Teach Something

To all those that might be following my blog...I apologize for the break in action. Its been a hectic semester and with football/teaching winding down I now have more time to write.

We just finished a very successful off-season and I'm really proud to have been apart of the process. Our guys achieved the goals that our Ben (our Head Strength Coach) set out for them and I believe that we are ready to have a great summer.

This past semester was my first semester to teach at a University. I was faced with many challenges that I normally wouldn't be faced with...I was called to teach 2 days before my first class. However, I believe that I delivered a unique product to our grad students and gave them a really good look at what "training" is really all about. This summer I will be teach a course on Exercise and Weight Control and this fall I'll be teaching 2 classes. I'm really excited about this opportunity.

Ok, take home point for today...if you want to really learn something prepare as though you are going to have to teach it. If you can teach something to somebody else you will know the material. Not only will you "know" it, but you'll have internalized it and probably thought about whatever it is in greater detail than ever.
