possible issues I may encounter. The use of Moot Court Case Scenarios provided specific situations requiring thoughtful reports from both sides of the issues or future plans of action. |
KIN 855
Psychosocial Bases of Coaching Athletes Fall 2011 - Martha Ewing
KIN 855 provides opportunity for the development in knowledge and understanding of the "behind the scenes" factors of coaching and athletics. Topics in sociology, psychology, skill development, and socialization were emphasized on exams and reinforced in projects like drafting a coaching philosophy, observing another coach, a book, review and conducting an interviews, This course was the only where I was required to take timed exams, but the most valuable experiences came from the supplemental assignments. These well-thought out projects helped to make the course content applicable to my everyday coaching experiences and provided opportunities to talk to or learn from others with various experiences |
KIN 856
Physical Bases of Coaching Athletes Summer 2011 - Scott Riewald
KIN 856 featured a wealth of information to help take scientific "book knowledge" and translate it into tools that could be used in everyday coaching environments. Topics such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, training design, strength, and injury were presented. Projects were a major part of the course as students were asked to take what they learned and create a usable document for coaches, parents, or athletes. While this course covered a wide range of topics and required a lot of work, it was one of the most rewarding and useful I have taken. Upon completion I had created a dynamic warm-up routine, nutrition pamphlets for athletes, step-by-step instructions for teaching starting blocks, strength routines for injury prevention, a list of professionals to contact with questions, and much more |
