sTRENGTH AND coNDITIONING
This is a work in progress
Mission Statement:
My mission at Beaverton High School is to help these student athletes clearly identify their individual goals, achieve and exceed these goals, and move forward both on and off the athletic field.
My Responsibilities
Physical activity has always been a part of my life. As a child, being fortunate to live in the country allowed me to always stay moving and be outside. I started playing organized sports very young, in the second grade. I carried that habit on into high school, picking up additional sports like surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding. When I knew that I was going into the Marine Corps, I began to prepare my body physically with basic calisthenic movements eventually winding up in a good old -fashioned weight room, beginning a new path and passion. For me, exercise/athletics/ fitness- these were never a chore. It was never mentally challenging to do. I excelled naturally. I was encouraged to push the limits on the competitive field and always was drawn to the many forms of sports. I know, in the society and culture we live in, that some people flat out do not like to workout. I get it. However, the need for activity is so foundational and primitive as human beings. People have grown to learn laziness. It is the comfortable route, and let’s face it- Americans love comfortable.
High school is such formative years in all of our lives. And for many of us, high school is where we develop life- long habits, for better or for worse. My goal as a coach is to establish a solid foundation of nutrition and movement in my athletes lives, so that they too can form their own routines of physical activity and take that on with them into their own journeys of life. I am fortunate enough to be doing this at Beaverton High School, with their spring after school athletic program. Already, I have been introduced with athletes of all skill and background. Some have been exposed to strength and conditioning programs, others are beginning that adventure. Regardless, each individual student presents me with vastly different and particular demands, and I am better from it. It’s a new daily challenge and it is one I am grateful to face, head on.
I have been learned so many things throughout this experience at BHS. It has been something that I feel truly blessed to be a part of. I have been given the opportunity to run the weight room for the months of April and May due to a need that arose in staffing. This will better equip me for my future as a teacher and undoubtedly provide me with more exposure and experience. It is my hope that from this, the student athletes are able to continue to gain better efficiency in their perspective sports as well as in appropriate exercise technique.
