Many students in Physical Education take part in numerous exercises and activities targeted on the development of power. As students get faster and stronger, many students start to wonder. How hard can I kick a football or soccer ball? How fast can I throw a baseball/ softball/football/lacrosse ball or water polo ball? How fast can I hit a tennis ball/badminton bird/baseball/softball? Many of these questions or challenges happen daily with no one really knowing what the answer is or how to go about finding it. I would like to take it one step further by not only giving them the opportunity to answer these questions for themselves, but develop a plan to answer the next question: How can I do it better? By using speed radar technology and resistance training, students will be able to assess, train and analyze a variety of sports skills efficiently and effectively. Students will pre-test a specific skill such as a baseball throw, a soccer kick, a tennis serve etc. by using the speed radar devices to see how fast they can make the object travel. Students will then go through a power or skill training program before retesting the velocity of the same skill. Students will do this multiple times throughout the year while graphing their progress along the way. This concept is not new. It is used at many college and professional facilities as well as some elite youth training facilities that cost a lot of money to be apart of. It's exciting to think that my students, many of whom come from low economic backgrounds, could have the opportunity to access a service they would not normally receive. It's even more exciting to think of the skills students will develop which could possible benefit their peers and family.
