  • US Barefoot History
    USA BAREFOOT HISTORY Keith St Onge, World and national champion The first man reported to meet the challenge of barefoot skiing was Dick Pope Jr, on March 6, 1947. In fact, for the first time, barefooting was recorded in pictures. According to sources at Water Ski Hall of Fame and witnesses of the event, it was actually the then 17-year-old A.G. Hancock, who made the initial attempts earlier in the year, driven by pioneer Chuck Sligh in Winter Haven, Florida. Charlene Wellborn Then the first woman to ski on bare feet was Charlene Dick Pope Jr Wellborn in 1951 at Cypress Gardens. The first barefoot competition was held at the 1950 Cypress Gardens Dixie Championships. As the tournament began, the first participants ended up with nothing but headaches, until Dave Craig of Miami successfully stepped of the ski. Then Stew Mc Donald of Tampa managed a short ride without skis. Pope, unaccustomed to the rough water of the tournament area had a difficult time, but was able to move into the first place with the longest ride. Finally, a young skier from Mexico named Emilio Zamudio was up. He kicked off his ski, stood up high, and waved joyously at the crowd, winning the competition. Ken Tibado Stew Mc Donald Ken Tibado As the story goes, Ken Tibado of Lake Wales introduced the two-ski jump out in 1953 and the beach start in 1956. Barefooting’s first significant public exposure came at 1956 tournament nationals in Laport, Indiana. A young skier named Mike Osborn thrilled the crowds with one of the first major barefoot exhibition in the World.

SELF, OTHER, AND JUMP ROPE COMMUNITY: THE TRIUMPHS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN by WYNNETTA SCOTT-SIMMONS (Under the Direction of Ming Fang He) ABSTRACT Using Critical Race Theory, Critical Literacy, Black Feminist Thought as a theoretical framework and Oral History as research methodology, the lives of four young African American women are explored as they leave their culturally insular surroundings, “Jump Rope Communities”, to seek access to the codes of power and registers of language in all-White, all-girl, elite private schools during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. In capturing the memories, perceptions, and lived experiences of these women over thirty years later, the journey into a world of divergences was explored--divergent language codes, divergent social, cultural, and economic stratifications, and divergent linguistic expectations, behaviors, and dispositions.

Mealy © 2018 Todd M. Mealy Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 ii This dissertation of Todd M. Mealy was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles P. Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Simon Bronner Distinguished Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Folklore Raffy Luquis Associate Professor of Health Education, Behavioral Science and Educaiton Program Peter Kareithi Special Member, Associate Professor of Communications, The Pennsylvania State University John Haddad Professor of American Studies and Chair, American Studies Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Glenn Killinger’s career as a three-sport star at Penn State. The thrills and fascinations of his athletic exploits were chronicled by the mass media beginning in 1917 through the 1920s in a way that addressed the central themes of the mythic Great American Novel. Killinger’s personal and public life matched the cultural medley that defined the nation in the first quarter of the twentieth-century. His life plays outs as if it were a Horatio Alger novel, as the anxieties over turn-of-the- century immigration and urbanization, the uncertainty of commercializing formerly amateur sports, social unrest that challenged the status quo, and the resiliency of the individual confronting challenges of World War I, sport, and social alienation.

  • Ancient Skiers Book 2014
    Second Edition - 2014 INTRODUCTION When I was asked if I would write the history of the Ancient Skiers, I was excited and willing. My husband, Jim, and I were a part of those early skiers during those memorable times. We had “been there and done that” and it was time to put it down on paper for future generations to enjoy. Yes, we were a part of The Ancient Skiers and it is a privilege to be able to tell you about them and the way things were. Life was different - and it was good! I met Jim on my first ski trip on the Milwaukee Ski Train to the Ski Bowl in 1938. He sat across the aisle and had the Sunday funnies - I had the cupcakes - we made a bond and he taught me to ski. We were married the next year. Jim became Certified as a ski instructor at the second certification exam put on by the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) in 1940, at the Ski Bowl. I took the exam the next year at Paradise in 1941, to become the first woman in the United States to become a Certified Ski Instructor. Skiing has been my life, from teaching students, running a ski school, training instructors, and most of all being the Executive Secretary for the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Association (PNSIA) for over 16 years. I ran their Symposiums for 26 years, giving me the opportunity to work with many fine skiers from different regions as well as ski areas. Jim and I helped organize the PNSIA and served on their board for nearly 30 years.

Toe-Touch In this jump, the legs are straddled and straight, parallel to the ground, toes pointed, knees are back, and the arms in a T motion. Despite its name, you do not touch your toes during a toe touch, you reach out farther in front of your legs. keep your back straight and bring your legs up to you. This is the most common jump. Double Hook A jump where the legs are in the "cheer sit" position. Tuck A jump in which the cheerleader uses stomach muscles to pull the legs up with the thighs parallel to the ground, and the knees pointed, together, and facing forward pulling them up to your chest. Hurdler The straight leg is either forward (a front hurdler) with arms in a touchdown, or out to the side (a side hurdler) with arms in a T. The bent knee faces the crowd in a side hurdler and the ground in a front hurdler. Pike This jump is among the most difficult of jumps. Both legs are straight out, knees locked. Arms are in a touchdown motion out in front to create a folded position in the air, this motion is also called "candlesticks". This is often performed at a ninety-degree angle to the audience in order to show off the air position. http://www.mspineapple.com/index.php/skills/jumps/81 -cheerleading -jumps?tmpl=compon ... 5/ 4/ 2015 Cheerleading Jumps Page 2 of 2 Herkie Named for Lawrence R.

  • Mechanics of the Jump Approach
    MECHANICS OF THE JUMP APPROACH A Manuscript by Irving Schexnayder, University of Southwestern Louisiana Importance of the Jump Approach When projected into flight, the center of mass of any object (including the human body) follows a predetermined, predictable, unalterable parabolic curve. Thus, establishment of the proper flight path is totally dependant upon proper force application during ground contact. Since all takeoff forces, including eccentric forces, are applied while still in contact with the ground, any resultant rotations are produced during ground contact as well. These rotations continue into flight and assist or interfere with efficient landings and clearances. In light of these facts, it is obvious that proper force application at takeoff is the only way to produce good performances in the jumping events. Although good takeoffs produce good jumps, there are prerequisites to the execution of correct takeoff mechanics. Consider an athlete executing an approach run in a jumping event. A person running at relatively low speed can demonstrate greater accuracy in aligning the body into positions favorable for efficient takeoffs, because prior mechanical errors can be easily corrected. However, when dealing with the high velocities we see in competitive jumping, the correction of errors occurring during the run is limited due to time constraints, and is often impossible without great compromises. Also, at these higher velocities, reflexes play a much greater part in the pattern of movement, again minimizing the chances to correct earlier errors in body positioning. The execution of any part of an athletic endeavor is largely dependant upon the proper execution of prior parts. In cyclic tasks such as running, the correct execution of one cycle is prerequisite to the correct execution of the next cycle.

Today, children and youth aged 24 years and below make up nearly 40 percent of the world’s population, many of whom are concentrated in underdeveloped countries. Major challenges in these regions include inequity of wealth distribution, lack of employment opportunities, and rapid urbanization. The marginalization of youth in this context carries enormous negative implications for our global future as it causes a sense of disenfranchisement and lack of upward mobility, which can lead to ethnic, religious, and political conflicts1. Our Response? Innovative programming that utilizes experiential education to transform youth from under- served communities into globally competitive leaders for positives change in their lives and the world. We pair this approach with a unique methodology which brings together local NGOs, leaders, and youth to create sustainable impact.
