Project Overview
In this project I was a volunteer coach for a local high school. The sport I devoted my time to is the sport of track and field, since this is where I have a particular area of expertise. I am currently a student athlete at SUU, where I participate on the track team as a hurdler. I was particularly qualified for this position based on my previous experience on creating workout plans in specialized classes and forums. For this project I was required to make specialized workout plans for a group of sprinters/hurdlers. I was also required to oversee the completion of these workouts by the athletes, and make corrections in their execution of said workouts and drills. This tested my ability to coach and give positive and beneficial feedback to the athletes and their efforts. I had an extremely positive experience working with these athletes and I have posted my thoughts and reflections on this experience in the section titled reflection.
