I would like to recognize Jed Smith as an exceptional individual as well as collegiate strength and conditioning coach. His knowledge, personality, and altruistic character led the University of Northern Iowa to new heights. I was a student-athlete at the University of Northern Iowa majoring in Exercise Science when Jed became the head strength and conditioning coach. Jed started a tradition and foundation at UNI on an academic level as well as athletic. Academically, he worked closely with the exercise science department to put more of an emphasis on strength and conditioning as a profession, which further led to both of my degrees in Exercise Science (i.e., M.A. and B.A.).…

The community also uses this gym often, especially during basketball season. People from Knott County and the surrounding counties come to this gym for not only sporting events, but for yard sales, meetings, and community events.

Day in the life of an Assistant Athletic Director When going into work there are several things an assistant athletic director has to do each and every day. Some things people know about, but there are also some things people don’t know that the assistant athletic director is doing. This job has a very important role to the flow of things when it comes to athletics. Without an assistant director, that would just put too much work on the head director. With this, “The head director can focus more on scheduling games, coaching, developing coaches, as well as many other responsibilities that fall under his leadership.”…
An unusually fragile underclassman: devoid of faith and fearful of a new environment brimming with the cold embrace of the unknown. “What do you like about yourself?” Sitting in the audience, listening to an assembly during my freshman orientation of high school, this existential question hit me like a tidal wave—initially destructive yet ultimately metamorphic. Those around me blessed with a wealth of confidence from a young age beamed with vanity: athletes, scholars, musicians and those exceptionally precocious few with the ability to thrive in multiple environments.…
I work closely with my Care Manager and Register Manager to ensure anything that is found to be a hazard or a concern is recorded and reported immediately, lessening the chance of any harm coming to another individual, as it is then acted upon immediately. Our policies and procedures clearly state what to do, should you find an issue but continuing mandatory training for all employees, is periodically carried out. One example of good practice was a service user using a stand aid to assist with moving and handling, it became apparent to me that the service user was not weight bearing. I asked my Registered Manager to observe the technique being used, who fully agreed, therefore from that moment on the service user would use a full hoist, with appropriate slings both for transfer and toileting. I have undertaken the role of ensuring the home has an adequate supply of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required to fulfill their role safely, limiting the risk of the spread of infection.…

Growing up, I became adept at running away from people, problems and my fears. When I was younger, I was the victim of bullying being a shy, awkward and overweight child. Not wanting to be a burden to the adults in my life, I dealt with these problems alone, choosing to run instead. At the time, I had no idea that I would be subjecting myself to years of failure, all because I chose to let fear paralyze me. I was in my junior year of high school when I first discovered the weight room.…
The facility is also closed on Sundays. Although this is a weakness, it is easy to work in the workouts into the schedule since the workouts are designed to only last about an hour. Both the athlete and the strength and conditioning coach however have to be available either in the morning or the evening. One more weakness includes not having a huge open place, or expensive equipment for VO2 Max for aerobic testing. However we can perofrom aerobic tests at a neighbourhood park as a field test.…
In the locker room are Dan and Jason. I say hello and continue on to my locker. More people come in and everyone starts talking about how bad their day was. It's almost a daily contest to see who can have bragging rights for having the worst day, perhaps they want sympathy or maybe they just like to complain a lot. I find it humorous that a bunch of guys who come in every day to train and beat on each other can complain so much, so I laugh at them and leave the locker room.…
