Introduction to Sport Fitness and Coaching

Module: E112
TMA 01
Question 1a)
I play Ice hockey at a semi-professional level for the Milton Keynes Lightning in the English Premier League which takes up alot of my spare time with training twice a week and playing 2 if not 3 games in a week as well. One of the highlights of my Ice hockey career is having the privilege of having represented my country at junior international level, at two world championships (U18's, U20's). I have my level 1 Ice hockey coaching badge and try to help out coaching the junior teams on a regular basis. Hopefully what I will learn on this course, I can transfer to help me become a better coach.
Question 1b)
I have many motivations for opting to study e112. I decided against going to university at the age of 18 due to my sporting commitments, as I felt I needed to take a break from education since then through work and unpaid coaching I have decided to pursue a career as a PE teacher and this was the ideal module for me to start my degree in as I have a background in personal training. From and educational perspective I want to increase my knowledge of the sport and fitness sector. As an already qualified personal trainer I feel that this will help improve my practice through studying about training methods, training principals and nutrition I will be able to better understand my client’s needs, so I can help them in moving faster towards achieving their goal. In turn this will help me to ensure that my clients are satisfied and return for more sessions.
Question 2
Football is a game played by two opposing teams of 11 players trying to put an oval ball in to their opponent’s goal. The team that puts the ball into the opposing team’s goal the most times during the length of the game is then declared the winner. I my opinion I believe football to fall in to the category of a sport. (The council of Europe, 1992) define Sport as any form of competitive and physical activity, whether it is casual
