Total Hours for Week 1: 18
The sport mentorship/internship (course number SRM 670) that I have to complete for my Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration of Sports Management will be done with Coach Josh Ison. Coach Ison is the Head Strength Coach for the Tiffin University football team and is responsible for developing and implementing strength and conditioning workouts for football athletes.
The location for my mentorship will be at Tiffin University. My role during the mentorship will be Coach Ison’s strength and conditioning assistant and will help Coach Ison with strength and conditioning duties during camps and practices during the football season. The tasks that I will do during my mentorship will include:
-Assisting with planning strength workouts.
-Showing proper technique for drills and exercises.
-Assisting the players with the exercises and spotting with the lifts.
-Putting the weights back and cleaning up weight room after workouts.
-Setting up drills to run in camps and practices.
-Conducting research on drills, exercises, and nutrition ideas for a strength and conditioning manual.
-Assisting with putting together the strength and conditioning manual for the players.
The first week of my mentorship I sat down with Coach Ison so we could go over the tasks that he needed me to do for my mentorship. Before I started my hours, Coach Ison wanted to make sure that I knew the proper way to do the exercises that the athletes would be doing throughout the summer and during the season. So, he went through a demonstration of the types of exercises he would be putting in the workouts for the athletes. He demonstrated the exercise himself, made me try the exercise, and then he would correct my form in the exercise to ensure that I was doing it correctly. He wanted me to review some videos online to see how other coaches would demonstrate and explain the exercise. This week we put together a summer workout manual to give to the athletes.
