HPC traveled to Springfield, MA, last week to attend and present at two conferences. The first conference, lead by Dr. Don Hellison (University of Illinois-Chicago), discussed the implementation and evaluation of Hellison's Taking Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model, a model used to teach youth personal and social responsibility through physical activity. Since I am using the TPSR model in my dissertation, I presented to the conference the initial findings of my dissertation, using this model with underserved adolescents.
The second conference, the Conference on Counseling Athletes, focused on creating leadership opportunities through sport. I, along with 4 Boston University colleagues, led a workshop centered on our process of collaboration when designing a leadership workshop series for 200 middle school students in New Hampshire earlier this year.
