The last couple of days that I worked at Tekulve I got to work more on the treadmill. Most of the days I'm there, I do the plyometrics, pre-tests, and post tests. All of these do not require any running on the treadmill. Last Friday, there were 5 kids for one session. I started with all five kids, and then once the other treadmill opened up, I had 3 kids. At first I was still kinda nervous being by myself, with no help, but I did it and now I feel more confident. The older kids knew what they are doing for the most part, so I didn't have to spot them, unless the incline was really steep. The younger kids are a bit different. Most of them are not as athletic and require more work. The one kid I had was pretty good though. He knew what to do, he listened to what I was telling him to do, "high knees, arms chin to pocket, shoulders back, etc." I was very happy to see that the kids were making my job easier.
Today, most of the kids that I worked with were pretty good. Some of them were older and knew what to do, which means less work for me. There was one kid that was having problems keeping his knees up, so I moved to the side and held my arm out to make him bring his knees up high enough to hit my arm. It worked for the most part. He thought it was hard, but it will only get easier from here on out.
Starting next week is the summer hours, which means we will be very busy! I'm sure I will be doing a little bit of everything!
