On my way to California :)

Hello again,

Hope everyone is doing great!  I just got back from San Diego, California, and it was absolutely AMAZING! The people, the weather, the food and the city were indescribable J Anyways, during my flight, I read an article entitled, “The Associations among Social Support, Stress, and Life Satisfaction as Perceived by Injured College Athletes”, and new questions and ideas arose.  I want to know whether some sports (according to their exercise intensity) have a greater impact on resilience compared to other sports.  In other words, if the women’s basketball coach promotes a challenging practice every day (e.g. higher intensity, such as more sprinting, more strengthening drills, etc.), will it have a positive outcome by preparing the women’s basketball team for greater life challenges they will face in the future?  Golf, on the other hand, involves less exercise intensity, so will it affect their resilience level?  I will definitely interview all the coaches at St. Thomas University and ask them to provide a description of a typical day of practice.  With surveys and a few observations, I might have a better understanding on the impact sports may have on resilience.  I’m not sure if my point came across effectively, but I’ll keep you posted!

Blessings J
