Athletic injury care training in high school coaches

The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand the client and occupational therapist experiences of a mental health group. A secondary aim was to explore the extent to which this group seemed to have reflected a client-centred approach. The topic emerged from personal and professional issues related to the therapist as teacher and to inconsistencies in practice with the profession's client-centred philosophy. This philosophy, the study's frame of reference, was established in terms of themes related to the client-therapist relationship and to client values. Typical practice was illustrated through an extensive literature review. Structured didacticexperiential methods aiming toward skill development were predominant. The interpretive sciences and, to a lesser extent, the critical sciences directed the methodology. An ongoing support group at a community mental health clinic was selected as the focus of the study; the occupational therapist leader and three members became the key participants. A series of conversational interviews, the . core method of data collection, was supplemented by observation, document review, further interviews, and fieldnotes. Transcriptions of conversations were returned to participants for verification and for further reflection Analysis primarily consisted of coding and organizing data according to emerging themes. The participants' experiences of group, presented as narrative stories within a group session vignette, were also returned to participants. There was a common understanding of the group's structure and the importance of having "air time" within the group; however, differences in perceptions of such things as the importance of the group in members' lives were noted. All members valued the therapeutic aspects of group, the role of group as weekly activity and, to a lesser extent, the learning that came from group. The researcher's perspective provided a critique of the group experience from a client-centred perspective. Some areas of consistency with client-centred practice were noted (e.g., therapist attitudes); however the group seemed to function far from a client-centred ideal. Members held little authority in a -relationship dominated by the leaders, and leader agendas rather than member values controlled the session. Possible reasons for this discrepancy ranging from past health care encounters through to co-leader discord emerged. The actual and potential significance of this study was discussed according to many areas of implications: to OT practice, especially client-centred group practice, to theory development, to further areas of research and methodology considerations, to people involved in the group and to my personal growth and development.

Education, sport and myth in the community of Glengarry, Ontario : the athletic career of Roderick R. McLennan. 260 St. Catharines, Ont. : Faculty of Education, Brock University ;

This study examined how the athletic career of Roderick R. McLennan contributed to the popularization and subsequent development of Caledonian games in Ontario during the latter nineteenth century. Initially, the development of Caledonian games during the 1800s was examined to provide a contextual framework for McLennan's career. This investigation revealed that the games emerged from rural athletic events at pioneer working bees in the first quarter of the nineteenth century to regional sporting events by the mid-1800s, and finally into annual federated Caledonian games in 1870. Noteworthy primary source material for this chapter included the John MacGillivray Papers at the National Archives of Canada, the Scottish American Journal (NY) and the files retained by the Glengarry Sport Hall of Fame in Maxville, Ontario. Following the investigation of Caledonian games, McLennan's early athletic career was studied. Analysis of the Roderick and Farquhar McLennan Papers at the Archives of Ontario and the newspapers from the period revealed that McLennan rose to popularity in 1865 through a "Championship of the World" hammer throwing match in Cornwall and two "Starring Tours". The next chapter examined the height of McLennan's career through an investigation of the Roderick McLennan versus Donald Dinnie rivalry of the early .. n 1870s. It was detennined that the rivalry between McLennan and Dinnie, the champion athlete of Highland games in Scotland, was a popular attraction and had an impact on the Toronto and Montreal games of 1870 and the Toronto games of 1872. Finally, the athletic records established by McLennan during the 1860s and 1870s were investigated. These records were examined through the context of a media controversy over McLennan's feats that developed in the early 1880s between two newspapers. This controversy erupted between the Toronto Mail and the Spirit of the Times. Caledonian games in Canada have only been briefly examined and a thorough examination of prominent Canadian figures in this context has yet to be undertaken. This study unearths a prominent Canadian athlete of Scottish decent and details his involvement in the Caledonian games of nineteenth century Ontario.

The effects of athletic scholarships on motivation in sport

The presence of rewards has been found to undermine intrinsic motivation (Deci & Ryan, 1999). This conclusion is primarily based on research conducted in non-sporting environments. The purpose of this study was to examine perceived motivational changes resulting from the hypothetical manipulation of a reward (i.e., athletic scholarships). Differences in "present" motivation between scholarship and non-scholarship athletes were also assessed. Gender, life roles, and sport experience were also examined in relation to scholarship status. Basketball players from four Ontario (n = 70) and seven U.S. Division I universities (n = 46) were examined. All athletes completed a set of demographic questions, as well as questions from the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS; Pelletier, Fortier, Vallerand, Tuson, Briere, & Blais, 1995) which assessed their "present" motivation. Athletes also completed the SMS to evaluate their "perceived future" motivation based on a hypothetical manipulation of the scholarship status. For Ontario non-scholarship athletes, extrinsic regulation (an extrinsic motive) increased with the introduction of a scholarship and the intrinsic motive to experience stimulation decreased. For U.S. scholarship athletes, the intrinsic motive to accomplish things decreased when scholarships were removed. When the two scholarship status groups were compared across "present" levels of motivation, U.S. scholarship males reported significantly higher levels of introjected regulation compared to Ontario non-scholarship males. Ontario non-scholarship females reported significantly higher levels of introjected regulation compared to U.S. scholarship females. U.S. scholarship athletes reported significantly higher levels of external regulation compared to Ontario non-scholarship athletes. Results offer partial support for self-determination theory. Implications for future research are discussed.

Life after hockey : an examination of athletic career transition and the National Hockey League's career transition program

The existent body of athletic career retirement literature is scant in studies of career transition programs. In an effort to attend to this analytical gap, the present study set out to examine the transitions of National Hockey League (NHL; ice hockey) alumni, as well as the effect ~and effectiveness of their respective career transition program, the Life After Hockey program. Interviews with 17 NHL/program alumni revealed that quality of transition (to post-playing life) was affected by: the continuity between pre- and postretirement environments; athletic identity; physical/psychological health (particularly with respect to post-concussion syndrome); selective coping strategies (e.g., preretirement planning (e.g., financial planning, continued education), positive reinterpretation, alcohol/substance abuse); and social support. Also affecting quality of transition, and found to be highly effective (particularly in generating new occupational opportunities, assisting in the acquisition of new skills, and providing a system of continuous support), was the Life After Hockey program.

Youth engagement: the ethics of inclusion and exclusion

This study focuses on the engagement of children and youth in their communities and the ways they are included in and excluded from community life. Using a content analysis of a small town United States newspaper over a one-year period, examples of engagement were identified and classified into 12 categories: programs, clubs and special events; fundraising and community service; business and community support; participation in community events; school events; athletic and other performances; employment; involvement in local planning and decision making; serving as a community representative; visibility and recognition; criminal activity and accidents; and use of public space. Examples of community exclusion were identified as well. Young people were engaged primarily through activities that were adult-directed or supervised, or organized through schools, churches, and youth clubs. There was little involvement in local planning, decision making, or activism. Some evidence existed of peer teaching, leadership, and self-initiated activities, as well as intentional efforts by adults to give youth a greater voice in community activities. Implications include several ethical issues regarding the role of young people in community life, particularly young children, and the need for greater awareness on the part of communities of the contributions young people can make.

Les Clubs de « Manches de ligne » et du Dr Geoffrion : sociabilités gaies, discours publics et répression dans la région de Montréal, 1860-1910

Ce mémoire documente l’émergence d’une sous-culture gaie masculine dans la région montréalaise entre 1860 et 1910 et s’intéresse aux discours et à la répression envers les hommes ayant des comportements homosexuels ou d’inversion de genre. Par l’analyse de sources journalistiques, judiciaires et juridiques, il déconstruit une série de préjugés, notamment à l’égard des sources, présumées pauvres; du discours public sur les comportements homosexuels, supposé inexistant; et des hommes qui avaient ces comportements, que plusieurs imaginent invisibles et isolés les uns des autres. Il montre au contraire que des archives variées révèlent une vie « gaie » et le déploiement d’une opinion publique à son égard. Ainsi, l’analyse d’un important corpus d’articles de journaux et une étude de cas portant sur deux des plus anciens clubs homosexuels connus au Québec, démantelés en 1892 et en 1908, confirment l’existence de réseaux de sociabilités « gaies » dans la région montréalaise, dès le XIXe siècle. Ce faisant, il dévoile l’existence de pratiques caractéristiques des sous-cultures gaies telles que l’usage d’un vocabulaire spécifique ou l’adoption de manières efféminées par certains hommes que l’on qualifierait aujourd’hui d’homosexuels.

Clubs británicos.

Lo esencial para una vida de club es el espíritu de camaradería y un interés común de todos los miembros En Gran Bretaña abundan los clubs. Existen 18000 con varios millones de socios. Los hay deportivos; políticos, artísticos, intelectuales y sociales. Las mujeres tienen también sus clubs y hay algunos mixtos. Y durante la reciente guerra, los hombres y mujeres del Ejército y de las fábricas de armamentos encontraron su principal descanso y recreo en la vida de un club. Entre las definiciones de club, la más sencilla es la que le describe como una asociación de personas con gustos parecidos. Las gentes habían comenzado a reunirse en tabernas y cafés y después empezaron a segregarse en pequeños grupos. Si un recién llegado se hacia desagradable en uno de éstos, no tardaba en darse cuenta de ello y se retiraba. Una de las más famosas de estas peñas se reunía, a finales del siglo XVI, en la taberna llamada Mermaid, es Londres, y entre sus asiduos se encontraban Shakespeare y otros poetas y dramaturgos de su tiempo. Sin embargo, tuvieron que pasar muchos años antes de que estas reuniones tomaran el carácter de clubs y adoptaran un nombre distintivo. Se han escrito muchos volúmenes sobre los clubs de Londres del siglo XVIII. El White es el más antiguo de los que aún florecen en sus locales originales y tiene un carácter social; El Athenaeum, se diferencia bastante porque para poder pertenecer a él, el solicitante ha de haberse distinguido en la literatura o en las ciencia o haber prestado algún importante servicio social al país; El Savage club es bohemio. Su local pertenece a la segunda mitad del siglo XIX con altos techos, clásicas columnas y ancha escalera. Gran número de sus socios son escritores, artistas, músicos y actores. Entre los clubs de Londres, sólo de mujeres están el Sésamo, el Lyceum y el Instituto de mujeres que reúne a las mujeres de todas las clases sociales y se ha extendido por las zonas rurales. Sus miembros van desde las mujeres más pobres de la nación hasta Su Majestad la Reina Isabel.

Los Clubs de Alumnos Naturalistas en los Centros de Enseñanza Media.

Los Clubs de alumnos naturalistas se constituyen por estudiantes de Enseñanza Media que tienen un gran interés por el estudio de las Ciencias Naturales. Se establecen las finalidades y objetivos de estas asociaciones o clubs y se recoge el Estatuto del Club de Naturalistas de Mataró, incluyendo el banderín y el sello del club, y algunas de las excursiones que han realizado.

Clubs de pintura y modelado.

Se destaca la necesidad de estimular la creación artística en el niño pues es un medio de expresión natural que contribuye a su formación como persona. En la educación artística infantil juega un papel importante la actitud motivadora del profesor, que además de ampliar los conocimientos de los niños, estimula su imaginación y orienta en el desarrollo de todas las facultades que intervienen en todo proceso creativo, sea plástico o dinámico.

Producción de arte secuencial en Ecuador desde 2003 a 2013: análisis de clubs de cómics

En la sociedad actual es muy importante la imagen, el manejo de la misma es un valor que debemos tener como individuos u organizaciones. Parte de esta concentración por lo visual que el cómic es un objeto de estudio interesante para entender la cultura contemporánea. Adicional a esto el cómic es una propuesta estética que puede desarrollarse más en el Ecuador. Así se plantea este trabajo de investigación como un análisis de los clubes de cómic y artistas ecuatorianos, concentrándose en sus metodologías y formas de organización. Consecuentemente los relatos de los artistas y de quienes forman los clubes de cómic son la base de esta investigación para poder plasmar cómo se produce cómic en el país. De esta manera se pudo visualizar cómo artistas individuales se relacionan con instituciones públicas o privadas para lograr mantener sus proyectos vigentes y evolucionando. También se evidenciaron los puntos dentro del proceso de producción de cómic, más difícil de llevar a cabo por parte de artistas individuales y colectivos pequeños. Siendo la organizaciones grandes las que pueden mantener esos procesos de producción con más capacidad. En esta investigación: se explicó la razón de la formación de clubes de cómics. Los procesos de producción de cómics se describieron determinando las competencias y falencias de artistas y colectivos. La relación entre clubes y artistas con instituciones es la base para que se desarrollen proyectos difusión de cómic al igual que la producción de este arte.
