When I was young I was in a sports group that played some different type of sport year round. Being a part of that group taught me how to work well as a team player even when I didn’t agree with everyone on the team. It also kept me in great shape and out of trouble that I could have possibly gotten into if my time wasn’t occupied. My ability to work on a team and as an individual was groomed from this group. Being involved in an African American Heritage team taught me patience while learning.
Introduction When an athlete sustains an injury while playing the sport that they love, it can have a debilitating effect. Depending on the injury, not only can they be forced to miss a significant amount of playing time (which can affect their livelihood) while they go through rehab, they also lose a huge piece of themselves. The physical part of an injury is only half the battle athletes have to face. Thoughts, feelings and spirit all contribute to sport performance, and are important parts of every athlete (Brehm, 2008). Injuries cause extreme pain, limit movements and depending on the severity, can require a large amount of time for rehab.
What is a sports medicine physician? A sports medicine physician promotes lifelong fitness and wellness, and encourages prevention of illness and injury. They help patients maximize function and minimize disability and time away from sports, work, or school. During this assignment I learned about the education, preparation, working conditions, industry, networking, and some personal advice required when going into a sports medicine career. I learned a lot about this career in a short 30 minutes, and have found this assignment to be very helpful in choosing to go into the career.
My job teaches how identify the customers needs and wants and try to satisfied their needs as best as we can. I did sports all through my life, and this will help as well. Most physical therapist deal with athletes, so I have already learn how to deal with most common injuries that can occur.

Taking someone under your wing can be a scary experience. One of the most difficult and joyful things I’ve ever done was coach basketball. I was afraid of how to first approach the players at Los Cerros Middle School. I thought that coaching would be good volunteer work for my community. What I did not realize was that coaching these students would make me a more confident individual.
First off, playing a sport in college introduces you to a number of different people from all across the country instantly. An because of this reason they create an instant common bound right away whereas non-athletes have to work towards finding more of a social network of friends. Another advantage playing college athletes offers is the chance to keep pursuing the sport they love and the thrill of competition. There is also a since of pride that comes a long with playing a sport in college because the athletes are not only playing for themselves and each other but also for their school. Playing college athletics also means that the person involved will most likely be in better shape and more physically active while in school due to the regiment their coach puts them through.
but in case of my LD clients we will use communication boards and folders that we have produced together specific to there individual need. The young people I care for will sometimes have timetables that we can use but each one we will use different language, by different language I mean different terminology for things dependent on there level of understanding. I’m constantly challenged to find ways of effective communication for all my clients, services and professionals I deal with day to day in my job. Dealing with people with complex needs can take its toll I work very hard and always want to provide the best service I can but being human also this occasionally fails, my standards of care are always maintained but after working with someone I can walk away knowing I could have communicated a lot better, I don’t always get it right but I always try and learn from it and try it differently the next time. I look for feedback from my clients and professionals that I deal with and I always ask that they are honest and open with me and my working practices so I can improve where need be and of course commend me when I get it
Being around other basketball players is where I feel at home. Shooting around with my team or just friends in general is something I always look forward to. The court is what I would call my community, the time spent with other players and the love we all share for this particular game is why I consider it my community. We can play for hours at a time. We have all faced our difficult moments on and off the court, but it is when we are all together working hard for that win I am most proud.
PDHPE Study Summary How are sports injuries classified and managed? 1.1.1- Injuries commonly occur in sport, particularly in contact sports such as football. Sports injuries are classified according to their cause (direct, indirect or overuse) or the type of tissue damaged (soft or hard tissue).

The accurate assessment of injuries will make the management and further rehabilitation a much easier process for the athletes progression back to their sport.
The focus will be to train them in basketball. This will be a time for them to escape from their uncomfortable and dangerous environment and have them channel their energy into positive outlets. They will participate in other youth camps for the title of Youth Team of The Year. This will help them gain a sense of team work, and a sense of comradeship. In all these are my ambitions and my life goals.
