- At Southern Utah I would be a coach on the track and field team. Although Track and Field is not what I would call my expertise, the assistantship would help me pay for graduate school while learning how much work it takes to become a head coach of any type of sport. The more experience that I have under my belt, the better. To qualify for the assistantship I must first be accepted into the graduate school, and then it would be in my best interests to send in my resume, cover letter and references to the Track and Field Head Coach.
- At Frostburg State I would be helping out to assist the Strength & Conditioning Program. There I would assist in the instruction of weight and conditional training for the athletic teams along with supervising the fitness facilities. I will also recieve a 2,500 dollar stipend while assisting. I have always enjoyed lifting weights so I feel as though this opportunity could possibly open new doors for me in the future. I need my Bachelor's degree and also withhold a GPA of 3.0 or higher to be admitted into the graduate school. After that I would need to apply, send a letter of interest, resume, and three professsional references to the University.
- At the University of Connecticut I would be assisting the strength and conditioning program as well. This being a Division-I school makes it alot more competitive and also puts alot more pressure on my performance. I think I could handle it. Along with the strength and conditioning, I will also be asked to research and study different coaching strategies as well as assisting in the prevention of injuries. Along with the schooling, I would also recieve a term stipend of just overe 9,500 dollars. Just like the other two assistantships, I have to be admitted into the graduate program and will need to submit a resume, cover letter and professional references to the Division of Athletics.
- At Purdue University I would be assisting in the Academic Support Services for the athletes. Instead of coaching I would be helping with advising and advising issues. It would require me to gather data, prepare grade reports, and study hall usage. Also, I would need to assist with all aspects of tutoring for the athletes. I think this would help me to understand the administrative side of my sports degree. The requirements for me to get this assistanship is to have a Bachelor's degree, be accepted into a graduate program and also have mad skills with a computer i.e. Microsoft Office. I also get a monthly stipend over 1,500 dollars a month.
- At Barry University there are a few graduate assistantships that are offered. They are offered through the School of Human Performance and Leisure Science. If I went there, I would try to obtain the graduate assistant in athletic adminstration. It would require me to have a Bachelor degree and also be able to deal with Microsoft Office. I would be asisting the Dean of the school and would have to deal with study hall scheduling and monitoring along with overall daily operations within the athletic department. Although no stipend is detailed on the website, I would definitely need to get the financial situation worked out before going through with the opportunity.
