Limitless: Are we hurting our female pitchers? Does an imposed pitch count limit for women\u27s windmill pitchers decrease incidence of upper extremity injury?
No full textThe number of outings and pitches thrown in one week for a softball pitcher is typically far in excess of those seen in baseball pitchers (Werner et al., 2005). As a result, upper extremity pain from chronic overuse is just as much of a possibility in elite windmill (fastpitch) pitchers as it is for baseball pitchers at the same level (Minetos et al., 2020). However, the literature discusses how injury can occur as the result of the windmill pitch but provides no quantifiable data to suggest how a reduction in pitch count can be beneficial. It is possible that a reduction in overall pitch count with use of the standard Little League Chart will reduce the total amount of upper extremity pain and injury in high school aged pitchers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a mandatory pitch count for high school aged softball pitchers throughout the course of one season to see if overall pitch reduction reduces upper extremity pain and injury. This study is a recommended intervention addressing prevention of overuse injury and is significant in that the results may lead to new rules in how women’s softball pitchers are managed
Professional Industry Experience
No full textMy professional industry experience occurred at the Bloomington Clinic. The skills I improved during the term were developing a clinical care plan, consistently performing an efficient patient intake, and developing confidence in patient interactions. The research project focused on the important effect exercise and chiropractic care can have on patients with common and uncommon health conditions. The intended outcomes were to increase my ability to analyze and synthesize theoretical and research concepts from multiple perspectives in Exercise Science to inform inquiry and practice, to enhance my ability to integrate scientific research to identify and analyze trends related to the fields of Exercise Science to formulate creative responses to complex issues, and to develop my ability to model ethical decision-making and respect for differences among people represented in the various aspects of the clinical setting and in our diverse society
Formation of a Mental Health Co-Responder Unit
Get PDFThe current models of treating mentally ill people with police contact are not working and have never worked. Mentally ill people, or those in crisis, often slip through gaps in the criminal justice and hospital systems. It is time for criminal justice and medical treatment systems to work together to help those with mental illnesses. Properly implemented programs and policies will allow officers to respond better to people experiencing a crisis. These programs, and ethically implemented policies, will enable officers to better serve people by getting them the necessary services while limiting the potential for using force, jail, and hospitalization. Additionally, these programs will offer a more complete level of service, looking beyond the immediate criminal act and examining the individuals and the services they require in an effort to reduce recidivism

Minnesota Twins Professional Sport Experience
Get PDFI completed an eight-week professional sport experience with the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The sport experience consisted of both weekly sessions where our cohort was introduced to 19 guest speakers who hold different roles within the Twins organization and shadowing experience in different departments. My shadowing experiences consisted of guest services, ballpark operations, and ballpark tours. I was able to see first-hand how guest services respond to different situations that occur, such as re-seating guests who were unable to sit in their ticketed seats. I was hopeful to build confidence in myself to find a role within sports and to get a better understanding of all the different opportunities that could be potential career fits. As a result of this program, I am leaning towards a path within the community engagement route, as I thoroughly enjoy doing good for others and giving back. I am incredibly thankful for this professional sports experience for the incredible opportunities and lifelong connections made with the staff at Target Field
