Referee Interview
You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialise correctly.
I interviewed an interscholastic referee I've known for about 20 years now. Bill has officiated for the majority of that time, stopping not that long ago. I thought it would be useful to hear things from a ref's perspective. What I found most interesting was when I asked him what the hardest part of officiating was. I was completely expecting him to say "bad coaches" or something along that line. If you don't want me to spoil it for you before you listen, stop reading this now and continue after listening to the interview. So what he said was: parents. I never thought about the fact that it's easier to control coaches where it is normal to give warnings, technicals, and sometimes eject a coach, but there are no technicals for the crowd. Not to mention, your average parent doesn’t have the same sport IQ as a coach or ref, so they can be more likely to get on the ref and not fully understand a situation. Not to mention, parents are inherently protective of their children. I know in the future I will hold the parents of my teams to higher standards, much like they show in a "teachable moment" video for the NFHS coaching course.

What is UniCommons.com?
Pronounced YOU-nee-commons, the name conveys a sense of togetherness in learning. "Uni" is a recognized contraction of "university" and also means "one" in the formation of compound words ("Uni," n.d.). This project focuses on a return to the original meaning of university as "a community of masters and scholars" ("University," n.d., para. 1). "Commons" represents shared ground or a shared road ("Concurrency," 2008) whereby learners at UniCommons.com may share a common platform to develop and present their scholarship.

Offensive Philosophy
This is what I would hope my offense to look like when I become a coach. It is an offense designed for speed not neccessarily size.

Attached is a mock inventory I created after I went through the equipment in an elementary school's equipment storage room.

Benefits From a Vegetarian Diet
There has been much controversy over vegetarian diets since they became popular. People start thinking one thing about the diet and soon the belief spreads like the flu. There are many truths and myths out there about vegetarian diets. This is due to people not being properly informed on vegetarian diets. They just believe whatever they hear about the diet and form their opinion based solely on that, regardless of facts. Although some of the rumors are accurate, people need to be better informed on the subject. The rumor I found interesting is that people believes eating a vegetarian diet makes you more healthy.

Effects of Cardiovascular Exercise on Clinical Disorders
I've had sleep disorders, often referred to as low grade insomnia, my entire life. Even as a child. While I have always been into biking, I used it in more of a moderate exercise way than actual continues vigorous exercise. For this class I have been vigorously working out more and more, and have noticed some major changes in my sleep patterns. At first, I would sleep on nights that I had gone to the gym earlier that day. Now I am actually sleeping every night without any sleep aids- herbal, natural or pharmaceutical. Read more »

Rejuvenating Your Majors' Club
Project Purpose: Re-form the physical activity and health majors' club at Eastern Oregon University. The club should include both on-campus and online students, since there are a substantial number of majors in both venues.
Background: The physical education majors club existed in the past, and still exists on paper today. In the 1990s, the club was active at sporting events to raise money for their functions. They served a major role as the "Quinn Crazies" and collected money in fundraising efforts at the games. The club eventually diminished and is currently inactive. Read more »

Grades: 2-3
Equipment: Foam Frisbees, one for each student; colored dots or targets; large parachute and music player.
Warm-Up Activity: begin class by performing fitness activities with the large parachute. The parachute encourages group cooperation, and is a fun way to have students complete fitness activities.
