Blog #3

Today I was able to show off my research and use of technology to Dr. Shinitzky and Todd Reinbolt. I was able to open them up to the app Notability and show them the resources that Proctor has provided me with to succeed. As I mentioned in my last post I have been gathering information to post on Dr. Shinitzky’s business Facebook page. This information will be posted over a period of time and help athletes who maybe struggle in the areas outlined with each video. The videos also provide the person watching real-life experience and explains the power of mental conditioning. Each post is up there forever, allowing the athlete to access them at any point in time. These resources are there to allow the athlete to access to knowledge and other informational platforms that may push them to grow themselves in this part of the training process.
With that being said I will have the opportunity to collaborate with Todd Reinbolt, he works for the Dupont Registry. Todd helped revolutionize the DuPont Registry, He helped to establish the online presence  DuPont has in the automotive industry. This is a unique opportunity for collaboration and I’m very excited about the opportunity to swap ideas and make this facebook page a walking textbook for athletes. The website we are setting up in a test drive or guinea pig experience, the data and information we are incorporating into this are expected to reachathlete worldwide. With a larger demographic of people, we want to make sure that all the information is current and can cover a wide variety of topics that athletes Amy struggle with.
I was also offered a rare opportunity to see inside the DuPont Registry and look at the sports cars, Jeeps, classics, and the crown jewel, an actual DuPont car all on display. What an amazing place! The sports cars were unbelievable and I could see myself driving one, one day. It was an experience that I will never forget, I will try to attach some images at the end of my blog. However, it was amazing to see all the cars and learn something new about them, how they work and what took place to develop them.
Tonight, I will be working with Dr. Shinitzky and listening in on my second clinical consultation. This particular young man is very promising in his particular sport. He posses all the talent, athleticism, and raw abilities you need to thrive however, he has been struggling with some out of sports issues. This individual wanted to strength his mental focus and get the talent hyper-focusing. Now wither-focusing, we put him in a situation where he was in competition with myself. The ideas besides this were to have him focus on what he was doing rather than what I was up to. This notation allowed him to focus on his progress and competing with himself rather than the success that I was having. We also worked on his short term working memory, the idea was that he could master laser focus if he practiced these steps. We used words and numbers with her repeated back after hearing the list. The last part of it was going over a three-step plan: 1.) What is the plan? 2.) what actually happened? 3.) What did you learn from it? It's important to go over this checklist because with both a win or lose there are lessons that come with both.

Weekly Reflection #3 This last week has been the best yet. I was able to finish my research paper, I met with Dr. Shinitzky to discuss his social media presence, and was able to start wrapping up my time in Florida. I wanted to boost Dr. Shinitzky’sInstagram, facebook, and twitter pages. I worked with a new app called Image Quote, I had never used this app and was interested to see what I could make. I learned that the app allows me to make the background anything I wanted, and then use a text box to write the quotes. I found it really cool to repay Dr. Shinitzky and teach me how to use this technology to his advantage! I had acquired them to use the app and thought that Dr. Shinitzky would appreciate me teaching him as well. We spend a lot of time working with this app to really make these images that best they could be. I wanted them to look professional and really pop for the reader. The idea behind this project came from someone asking Dr. Shinitzky to post quotes about the th...

Weekly reflection #2 This week has been phenomenal, I have been able to gain so much clinical experience so much in what feels like such a short time. Dr. Shinitzky and I have done so much this week. The opportunities I have had are life-changing, the knowledge, insight, and wisdom I have obtained this week have placed me in a great position. I was able to shadow, Dr. Lodato, meet with Paris Figure skaters, talk on the phone with James Schwabach, and many other elite junior athletes. Early in the week,  I was able to have a phone call with James Schwebach, he is the Tampa Bay Rays mental Conditioning coach. I was nervous and excited at the same time. I was able to ask him a few questions. My questions were as follows: How do you work with athletes that have explosive emotions? What steps do you take? How do they recenter themselves and go back to competing at a high level? Also, what made you want to be a mental Conditioning coach. These questions were important to me and I w...

Blog #6 Today I worked on a research paper and met with Dr. Shinitzky to go over a slide show that he put together. With the research paper, I was looking how to strongly succeed in the world of Sport Psychology, Sports Hypnosis, and Mental training from a business perspective. As we all know having a successful business depends on the clients (athletes) and regular patients, but what happens when you can't be found? I was looking gain feedback from athletes and online sources. With this feedback, I will be able to gain better knowledge of what it takes to have a successful, strong, and lasting business in the world of mental conditioning. I also looked at the slide show that I mentioned in the introduction paragraph. The life after sport presentation was part of media Psychology. The slide show that Dr. Shinitzky broke down, showed ideas and outlined what’s happens to athletes after their competitive sport days are over. The first topic was looking at morals and behavior, we...
