Service and Creativity
In April I continued my Kinesiology Blog and I had some work experience with sports companies.
For the social media, I continued to make posts about various aspects in kinesiology, and my followers gained to 360. this helped me to gain some recognition and an executive (Rae Lee Min Kim) from Dari motion, which is a biomechanics assessment company contacted me to work together.
They sent me data statistics of NFL and D1 college athletes, and I analyzed an athlete named Lil Jordan Humphrey who plays for the New Orleans Saints. And they told me give training suggestions based on the data statistics. Below is my brief description of the athlete’s problem and suggestions. It is really exciting because Mrs.Rae told me she would continue to work with me in the future, and after learning I haven’t gone to college yet, she told me she would start to officially work with me when I get into college. This experience was also really cool because I got to analyze an NFL player’s statistics, and this player followed my account too after learning about me. This experience allowed me to gain experience to work with adults and made me to start exploring topics that are specific for football players. This makes it a “service” in CAS because I am serving people outside my community this time.
Activity
For activity, I learned how to create a more professional periodization and plan for my vertical jump, this helped me to consider from all aspects and I also learned how to asses myself. I separated my program into 4 phases, 1 phase is 5 weeks, the doc below is the first phase, in which I’m trying improve my maximal strength because it is curerently the factor I’m lacking for my vertical jump. each exercise is considered carefully, for example, after I do squat, I do exercises that put less pressure on the joints because squat is already very harsh on my joints.
I’ve been following this program for one week now but I got stomach flu again…I have to start from the beginning because after one week of no training I have high risk to get injured if I suddenly expose my self to high intensity training.
