For this post I found an intriguing website from the University of Oregon. Since I'm not planning on being a teacher of any sort, I found something that I can more closely relate to. My emphasis in Kinesiology is Strength & Conditioning. This is a page related to the U of O's strength and conditioning program. It's a site composed of numerous links to Facilities, Training methods, History, and pretty much everything related to their program. The site also includes videos and pictures which is always a good thing in my book. The most helpful thing to me was their examples of Off-season, In-season training.
It amazed me while I was browsing this site when I saw the training facilities available to Oregon athletes. I couldn't help but compare them to the ones I see here at UH. I wasn't embarrassed, just a little in awe. It's often been said that an athletics program is only as strong as it's Strength & Conditioning program. That being said, it's almost a miracle that our school can compete so well athletically when we don't have half the support and facilities of most Universities.

I'm not sure if UH has an athletics website, but the very fact that U of O has a website for their athletics to showcase their program certainly says something. The site itself is definitely pertinent to your area of study, kinesiology. I think the site would also be relevant to anyone pursuing a career as a physical education teacher.
