Plyometrics are a great group of exercises that require a combination of strength and power to move in an explosive manner. Although we say explosive, this term is relative to all age groups, as explosive for seniors will look drastically different compared to plyometrics for a high school senior. You will explore how plyometrics will carry over to real life movement patterns, so be very clear in your explanations.
Procedures
This is a multi-task assignment requiring part research, part exploration to the movements, and an application to real-life tasks and evidence-based practices. Follow the directions below to earn max credit, so do not miss any steps. There is no specific length for this assignment, although it will require plenty of detail for all parts.
Instructions:
Examine through your research the exercises, benefits, and application to daily tasks for plyometric training/exercise. Topics to address should include how plyometrics can improve explosive power, agility, balance, and coordination, and how these improvements can enhance performance in everyday movements. 
You must incorporate a minimum of 3 additional references besides your textbook to accompany your writing.
Select three different daily tasks or activities that you commonly engage in, such as climbing stairs, picking up heavy objects, reaching high for something, or jumping over obstacles.
Analyze the movements involved in each of the selected daily tasks. 
Break each movement into specific components like jumping, landing, pushing, pulling, and quick changes in direction.
Based on the movements identified in Step 3, choose 3 plyometric exercises that target similar movement patterns. For example, if one of the tasks involves jumping, select a plyometric exercise that focuses on vertical jumps. 
Provide a detailed description of each plyometric exercise selected, including proper form, technique, and progression. Explain how each exercise specifically targets the movement pattern related to the chosen daily task.
For each daily task, explain how the chosen plyometric exercise can be applied to improve performance in that specific task. Discuss the potential benefits, such as increased power, speed, or stability, and how these improvements can positively impact your ability to perform the task more efficiently or with reduced risk of injury.
Discuss safety considerations or modifications that should be considered when incorporating plyometrics into daily tasks. Consider factors such as age/generational differences, individual fitness level, existing injuries, and the importance of proper warm-up and progression.

Proposal for a WNBA team. 
The final project for this class is a multimedia presentation to the mayor and city council of a city that is trying to entice a professional team to move to their city (e.g., NFL, NBA, WNBA, NWSL, NHL, etc.). You are the vice president of finance for a consulting firm that has been hired by the mayor and city council to give them a detailed analysis of what it would take to entice a team to move to their city. You are a member of the five person team that will conduct the analysis and make a presentation to the mayor and city council. Your responsibility is to provide the financial analysis for the project which includes the construction of a sports venue to accommodate the team.
For this assignment you will develop the capital budget which will become a part of your final project. Review the information on capital budgeting in your textbook. The numbers used in this assignment are to be a realistic estimate based on your research of similar projects. The capital budget should be done on a spreadsheet such as Excel. Provide at least one graph to help the mayor and city council better understand the elements of the capital budget.

Create a tri-fold informational brochure about an injury of your choice. This brochure should be informational and geared towards understanding a common injury in a sport, and the immediate treatment of the injury. 
Identify the anatomy and resulting damage, mechanism of injury, initial first aid response to the injury, and treatment of this injury. You should also include what are the recommended return-to-play criteria. You may also include: key information, education about your injury, as well as resources for more information. 
This brochure should be able to be used to educate coaches on the action plan and parents about their child’s injury. Graphics should be used. (Please create this brochure in a Word, PDF, or PowerPoint format. Other formats will not be graded. You can use the internet to find examples and/or templates. Do NOT simply put words and pictures on a piece of paper. Also, think about how the brochure will be folded to ensure the title panel is on the front and the references are on the center back.) 
Please include on the brochure center back panel a Reference list (at least 3 appropriate references).

For this assignment you will develop the year one operating budget. You will also complete a year one through five revenue and expense profit/loss forecast both of which will become part of your final presentation. Review the information on operating budgets and forecasting in your textbook. The numbers used in this assignment are to be a realistic estimate based on your research of similar projects. Use a spreadsheet application such as Excel for this assignment. Provide at least one graph on both the budget and the forecast to help the mayor and city council better understand the information that you are providing.

Assessment with CSAI-2
The Competitive Condition Anxiety Inventory-2 examined Ahmed’s mental health and fitness to return to competitive running after injury. This popular tool examines cognitive, physical, and self-confidence, which are vital to sports success. The inventory was meticulously presented before a competitive event and during a regular training session, illustrating low- and high-pressure conditions.
Low-pressure results:
Ahmed scored 18/36 during regular training, indicating mild cognitive strain. It appears that his performance concerns are not affecting his practice. He scored 14 out of 36 for somatic anxiety (muscle tension, high heart rate). Practice anxiety has few physical manifestations. His 30 out of 36 self-confidence during these sessions was notable (Herbert et al., 2020). In familiar, controlled environments, Ahmed appears secure and capable.
High-pressure results:
Everything changed when Ahmed was evaluated before a regional tournament. His cognitive anxiety was 29 out of 36, indicating performance and injury worries. An athlete with strong cognitive anxiety may dwell on negative outcomes or past traumas like his injury. Somatic anxiety rose to 26/36. Ahmed suffered stomach aches, jitters, and clammy hands, typical of pressure competition. His self-confidence dip to 15 out of 36 was most concerning. This abrupt dip indicates how much competition impacts his mental health and self-confidence.
