Total Hours for Week 2:  10

This week Coach Ison and I gave out the summer workout manuals to the athletes.  Some of the athletes were staying in Tiffin during the summer and some were not so we had to make sure they all had their manuals so they could try and keep in shape during the summer.  Coach Ison would discuss the importance of staying in shape with the athletes because if they stayed in shape during the summer, it would be easier for them to go through the team camp in August.  We answered any questions the athletes had about the manual.

Coach Ison wanted me to clean the weight room at least once a week to ensure that the equipment was sanitized and the weight room stayed in order.  He discussed the importance of safety not only with the layout of the weight room equipment but also the germs that could remain on the equipment after an athlete finished using it.  The athletes were instructed to clean the equipment after they used it but there were other people who used the weight room so the weight room still needed to be cleaned and sanitized once a week.

A lot of the athletes would come in pairs or groups to work out so that each athlete had a lifting partner but some could not come with another athlete so I would assist them with their lifts.  I would also demonstrate proper technique of the lifts and workouts to the athletes.  Coach Ison wanted me to do this to ensure the athletes were doing the exercises appropriately and not putting their bodies at risk for injury.  He also wanted me to do this in order to develop my skill of instruction of exercises.
