My formal academic education resulted in a B.Sc. in Kinesiology from San Francisco State University.
In addition to the more generalized education (anatomy, physiology, physics, chemistry, psychology, sociology, anthropology, etc. ) my degree required study in the following:
- Exercise Physiology
- Anatomical Kinesiology
- Biomechanics
- Motor Development
- Motor Learning
- Neuromotor Control
- Qualitative & Quantitative Analysis of Human Movement
- Movement for Individuals with Both Mild & Severe Disabilities
- Therapeutic Exercise
- Advanced Practicum in Kinesiology
My education at SFSU was also much broader than this; being involved in campus activities and student organizations like the Kinesiology Student Association was also a great learning experience. I still feel a connection to my alma mater and am a lifetime member of the San Francisco State University Alumni Association.
In addition to my academic education, I have also received wisdom and gained skill from non-academic organizations. Volunteering and presiding in several, getting an opportunity to learn and grow not only in operations skills but also learning together with other volunteers and leaders who feel passionate enough to choose to work together for no profit other than the reward of a cause. Formal and informal training including retreats, seminars and workshops.Among them, the original Foundation for Community Encouragement, founded by M. Scott Peck. It had ended over a decade ago but it seems someone has restarted the mission. I look forward to seeing how the new FCE develops.
