For my Capstone’s Community Based Learning Project, I volunteered at Walker Elementary School as the Intramural Track and Field Coach. The program is open to all 4th and 5th grade students across the district. Each elementary school works collaboratively to ensure that each school begins practice three weeks before the track meet. I am in charge of organizing and executing practice at Walker Elementary during the student’s lunch recess. This gives us half an hour each day to work on the skills required for the sport’s individual disciplines. Through this, I hope to foster a passion for an active lifestyle and create a fun environment for the students that is not driven by competition; focusing on personal achievement rather than winning or losing. Above all, I want my students to leave this program with a smile on their faces and a sense of accomplishment that they can be proud of.
