Personal Philosophy Of Sports And Physical Activity

In essence, Cartesian Dualism attempts to solve the mind-body problem – that is, what is the relationship between the mind and the body? The answer, according to this theory, is that the mind and the body are two distinctly different substances that constitute each person. Here, “mind” can be described as a nonphysical thing that thinks and “body” as a living physical thing that does not think. The mind can also exist independently of the body, and both can causally affect one another.

I have chosen to study athletic training because it allows me to still participate and be involved in sports as well as be able to help athletes recover from injuries while gaining valuable clinical experience for physical therapy. Growing up I have always had a love for sports but I have not been graced with the abilities to become a professional athlete. With my love for sports as a youth I watched a lot on television with my father and I would see athletes get injured and medical personnel rush out to their aid. When I found out they were athletic trainers and physical therapists, I knew that is what I wanted to do when I grew up. All throughout high school I was involved in sports and unfortunately had an injury or two. Although our school did not have an athletic trainer, I went to many different specialists and

The defense of dualism stems from two questions. First, is a human being composed of just one ultimate component or two? The second asks if the answer is two, how do these two relate to one another? This idea starts Moreland argument for dualism over physicalism. Physicalism is a worldview that states that

The next characteristic is leadership. Leadership is helping, guiding or leading others to reach a goal. I'm a leader not only in school but outside of school as well. Outside

The philosophy I carry for my studies in athletic training incorporates a few fundamental areas, which I believe are of importance to the athletic training program and will continue on into the labor force after my education has been completed. These elements include: the profession itself, to include advocating for patients and professional causes related to athletic training. The functional aspects of my educational path. A continued honorable conduct while working with clients as well as outside in the general public, and a professional rapport with not only athletes, but my colleagues as well. I incorporate these several areas in my professional philosophy because, I understand they embody points of view which aid in developing the manner in which I carry myself and the behavior I present to the community.

I have always been stuck on the same major since I was a freshmen in high school, and nothing has yet changed my mind. Through athletic experiences, and playing three sports throughout high school career, injuries from that sport, shadowing opportunities, and classes that have impacted my choice of my major. I have chose the major of Athletic Training, and I have many reasons behind why I chose it. From all of my experiences, I have felt and have been supported and that is a big part of athletic training and reason I have chosen the major as well, so I am able to show support to others the way I have felt it. Throughout picking my major, I also have a big support system of people who have supported my decision including my family, friends,

Sport is incredible in how it can increase confidence, self-esteem, and overall health while teaching children a new ability of working with others as a team, taking direction, and doing things they never thought possible. I want to be able to show what sports is capable of teaching and the rewards that come along with it. The concept of team reveals what is achievable through solidarity that would be impossible in solitary.

Summary of an Article: A Qualitative Analysis of the Types of Goals Athletes Set in Training and Competition

Physical education should be a fun class, but fun does not have to mean chaos. I believe in a structure that will allow the students to have fun in a safe way. My lesson plans will be structured so that students are constantly engaged in physical activity. I feel that if I can keep students moving and learning, then the chances of misbehavior will decrease. In elementary school I feel that Instant Activities should be used to get students moving when they get into my class. High school is a little different. I feel that students at the secondary school level should be introduced physical fitness activities that will help keep them in shape later on in life.

I remember fracturing my ankle once from a soccer injury. I took around a month or two to rehabilitate my injury. The physician was able to answer all the questions I had as well as teach me how to walk again after removing my cast. His knowledge of the body and how fast he could recall the information fascinated me. Of course there is also my mother who is a nurse, and she also wants me to be a doctor. In addition to that, my passion to help people added on to my curiosity of pursuing a life in the medical field. It was not until I took Honors Biology 1 with Professor Do at IVC that my interest in biology was made certain. I originally wanted to be a clinical psychologist, but the reason I strayed from it was because I wanted to deal with

The study of how the mind and body interact with each other has been a concern of many areas of study. This leads to the

In earlier days sports psychology was mostly concerned with developing assessment methods that would identify those people with the potential to become serious superior athletes. Today the focus is on psychological training, exercises that strengthen the mental skills that will help athletic performances on the path to excellence. These skills include mental imagery and focus training. If an athlete is serious about becoming the best he or she can possibly be, the most essential ingredient is commitment to practice the right things. It takes incredible commitment to reach the top: a commitment to rest and train the body so it can perform under the most demanding conditions and a commitment to train the mind to

I believe that physical education and health give a unique opportunity to the students to contribute to the overall well-being and student’s development.

The perspective of this paper is to develop a philosophy on physical education and then explain what kind of job we plan on having later on in life and relate physical education to that. The purpose for developing this philosophy is to try and get the most out of the people I’m working with on physical education, whether it is an adult or adolescent.
