Day 2 and Day 3

Last Friday was my second day at my internship. I pretty much did the same thing I did on Wednesday. I filed the workout sheets from the previous day, and then I pulled the new workout sheets for those athletes that were going to work out Friday afternoon. I observed the warmup again because I'm still not familiar with all the drills they go through. The majority of the athletes had run workouts, therefore there wasn't much for me to do. I stood and watched the athletes run, I read over the workouts so I know what to do when I'm spotting the athletes. I listened to what the employees were telling the athletes, "stay tall, high knees, shoulders back..." These are all things that the athletes should be doing on their own without someone telling them what to do. Friday flew by compared to Wednesday. It was a shorter day since we got out at 6 instead of 8.

Today, I did a little bit more than I did on Friday. I filed and pulled the workout sheets like I did the past two days. I observed a post-test, which shows the progress the athlete's made from the pre-test they take at the beginning of the session. I also read over some information about the program, frequently asked questions, and the rate sheets. After that I had to get some lunch before the first two athletes got there to start their workouts at 2:45.

I led the Active Dynamic Warmup. I still had the cheet sheet that showed me all the drills, but I had to tell them what to do, and if they didn't know one of the drills, I had to demonstrate. The time went by pretty fast even though a few athletes cancelled their workouts due to a sickness, homework, etc. At the end of the day, I wiped down the treadmill, and grabbed my stuff and left. I have to be back there tomorrow at 12 noon, hopefully I'll learn something new.
