Reflection: Queens College Track And Field Team

Jack Nimble was the fastest hurdler on his high school track team. In fact, he was so fast that he was able to win the state championship in New York. As a state champion, Jack was invited to compete in the national championship. However, being his first time competing in a national championship, Jack was overwhelmed with anxiety and had lost his confidence. As he practiced for the national championship, Jack was not able to focus as he ran. His coach noticed how he wasn’t able to run as fast as he normally would, as well as jump over hurdles perfectly. As the days grew closer to the Championship, Jack’s coach decided that they shouldn’t practice, instead they should have a talk to help Jack with his anxiety and help him regain his confidence.

After another great year of running and training, Chino Hill’s Cross-Country team ended with an amazing season. Throughout all the hard-core training and rigorous races, both the boy's and girl's teams had successful results. Injuries had been a recurring problem, as some runners didn't train during the summer. Despite struggles and injuries that had occurred throughout the season, there were many improvements and achievements in the team. In League the Girl’s Varsity Team won first, and the Boy's Varsity Team achieved second. The Boy’s JV, Frosh/Sophomore, as well as the Girl's JV placed second. In Boy's Varsity the top runners were, Andrew Arvizu, Jake Bergmann, and Noah Rehfeldt, and the Girl's Varsity the top runners were, Rachele Sunagawa,

Jayce Bailey Cravens Professor Cuellar Foundations in Sports Management September 21, 2015 Final Chapter 7 is titled Intercollegiate Athletics. Chapter 7 deals with a lot of information about the starting of college athletics. The first three topics that chapter 7 focuses on is the Origins of Intercollegiate Athletics Governance, National Collegiate Athletic Association, and other National Governing Bodies.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is requiring colleges and coaches to make an effort to track the grades and progress of student athletes. There are more than 360,000 student athletes, according to the data only 1% of those student athletes will ever play football professionally. NCAA wants to make sure that student athletes are prepared for careers other than professional sports. Education World.com is an online source of teachers, administrators, and school staff members. World Education has provided resources since 1996. The article did not list an

I have also noticed that Athletics SA makes other small modifications during a competition. For example, water and shade tents are provided if the temperature is very hot. Furthermore, for championships such as the longer distances 3000m and 5000m State Championships are always run at night to attain desirable conditions.

The level of intensity is much lower if you’re standing on the sidelines rather than taking part in the events on the inside of the fence. Onlookers from the sidelines aren’t concerned with performing in the events, but instead are there to motivate those that are competing. Vice versa, the competing athletes are on a higher level of intensity, physically preparing themselves for their events with warm-up routines and mentally preparing themselves for facing athletes from the other teams. Oberving tends to be a layed back role in the track meets compared to participating in the meet’s events. Though it may sound insignificant, the food consumed by an athelete can mean all the difference in their performance. Often times, athletes can be seen at the meets eating lite, healthy snacks, while in contrast, the spectators return from concessions with junk food and full, heavy meals. Watching my teammates run their events, I’m around everyone else cheering, and not only yelling as well, but taking in the scene before me. I’m alert to my surroundings. On the contrary, when I run, it’s as if I’m in my own world. I’m focused on myself running, and only myself. Most of the noise I naturally tune out, and some noise gets lost over the sound of my steps and my breathing. Contributing to play different parts at the meets has opened my eyes to how diverse the outlook from certain perspectives can

While only one of the women I worked with this semester is graduating, I know that other female athletes within the athletic department have and are carrying on the leadership skills they learned because of athletics. For the sake of privacy, some names have been changed. One student, Beatrice Manuel, was a successful student-athlete here at Ohio that is graduating with me next week. Over the course of four years, she learned key leadership skills such as how to lead a team and work with them, resilience, goal-setting, how to work under pressure and how to adapt to numerous situations. Because of her hard work and the key skills she learned, Beatrice is will be attending vet school this coming fall. Other female athletes in the athletic department are going on to obtain their masters degrees, or are obtaining jobs in leadership and management positions. In our athletic department, I know of one person who was formerly a student-athlete herself. I wrote many journals about Jenny, the football coordinator in Ohio’s athletic department. She played soccer collegiately and I see the skills she learned put to use everyday. She leads the entire football, and plans their academic schedules, as well as advises them and hosts weekly meetings. There is never less than three athletes in Jenny’s office or waiting to meet with her. She works under pressure, knowing that it is her responsibility to guide almost one hundred football players to graduation. Time management also comes very

As a proud and committed member of the Davis Athletic Council, I have become a confident communicator and have displayed this trait in a variety of situations. The Davis Athletic Council, (more commonly the DAC) consists of 28 students chosen for their athletic ability and leadership skills. We demonstrate communication through our collaborative efforts to organize activities and bridge the gap between staff and students.

This CONTRACT is made between St. John’s University Department of Athletics (Athletics) and Patrick Carlucci (Head Coach) effective May 18, 2015. Athletics and Head Coach may be collectively referred to as the ‘Parties” or “Party”.

"If you look at the sucess of this year, it is pretty positive. Margaretville has made post season in almost every sport. We have athletes who have obtained scholar athlete awards, all- star awards and have been granted wonderful athletic opportunities. I am pleased with both the work of our student athletes and coaches."

The collegiate athlete I have chosen for this assignment is my younger brother his currently on the track team at Oklahoma Baptist University. His ran track for many year, but the problem with this is it’s harder to make any drastic improvements. Some races he would improve by a couple tenths of a second, remain the same, or even get a slower time. Without continuous improvement I’ve noticed his self-confidence, motivation decline, and increase in anxiety when faced with equal or superior athletes. Feeling stagnant has caused him to get caught on a performance plateau. My psychological skills training program will be focused on helping him regain his self-confidence, motivation, and decrease competitive anxiety. Ways

Words cannot fully depict the nervousness I felt. The night before the race, I could barely sleep. I tossed and turned, constantly waking up. I could not get my mind off the record. The nervousness increased exponentially when I arrived at the Florida Gulf Coast University pool the next day.

Allyson Felix says, “I am always nervous. If I was not nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It is part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I am there and I am ready”. She is a twenty-six year old olympic sprinter, who has practiced and competed in many race. If someone wanted a role model about track, she would be the one. Speaking of running, has the athlete ever experienced

The Jamaican bobleigh team won the gold metal at the World Push Championships in Monaco. William Malonemy proposed the idea of a Jamaican bobsleigh team. The president of Jamaican Olympic Association supported the idea at the time. The Jamaican Olympic Association was formed in 1936.
