Spring 2014 Volume 4, Issue 2 KIN INSIDER Paul Resnick, Editor What should have been a routine flight from San Diego to Miami-was anything but! Dr. Lorena Martin, a recent graduate from the doctoral program in Kinesiology and Sport Sciences, was taking a holiday break from her first post-doctoral position at the University of California, San Diego. She was coming to visit her parents for the Christmas holidays on Flight 1042 direct for Miami. ! Lorena was all but asleep in the aisle seat of row 25 in what seemed like an ordinary flight when things suddenly changed! A female passenger started screaming, “He’s dying!” “He’s dead!” Hearing her screams, other alarmed passengers figured something was very wrong and suddenly half the plane was screaming in fear. ! Lorena saw the woman who was screaming start shaking the male passenger next to her in the aisle seat of row 24. He did not move! Without hesitation Lorena stood up and went to help the passenger who sat listless in his seat. The man was too large for Lorena to pick up alone, so she asked for help, and with the assistance of another passenger, they were able to get the passenger on the floor of the cabin. Lorena checked for a pulse and immediately determined he �1KIN INSIDER Dr. Lorena Martin on Flight 1042 A Message from the Chair… A Hero at 30,000 feet “He’s dying!” -FEMALE PASSENGER ABOARD FLIGHT 1042 HIGHLIGHTS INSIDE THIS ISSUE: 3 Athletic Training participates in the DCC 4 Brian Tracy Visits campus 5 Coach L Charity Golf Classic Spring 2014 Volume 4, Issue 2 needed CPR. She immediately went to work, performing CPR. Within a short time, the gentleman started breathing and his heart started to beat on its own. ! It was determined shortly thereafter that instead of conducting an emergency landing, the plane would be able to make it to Miami where an ambulance would be ready to take the ill passenger to the hospital. ! Lorena returned to her seat knowing she just saved a man’s life! There’s no question her quick action and willingness to get involved, saved a life at 30,000 feet in the air. Lorena certainly embodies the UM spirit. Thank you Lorena, for your heroic actions! ! Sincerely, ! Dr. Arlette Perry, Chair Kinesiology and Sport Sciences Department University of Miami Preparing for an exam can be extremely challenging. When athletic training majors begin preparing to take the Board of Certification exam, most students use the textbook Athletic Training Exam Review: A Student Guide to Success, Fifth Edition. The text most students use is co-authored by Department of Kinesiology and Sport Sciences faculty, Karen Lew. The fifth edition, published in the Fall of 2013, features University of Miami athletic training students on the front cover. This is the fourth book Lew has published since becoming an author with Slack Publishing Company The new edition of the book includes 1200 multiple choice questions, critical thinking questions, and an online testing component that will assist students as they prepare for their computer based exam. The book provides detailed reasoning behind the correct answer that will assist students in highlighting their individual strengths and weaknesses. The new text also features a variety of changes that reflect current trends in academic testing, patient evaluation, and critical thinking. 
 �2KIN INSIDER Dr. Lorena Martin & Dr. Perry at Dr. Martin’s graduation Athletic Training Textbook co-authored by KIN professor Text co-authored by KIN professor Karen Lew Spring 2014 Volume 4, Issue 2 Launched in 2010, the Dolphins Cycling Challenge (DCC) is a two-day tri-county charity cycling event. The purpose of the DCC is to increase cancer awareness, encourage healthy hobbies, and raise funds for the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. This year’s ride raised over two million dollars for the Sylvester Cancer Center. Rides begin in Miami-Dade at Sun Life Stadium, in Broward at Huizenga Plaza and in Boca Raton throughout the weekend. Along each route, water stops were located approximately every 15-20 miles, with food, beverages, entertainment, restroom facilities, medical treatment, recovery stations and mechanical assistance available for riders. On November 2-3, 2013, 26 Athletic Training Program students and staff participated for the second year in a row in the DCC. The students and staff helped with stretching and massaging cyclists at various points along the route. The opportunity to be a part of the DCC allowed the athletic training students to gain valuable experience working with cyclists. Although the students did not see many injuries, it is estimated that they massaged and stretched over 200 participants. A highlight of the event was seeing, Senior Athletic Training Student, Rachel Gregory cross the finish line at Sun Life Stadium after completing a 100 mile ride.   ! ! ! ! �3KIN INSIDER Athletic Training Program Participates in the DCC Spring 2014 Volume 4, Issue 2 Motivational speaker and bestselling author, Brian Tracy recently visited campus and spoke at an Athletic Training meeting and with Dr. Mullane’s graduate leadership class. Mr. Tracy focused on three topics: leadership, time management, and networking. He talked about the seven essential skills and strategies necessary to become an effective leader in today’s highly competitive job market. He provided the students, staff, and faculty with many practical tips and words of wisdom. Brian Tracy is the father to Junior Athletic Training and Sport Administration student, Catherine Tracy. The KIN department is lucky to have Mr. Tracy as an advocate and we hope to have him visit again. For more information on Brian Tracy, visit BrainTracy.com. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! The Graduate Program in Strength and Conditioning has received double recognition through the National Strength and Conditioning Associations (NSCA) review process for academic programs. The NSCA recognizes select programs based on criteria that emphasizes curricular alignment with the role delineation study of strength and condition professionals, specific content knowledge, and defined outcome based academic rigors. This is the first time a program has received the double distinction in graduate studies, one for strength and conditioning research and one for strength and conditioning applied science. Prior to the expanded recognition, the program was previously one of seven recognized as an applied science program in the United States. The University's distinction will be publicized in the organizations periodicals and on the NSCA website as an Education Recognized Program. ! �4KIN INSIDER Motivational Speaker and Best-selling Author, Brian Tracy visits KIN classes Strength and Conditioning Spring 2014 Volume 4, Issue 2 2014 will mark the 9th year the Sport Administration Graduate Program will be executing their annual charity golf classic. Master’s students in Dr. Dees’ Facilities and Event Management course (KIN 563) plan, prepare, and produce a golf outing at The Biltmore Golf Course each spring for over 100 players as well as tournament sponsors, contributing local organizations, and guests. This year the Sport Administration program is proud to be partnering with Coach Larrañaga and the Miami Men’s Basketball team to raise funds for Coaches vs Cancer, a subsidiary of the American Cancer Society. The Inaugural Coach L Charity Golf Classic will be held on Friday, April 18th at 8:30am at The Biltmore with an awards luncheon to follow the tournament at 1:30pm. Coach Larrañaga will be speaking at the luncheon and various local sports celebrities and prominent business people will be in attendance to enjoy great fun for a great cause and support the fight against cancer.
