Lesson 1 Reflection

Content:

1. Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?
In my lesson, I am most proud of the content/information that I was able to share and teach to my classmates. I also liked sharing what my mentor does for me during my mentorship hours.

2. Questions to Consider
I would give myself a P because I believe I met all of the P requirements and covered as much as I could during the lesson plan.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?
The thing that worked for me during my lesson plan was, I was able to state the main points in my lesson, while still meeting all of the requirements.
4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?
The thing that didn't work for me was my timing on my presentation, and how prepared I was. If I could go back, I would time out my presentation and practice my presentation. I would also try and make my lesson more organized.

Blog 8 - Research and Working EQ

What is your working EQ?

What is the best way to diagnose and set up a treatment plan for an athlete with an injury.

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format. 

My answer would be, knowing the correct information about the type of injury, and being able to do test based on the knowledge that you have acquired to rule out certain injuries and focus on a more specific injury. .

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?

The most important source of information would be the American Academy of Orthopedic surgeons. they have lots of information based on diagnosing and treating injuries. the most important article would be an ACL surgery article.

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

I plan to do more hours with my mentor and to try to do more hands on work with the athletes.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

I will do a set amount of hours every week consistently. My mentor also teaches a sports medicine class.

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

My mentor also teaches a sports medicine class so I want to sit in his classes and learn more about sports medicine.

4.  Update your Senior Project Hours log.

Tape saves lives.

Taping is such a basic way to aid in the treatment process of injuries. This treatment however, is also one of the most important factors in stabilizing and preventing an injury. The use of the tape restricts the movement of injured joints while reducing the swelling of the injured area. Injury prevention is also what taping is used for, it acts as a form of reducing impact. Both of these functions of tape have helped me through preventing my wrist from overextending and it has helped compress my sprained wrist.
