United States Olympic Committee
Yesterday we hosted the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) Manager for Internships during KN 400 Business Principles for Fitness Professionals. We are happy to announce that we will working on an agreement that allows our KN students to apply for USOC internship positions for credit at the three sites in Chula Vista, CA, Lake Placid, NY and Colorado Springs.
Internships range from strength and conditioning, operations, marketing, nutrition, sports medicine, development, paraolympics and many more. about 35 positions are available every year during all three semesters. About 600 applicants apply and the USOC seeks in the future to hire interns when jobs are available. We expect to be ready to accept internship applicants for this opportunity in Fall 2010.
I think I have a pretty good chance at this too.
textsfromlastnight is great - thanks for reminding me of that one. I’m also very partial to fmylife.com
The internet has to be the biggest source of displacement activities in the world, and the scourge of work productivity.
So, um, this may be the wrong place to ask but…
Do you actually train girlie???
I haven’t seen any updated training posts in weeks 
MR
Yikes! I’m being spied on!!
oh hai there Meester Boss Man Sir!!
Yes, I train!! my ass and hips are sore in ways I’ve never felt, and its oddly encouraging.
I’m a workout behind Molly, but I’ve been doing my foam rolling and mobility assignments, and I plan to catch up on the workouts this weekend.
I may have also started to clean up the diet after the COUGHNEWSCOUGH
ps. I hate doing more than 4 or 5 reps of something. My front squat last night sucked leper balls. well, form was awesome, but I got up to only 115x8. grrr.
but this leads me to a short story.
I wore my puma’s to the gym last night. I was doing my side planks after my ipod had died, but I left my buds in so no one would talk to me. I overheard one guy asking another, “WTF is she doing?” the answer was, “Man, don’t question it. She’s the strongest person in here, she does weird shit. Wait till u see her shoes she wears sometimes.” I tried so hard to not LOL so they wouldnt know I could hear them.

lulz. When I’m at my commercial gym and start doing full squat cleans , a few eye bells stare at my direction.
Now when I start snatching with Oly shoes(lots of noise)…oh man do I get people looking. I usually do:
1x3 snatch
1x3 ab flashing in front of mirror
1x3 snatch
1x3 ab flashing in front of mirror
I have my earphones on the whole time so people are probably saying “wtf you doing guy”. I like the attention either way ha!
ktxl8er.
just imagine the shit you DON’T overhear.
Deja- I don’t want to think about having to flog that many people.

fixed that for ya.
ok definitely forgot my OBSV stories for the last couple days.
I’ve seen 3 foam rollers around the PT gym, and haven’t seen anyone use em, so yesterday I ponied up and asked what those white foam cylinders are for. Bummer. They’re glorified supportive devices, rest knees on em, stand on em for balance, etc. GRRRRRRR.
So yesterday I find out one of the PT’s is also going to school for massage therapy. Encouraged that he’s pursuing education related to but outside of what he went to school for initially, I pay a little more attention when he talks. Today I see him giving a face/neck massage to one of the other PT’s suffering from sinus congestion and neckache. I meandered over in time to see him using (god i always forget what this is really called) what he called “Contract and Stretch” on her neck… having her push against his hand before he stretched her just a little farther each time, increasing ROM. Thoroughly encouraged, I asked a few questions, he started talking about how he can also get his NMT from the same school with just a little extra work. I asked if they also offered ART.
I had to explain to both PT’s what ART is. So much for keeping them from figuring out how much I really know. I did my best to sound like an idiot, I promise. Said I heard about it online. I refrained from banging my head against the wall, but I did play with one of the grip toys for a few min.
I didn’t stop flashing the abs after you rolled your eyes the first time. I guess I really do like attention.

It’s called PNF stretching. You’re welcome. =D

Remind me again why you don’t want them to know how much you know? That would drive me F-ING CRAZY! It seriously kills me when people are in fields in which they clearly have MINIMAL interest! GRRR!

Because of the incredible tunnel vision they have with respect to their field, to which they hold on with retard like strength. For being soft, ignorant motherfuckers, they’re remarkably stubborn.
^^^^^
May or may not be true for everyone I meet in PT around here. If they knew how much I know, its possible that I would piss off/intimidate them, and when I’ve already made up my mind that this is the least expensive/most convenient way to get that piece of paper that says I know what I’m doing I’m not about to fuck it up. I’ve burned bridges at one PT gym already around here, and I’m avoiding a repeat performance. I’m sure I’ll learn something along the way, even if it’s how long I can hold my tongue and what I’m willing to go through to see myself succeed.
I can always forget everything I don’t need to know upon graduation. However, I am here and now making a request…
if i EVER start to get that tunnel vision, where I think I have nothing left to learn, SOMEONE come with a shockey monkey and remind me that I will never, ever be finished learning.
It’s 0630 in the fucking morning, I’m posting like a grownup, I actually made breakfast (big turkey sausage patty with feta melted on top of it), and “Night at the Roxbury” soundtrack is playing in the background.
News?
Re: the overheard comment. Hysterical!
I often feel like a zoo-animal in my wimpy-ass gym. Luckily for me I am fairly blind so I don’t see everything that goes on. But on Wed. nite when I was pulling my 150# money set, my husband was watching me. He just told me that apparently all the guys in the weight room had stopped to watch me pull this, with the look on their faces of “wow, can she really get that off the ground”.
Too funny.

Lol! A sophisticated bear.
I doubt you’ll ever get tunnel vision. You don’t seem the type. And more so when you have a passion for something - you’re always interested in what’s new in that field, getting more info, learning about things related to that field, etc.
what is this shockey monkey you speak of?
You sure they weren’t just checking out your arse?

Kimba- very big RAWR for you!! stopping traffic in the gym! bowchicawowow!! I dont understand the question for news, though. I could be very dense atm.
masch— : Tech Support II : Foamy The Squirrel - YouTube
Cal and buckeye girl–> it’s quite possible, and not in the least offensive. I just think it’s funny.
extra foam rolling tonight, as yesterday was an incredibly long day (530am-1230am), and today was a work day from 8-6. Because we got more than 1cm of snow last night (ok, about 7-8 inches, blowing and drifting included), only a few people decided they needed their drugs today, so work was slow.
tomorrow, I get the day off, and plan on even more foam rolling, laundry, homework, and the gym. oh, the gym. The past few times I’ve gone it’s been nearly empty. Dunno if it’s been good timing on my part of if the resolutioners died early and took a few of the regulars with em.
