Head
Coach for CYO Basketball 11/13-02/14
While coaching a church league basketball team, I
encouraged varsity level players develop proper technique and run numerous
plays. Our team focused on getting to know the game better and working as a
unit. Also while coaching, I was required to organize paperwork, and set up our
practice and game times.

Assistant Coach for Union-Endicott Track Team 11/13-02/14
While assisting the track team at two levels, I was
asked to perform many different tasks. The modified level had a focus of
improvement and fun. I helped the distance runners improve their times throughout
the course of a season by creating effective workouts that would help build
speed and endurance. At the varsity level I was asked to focus on the form of
the runners. Improvement was also a key factor while the level of performance
was more competitive.
·
Assistant
Coach for Union Endicott Soccer Team 08/13-11/13
While assisting the boys soccer team I helped create
drills and small sided games. This helped improve the athlete’s awareness on
the field. I also helped keep track of statistics such as time played, goals,
assists and saves. Assisting the coach helped me see the details a coach has to
be aware of; such as relaying information to parents, when to start pre season
and even when start specific drills at a specific part of the season.

Counselor
for Boys and Girls Club Summer Fun Program 06/13-08/13
The summer fun program for the club was a “drop in”
program. This meant the number of students varied each day. We ranged between
thirty and seventy students daily. The students were from all different
backgrounds and all different ages (5-12). Some students spoke English as a
second language and some were in high needs schools. This gave me the chance to
observe and teach different learning styles and ability. Children who are seven
years old are at an entirely different level than a twelve year old. Modifying
physical activities to be appropriate for all of the age groups was an exciting
challenge that I welcomed. I also lifeguard for the club, my duties include
teaching swimming lessons to students who sign up for 6 week programs. Lessons
are given on Saturdays and offer a great learning experience for swimmers of
all levels.

Student
Teaching at Union-Endicott School District 01/13-03/13
At Union-Endicott, I had the chance to work with students
at the elementary level. I tried to focus on practicing my management skills as
much as possible during this time. Students seemed to appreciate structure and
that is what I tried to provide to them. Management skills can help keep
students on task and even help improve student’s ability to learn. I also
assessed student’s psychomotor abilities with the TGMD2 form. While I was at
Union-Endicott, I assessed student learning during a cup stacking unit and a
healthy heart unit. Both of which, student’s improved their cognitive and
psychomotor skills.

Observational
Hours for Adapted Physical Education 11/12
At SUNY Cortland we took a class which gave us the
opportunity to work with all ages of students who have disabilities. The
disabilities ranged from Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome and Autism. I worked
with a one and a half year old who was just beginning his Physical Education
experience. Working with such a young age required me to change my teaching
strategies, specifically my approach methods. Lastly I developed an
Individualized Education Plan for this student which will be with him for the
rest of his educational career.
