Memphis Rollin' Grizzlies Neuro Note
On May 30 th, my neurological aspects class attended a Memphis Rollin’ Grizzlies (MRG) practice. This was an amazing experience that I will never forget. I was shocked by the ability, speed, and agility of the players. To be honest, I found the MRG practice to be more exciting than a Memphis Grizzlies basketball game! From this experience, I learned that the MRG are a D1 team and they follow similar rules as NCAA basketball. I also learned that 18 universities in the United States have wheelchair basketball teams and offer scholarships. After the practice was over, the class got hands on experience in the wheelchairs. It was a lot harder to shoot than expected! This was a phenomenal learning experience, and I will definitely recommend wheelchair basketball as a possible hobby to future clients. I would love to go to a game during the season! I included a link to the team's page for more information! http://www.rollingrizzlies.org
Juli,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed listening to your video, you did a great job! That is really exciting that you got to get a lot of hands on experience. I think that is essential to learning. We can talk about it in class day after day but actually performing the treatments in a real life scenario is completely different. I am glad you got to experience that and it sounds like you learned a lot. Further I agree with you about documentation. I feel that is something I need to work on prior to level II fieldworks. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great summer!
Juli,
ReplyDeleteVery well said! It is wonderful you got to solidify your knowledge about hands. For me personally, that will be one of the big things to review for NBCOT. I am so glad you had a great fieldwork experience! As you already mentioned in my video, we have the same feelings towards reimbursement and funding. We are going to be okay!
Lastly, I wanted to ease your mind about your documentation skills. I have already had an Acute Care placement. The thought of it was more intimidating than the experience. You will get the hang of it quickly, I know it. Thank you for sharing!
