Hello- Welcome to my page! My name is Katie and I am a senior dietetics student at Fontbonne University in Saint Louis, Missouri. As part of my Methods of Teaching in Family and Consumer Sciences course, I have created this webpage to show my journey through creating, teaching, and reflecting upon my chosen lesson plan of Sports Nutrition.
I chose to create a Sports Nutrition education unit for college athletes because I am a firm believer in using food as a fuel. I am highly passionate about this philosophy because I have personally seen the monumental impact nutrition has on physical health, personal well-being and mind and mind and body connection. My Weebly contains a reflection on my education, rationale for my unit, my unit outline, contextual factors in the classroom and all four lessons within my Sports Nutrition unit. During my experience I had the pleasure of teaching the men's lacrosse team at Fontbonne University. It was a fantastic opportunity to share nutrition concepts with athletes to help better their mental and physical performance. I hope to work with athletes in the future, in addition to diverse groups of individuals in the Medical Nutrition Therapy and Health Coaching field. I hope you enjoy navigating my website! -Katie |
