Overall, my independent study really cemented my teaching skills, and also improved my knowledge of, and ability to teach the Olympic lifts. It also provided me with other ideas for beneficial sport-specific workouts that a football team can use. I learned WHY these are beneficial, and also learned how to warm up an athlete properly before a weight-lifting workout. I learned the relationship between flexibility and strength. I also enjoyed improving my ability to relate to school-age athletes and help them balance giving all out effort while still having fun and avoiding burnout.
