    Jence Rhoads: Jence was a standout basketball player at Vanderbilt University and then later professionally in Romania. I had Jence Rhoads for my instructor for Coaching the Mental Side class and this class laid the foundation for my thirst for sport psychology. Previously, I had read her basketball profile on Vanderbilt’s website. No doubt, Jence’s family background is sports. Her dad played basketball for Wake Forest and then played professionally overseas. Her mother played basketball at Slippery Rock University and also was on the 1984 Olympic Handball Team with Reita Clanton. It’s a small world. I wonder what it was like around the dinner table at the Rhoad’s house? I would think constant talk about basketball and handball to include the mental side. I see this trend often in families and it seems to validate in my mind that genetics…

    Family and communities are vital in growth, however, growth of character is a personal journey. The routes taken such as changing or accepting oneself, it is these uncontrollable situations that determines the development of an individual’s identity. “Not my friend hair itself, for I quickly understood that it was innocent… it was the way I related to it that was the problem.” (Walker 1090). An individual may choose to pay mind to the outside view of how your life should be run, however, it is he who decides if his identity changes, it is he who allows his identity to become affected by these…

    - parents should encourage children to participate in sports and clubs that are productive and give their children a feeling of accomplishment. However, it is not always advantageous for a parent to push a child toward a particular sport or activity. For example, a boy with little skill or interest in football might play the game because of pressure from his father, just as a girl who doesn’t like cheerleading and isn’t good at it might do it because her mother was cheerleading captain—but this is unlikely to improve self-esteem.…

    There are around 21.5 million young athletes between the ages of 6-17 that play in organized youth sports (Kelley 34). Numerous children participate in sports with the help of external forces, for example: parents, coaches, peers, and more. This investment can impact adolescents’ health in a positive or negative way (Hyman 119). Receiving help can be a wonderful gift, but people’s selfish pride can ruin sports for adolescents. Youths are powerless against outside help because it is usually given by adults who are considered more “wiser.” This can cause children to stop playing sports all together as they mature because of the trauma they may receive at such a young age. It is important to examine this issue because this is a problem that…

    Hepworth et al explains that being conscious of deficits and obstacles while assessing strengths is helpful in reaching goals (2013). In assessing these, we will still discuss how her strengths will help her overcome these negative circumstances. The third quadrant is deficits or obstacles and environmental factors. Lorene’s oldest brother, who is 19, is still living at home with the family. He has been in trouble with the law and is on probation. This is considered a deficit, however, Lorene sees her brother and does not get into any trouble following in his footsteps. As seen in her relationships with older adults, Lorene is very respectful of authority and responsibility. Her other brother, who was abused by their father, is reportedly aggressive and angry. Lorene’s strength in seeing what her brother must deal with can be heartbreaking. Lorene is strong and her environment since the abuse has changed dramatically. She has strengths in plasticity and resilience. Lorene also has limited resources for clean clothing from home. She must overcome teasing from other children because of poor hygiene.

    From the angle that the case study has been presented, I as the school’s social worker have been tasked to look into the case of “Yasmin” a previously high achieving student who has recently been scoring low grades and is reportedly moody. We have been informed that she lives with her mother and five other siblings. Their ages were not presented, and as such, we will be conducting this analysis on the assumption that her mother is in her fifties, her eldest brother in his twenties, her elder sister in her late adolescence (17 – 18 yrs), and that her younger siblings are in primary school. Much of our analysis will be based on Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory of Development [1950; 1968].…

    Approximately one in eight Australian teenagers between 15 and 24 years of age are reported to experience depression (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2015).

There are fortunately many treatment options effective in easing some symptoms that can often interrupt daily functioning. Exercise could be an important aspect of these treatments that is often overlooked, yet has many constructive mental and physical benefits. These benefits are caused by chemicals released during exercise, the friendships formed, and the control and motivation to succeed felt by participants.…

    A theory which was helpful whilst carrying out my activity was Eriksons lifespan theory, This theory believes we go trough stages in life and have to have a positive outcome from the stage in order to successfully move to the next stage. I have been able to understand Laurens behaviour by having knowledge of this theory which makes me very patient when speaking to her, because Lauren did not have a social circle when she was younger and did not learn how to develop relationships outside of her family this shows in her adult life when displaying social skills. As I mentioned in the plan, Lauren was severely bullied when she was at school and this lead to her becoming withdrawn. By doing this activity it has helped her to have empowerment, a feeling that she is not used to. She also practiced social skills with me and added a bit of humour in also as she was becoming more relaxed during the course of the activity. This was one of my aims and I feel I achieved this, to achieve this I asked her questions about herself but also chatted about what she liked on tv and encouraged her to speak about this by asking questions and giving her feedback, I also was genuinely interested in what she had to say. Even though she is at adult stage just now I think if she carries on to do activities like this it will…
