  • A Study on Professional Athlete Career Transition: an Overview of the Literature Keiko Jodai* and Haruo Nogawa*
    Career transitions of professional athletes Review : Sociology and Philosophy A study on professional athlete career transition: an overview of the literature Keiko Jodai* and Haruo Nogawa* *Graduate School,School of Sport and Health Science, Juntendo University 1-1, Hiragagakuendai, Inzai, Chiba, 270-1695 Japan [email protected] [Received February 25, 2011 ; Accepted August 22, 2011] Since the 1990’s, there have been many research studies that focus on career transitions for professional athletes in Japan. The main reason for this is that during that period, amateur sports teams, such as soccer and basketball, were spun off from divisions of companies to become separate professional teams. Consequently, this changed forced how athletes view the transition to a second career because they can no longer count on being employed by the companies that had previously run teams as part of their corporate operations. Research studies primarily covered top athletes but did not distinguish between the amateur and professional athletes. In reviewing the assumptions and results of such previous research with respect to professional status, this study will present the basic themes of such research. For example, early research investigated the actual reasons why and how athletes decide to change career; whereas later research seek to study how athletes specifi cally deal with career changes. Finally, in order to determine the effectiveness of actual support programs, the authors of this study proposes that more thorough investigation is needed to scrutinize how the career transitions of ex-professional football players have changed over time by using a “longitudinal” analysis. Keywords: career transitions, professional athletes [Football Science Vol.9, 50-61, 2012] 1.

  • Our Goal at Olympia Gymnastics Academy, Inc
    Part One: Introduction to Olympia Gymnastics Academy Welcome to the Olympia Gymnastics Academy Team Program Thank you for your interest in Olympia Gymnastics. The adventure you and your child are about to embark on will be a very special one. (Yes, it will be your adventure too!) Over the years, we have had the pleasure of watching many children learn, grow, develop, and mature into confident young adults who are ready to face the world. We look forward to the unique opportunities which working with your child will present. This undertaking will give your child a stage on which to develop his confidence, poise, individuality, mental and physical discipline, determination, appreciation for dedicated effort, and self-respect. Your child will mature among individuals and circumstances that will demand his finest efforts and judgments. He will develop close relationships with other young athletes who demand the best of themselves and expect the best in others. Educational opportunities will be made available which will compliment and enhance the experiences he will have in the gym. Above all, he will have tons of fun! We would like to personally congratulate each and every one of you for choosing gymnastics for your child. Gymnastics is the greatest overall body conditioning activity that you can have your child involved in. A study was done testing the components of physical fitness (strength, flexibility, coordination, etc.) of a number of college athletes involved in various sports. When the totals were added up, gymnasts proved to be the most physically fit. Some of the physical attributes that you will find developing in your young gymnast will be: strength, flexibility, kinesthetic awareness, muscular control, muscular endurance, coordination, timing, explosive power, agility, running speed, balance, and grace.

  • Athletic Trainers As Leaders in SEXUAL VIOLENCE PREVENTION
    Athletic Trainers as Leaders in SEXUAL VIOLENCE PREVENTION FEBRUARY 2021 ATHLETIC TRAINERS AT THE FRONT LINES AND ON THE SIDE LINES Athletic trainers (ATs) are allied health professionals focused on the prevention, examination, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of emergent, acute, or chronic injuries and medical conditions associated with sport. They are at the forefront of student-athlete health care, making evidence-based decisions informed by best available practices. ATs are critical members of the sport pipeline in youth, high school, college, and professional sports. Athletic trainers are uniquely positioned to affect the health and wellbeing of student- athletes, aligning with a shift in the profession toward a focus on the “total student-athlete.” This perspective has encouraged sports medicine professionals to consider not only the physical but the mental and emotional wellbeing of the student-athlete as critical to their athletic success and their personal development. A robust body of research over several decades has documented the physical and mental health outcomes associated with sexual violence among youth and young adults.1,2,3,4 Health care professionals have focused on best practices in assessing for violence, reporting procedures when youth and young adults disclose sexual violence, and connecting survivors with needed resources. However, health care professionals – ATs in particular – are well- positioned to be leaders inpreventing sexual violence before it happens and shaping prosocial climates that promote healthy relationship behaviors on their teams and in student-athletes’ lives outside of sport. RALIANCE 2 PREVENTING SEXUAL VIOLENCE The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) outlines key strategies for the prevention of sexual violence, which may help systems consider how best to address sexual violence in the context of sport.
