This section outlines how the psychological, physical, and social conditions of the Special Olympics athlete influence his participation in sport. Coaches need to be aware of these aspects to understand their athletes better and to design appropriate training programs that meet each athlete’s needs. The emphasis is on what the athletes can do so that the coach can assist them in building on their strengths. Unit 2: Teaching and Training To maximize time, it is vital that written plans and programs be developed. They are necessary to chart developments and to keep on target. In addition, they are necessary for the center or school or in the unlikely event of an accident. A variety of levels of instruction and assistance can be provided to athletes to facilitate learning, skill development, and competition success. Each coach needs to address each athlete individually. Unit 3: Preparing & Coaching During Competition Competitions provide the opportunity for your athletes to show what they’ve learned in practice. Just as your athletes’ focus shifts on competition days from learning and practicing to competing, your focus shifts from teaching skills to coaching athletes as they perform those skills in competitions. Of course, the competition is a teaching opportunity as well, but the focus is on performing what has been learned, participating, and having fun. Unit 4: Managing the Program Managing your program is also a critical element in this process. In this concluding unit, we provide information and tools designed to help you effectively manage your program. Our aim is to help you make a successful Special Olympics program happen! If you are like most youth league or volunteer coaches, you have probably been recruited from the ranks of concerned parents, sport enthusiasts, or community volunteers. Like many rookie and veteran coaches, you probably have had little formal instruction on how to coach. But when the call went out for coaches to assist with the local Special Olympics sport program, you answered because you like to help individuals who are learning a sport, enjoy sports yourself, and want to be involved in a worthwhile community activity.

Early 1850 bodices had a Basque opening over a che- misette, the bodice continued to be very close fitting, the waist sharp and the shoulder less slanted, during the 1850s to 1866. During the 1850s the dresses were cut without a waist seam and during the 1860s the round waist was raised to some extent. The decade of the 1870s is one of the most intricate era of women’s fashion. The style of the early 1870s relied on the renewal of the polonaise, strained on the back, gath- ered and puffed up into an detailed arrangement at the rear, above a sustaining bustle, to somewhat broaden at the wrist.

  • Hat Should I Wear for a Horse Show? While the Answer to This Question
    hat should I wear for a horse show? While the answer to this question will W vary depending on whether you are riding in a local schooling show or competing in a rated show (e.g. the “A” rated Midstates Horse Shows in Mason City, or the “B” rated Valley Park in Des Moines), the following information should help you figure out what is appropriate. If you have any questions about whether something is appropriate, ask your trainer. This is always good advice. Helmet & Hair Whether you are jumping huge fences or just sitting on your horse waiting for your lesson to begin, accidents can happen to anyone, at any time. Thus, any time you are mounted you need to be wearing a helmet with the chin-strap fastened. Purchase an ASTM/SEI-approved helmet that hasn’t been involved in a fall. After a serious impact resulting in obvious helmet damage, discard the helmet and buy a new one. You May wish to replace it even if there is no external damage. The general rule is to replace a helmet every 5 years, whether or not it has been involved in a fall. When trying on helmets, wear your hair as you’ll wear it when riding, as this will affect the fit. Helmets should fit snugly and be worn over the top of your head, with the brim resting just above your eyebrows. Do not wear your helmet perched on top of your head, or tilted back. If your helmet wiggles when you shake your head, it is too large.
