M.S. in Sport Physiology and Performance Coaching

I chose Carroll University because of the highly respected faculty. After completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Nevada, Reno, 我想在运动科学、力量和体能方面继续深造. I wanted to get hands-on coaching experience, apply scientific-based training principles, and to do research and the SPPC program offered it all. Additionally, Dr. 蒂莫西·苏科莫在力量和体能训练领域非常有名，我知道在他手下工作将是一段不可思议的经历.
 
The practicum was very hands-on and I learned a lot about myself as a coach. 这种环境给了我一个机会，将我在课堂上学到的东西立即应用到健身房，并贯穿全年. 实习给我的另一个好处是，我是运动表现提高小组(SPEG)的一员，那里有人类表现教练, Athletic Trainers, and Athletic Director would come together to discuss training reports, athlete health, 举重室的需求和需要改进的地方，让我们的运动员达到他们最大的潜力.
 
The SPPC program also offered a unique experience where we were part of the Carroll University Sport Performance Institute (CUSPI) 我们基本上是我们团队的运动科学家，负责对运动员进行测试和监控. I took advantage of as many opportunities as I could, which included working with multiple teams, coaching a diverse population of athletes, performing athlete testing and monitoring, communicating with sport coaches, performing research, presenting at the NSCA National Conference, interning with the Center of Excellence for Sport Science and Coach Education (CESSCE), and working within the Carroll University Sport Performance Institute.

选择卡罗尔很容易——当时我所有的教授都敦促我，如果我想继续我的教育，就要向最好的人学习. In addition to a brilliant facility, Carroll offered a 15-month master’s program that allowed me to not only get my degree, 但是作为一名全职的力量和体能教练，我有同样的责任和责任. 这对我很有吸引力，因为在课程作业中有研究和更深入的知识, as well as the practical coaching side.
 
对我来说，最突出的经历是研究和拥有自己的团队来指导. 这项研究对我来说是新的和令人兴奋的，因为这项运动背后的科学使这个领域变得令人惊奇, and it allowed me to grow as a professional. On the other hand, 作为他们的人力绩效教练，与我指定的团队一起工作，看着他们成长为更好的运动员，这是使这个项目脱颖而出的原因. These courses prepared me to leave Carroll and be ready to enter the field. SPPC项目旨在提供尽可能多的参与，而我正是这样做的.
 
I am currently a full time strength and conditioning coach for athlete performance, and I can honestly say I would not be where I am without Carroll’s SPPC program. At the start of the SPPC program at Carroll, I knew what my strengths and weaknesses were as a coach, and I had only 15 months to do better. Throughout the coursework I gained more knowledge, 作为一名专业人员，我参与了研究，并学会了与人力绩效团队沟通, 作为一名教练，我实践了我所宣扬的，以便更好地理解我为运动员制定的计划.

我想在运动科学方面继续深造，让自己成为运动员更好的资源. 我选择了博天堂官方入口登陆登录的SPPC项目，因为我了解这里的教师，正因为如此，我确信我有机会学到很多东西, whether it was in the classroom setting or in a practical setting.

被分配到一个团队，编写他们的力量和条件程序给了我很多责任和自由，让我从错误和成功中学习. 这是一个巨大的信心助推器-能够将你在课堂上学到的东西实际应用到团队中，并看着他们成为更好的运动员.

I was given so many opportunities: to be a leader, an assistant, a part of research, do athlete profile testing, everyday weight room and athletic facility functions, assigned a team and made responsible for their growth as athletes, a large and very optimal set of choices for internship experience, and even be a part of staff weekly meetings. 拥有所有这些机会，能够看到人类表现的各个方面，力量教练可以成为其中的一部分，这不仅帮助我变得更有知识，而且帮助我知道我想要的是什么，以及我如何对运动员产生最大的积极影响.
