THE THREE PRINCIPLES THAT I CHOSE: 
1. Cognitive mediation theory 
A theory that explains the advantages of a demonstration suggests that when someone watches a model, they process the movement information they see and turn it into a cognitive code that they remember and use to duplicate the skill.
2. Distribution of practice principle – Distributed vs Massed
A distributed practice schedule is one where there is a significant gap in time between practice sessions or trials. When following a massed practice program, there is extremely little downtime in between sessions or trials
3. Augmented feedback principle – concurrent, terminal, etc.
• A generic term used to describe information about a performance that supplements
the sensory feedback and comes from a source external to the performer; it is some-
times referred to as extrinsic or external feedback!
For one of the sources please use

What Did You Learn (Chapters 1-6, Unit 1)?
Reply from Marco Lopez
Chapter 1: Critical thinking is not simply thinking, negative thinking, or creative thinking. This key concept really stuck with me because it shows a deeper level of thinking in which you really have to devote your time and efforts in order to find a solution. 
Chapter 2: Ethical decision making was a huge concept because I really liked the fact that people made decisions based on their beliefs and what they thought was right or wrong in certain situations. 
Chapter 3: Organizational strategies like identifying goals and objectives. I personally think that a big part of success comes from having clean goals and little by little reaching them. Objectives play a huge part as well because it’s usually never an easy path to reach your goals, and you will be tested along the way with multiple objectives. 
Chapter 4: Leadership was a key concept that stood out to me because in every sport there are leaders. The concept of leadership is so intriguing because every leader has their method of success, and although sometimes they are questionable methods, they work. 
Chapter 5: Sexism in a sport really stood out to me because to this day, we have certain sports in which female competitors are very rare even though they would like to participate. That is because the “norm” is for all males to play which I feel like is unfair. 
Chapter 6: Gathering information really stood out to me because it plays a huge part in managerial skills. Managers should make decisions based off certain things like players attitude, how they work with teammates, and how they perform in certain situations.

4 Aspects of Professional Sport
Reply from Oscar Avalos
Professional sports differ from other industries in several ways:
1.  Labor Management relations: regulates contracts of athletes, coaches, and other faculty members and ensures they are being treated fairly   
Emphasis on Performance and Interdependence: Success in professional sports is highly dependent on individual and team performance, with tangible outcomes such as wins, losses, and statistics. In professional sports, teams and players are competitors on the field but rely on each other to sustain the league or sport. This interdependence means that while teams compete, they must also cooperate to maintain the integrity and viability of the league, through agreements on rules, schedules, and revenue sharing.
Shorter Career Lifespan and Free Agency: Athletes typically have limited years to compete at a high level due to physical demands, making career longevity shorter than in many other professions. Because of short careers the creation of free agency gives every team an opportunity to develop and grow with other clubs or franchises. This allows rebuilding teams and restructuring contracts.
Athlete Branding and Endorsements: Professional athletes often build personal brands that attract lucrative endorsement deals, leveraging their fame and influence beyond their sporting careers. With endorsements, this gives the leagues and teams profit and gain coverage towards the club or franchise. 
Reply from Walter Pinto
The 4 main aspects of professional sport that make it unique to other industries are it’s marketing, financial structures, careers involved, and sport as a social institution. In what other industry can the careers of so many be affected by immediate results that are ultimately out of your control. Sure a coaching staff can condition you to become faster and stronger, and build on your technique, but ultimately the results of a few athletes can make or break a season. Your facing other teams that are also on top of their game, and losing isn’t necessarily down to a lack of preparation. It’s due to a number of tangibles and non-tangibles, something even as luck on a single shot, basket or touchdown can change the face of an organization over night. Specifically in football, you will notice how hard it is to maintain a managing position for more than a season. 

Prepare for and complete an oral presentation of your findings to an audience of faculty and students. This should last between 15 and 30 minutes. It should be formatted as an explanation of each of the subspecialties and then using some of the research articles you used in your papers to provide detailed examples of treatment interventions investigated and their outcomes. Inclusion of information from the interviews may also be used. This will need to be scheduled in the second half of April.
The idea is to provide an explanation of the role of the PT in each of the 5 different subdisciplines. Key information would be a problem each type of patient has, what the therapeutic activity is, how the PT accomplishes that, and how effective it is based on the results of a study on that treatment. In other words, the therapeutic activity would be reinforced by a research article you used. You don’t need all 5 articles from each topic. Just choose one (two at most) that helps you make your point. A little explanation of the methods of the study will also help provide context to the results. Lastly, a little about what the subject of your interview says about research from a student’s perspective will help round out the presentation.
the 5 subdisciplines are ( Neurological Rehabilitation,  Acute Care Inpatient Hospital Rehabilitation, Burn and Woundcare Rehabilitation, Pediatrics Rehabilitation,  Homecare Rehabilitation)

This is an opportunity to delve deeper into a structured inequality or health disparity among a specific population group.

Just write feedback and any positive criticism about what you liked about their post or what you think they need to work on when writing their post. You can write anything about their internship experience too. 
For my posts, you’ll need to refer to this information: 
I worked at Vibrantcare Rehabiliation as a physical therapy aide.
I assisted the physical therapists with healing clients by teaching them exercises to help them recover their conditions, performed electrical stim and placed ice or heat on certain patients, cleaned the clinic, ensured that all the equipment was put back in its rightful place and also did the laundry.
I also multitasked as a receptionist.
I dealt with the patient’s insurances, authorizations for getting more appointments approved, discharging patients no longer needed physical therapy, arrived patients on the online schedule when they came to their appointment, collected copays, created new patient’s paperwork, scanned the new patient’s photo IDs, insurance cards and new patient paperwork on their first appointment, pulled patients charts for the next day’s appointment schedule, did patients reports, and contacted new patients to recommend physical therapy at our clinic.”
I will also provide a sample of my discussion board posts so that you can get information out of that. You may use them but please put all your discussion board posts into your own words and elaborate more on your own knowledge please! Thank you and good luck! 🙂 
When finish the initial posts, I can submit the posts online then I can provide the peers responses as a sample too if needed because I am unable to see my peers responses until I post my initial response. Thank you! 

using a word processor you will write up an evaluation of your research article using the prompts below. use each of the items (1-15) as sections with clear headings. each section will be written in paragraph form, double spaced, with clear, concise writing. DO NOT COPY THE AUTHORS WORDS! see rubric for specifics regarding breakdown of points.
