PROF. KALINOWSKI SPENDS A DAY "UNDERGROUND" ON A QUEST FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE!!!

If there is one thing that Professor Kalinowski wants his students to never forget, it is that "YOU WILL NEVER KNOW EVERYTHING!  When you think that you know it all, it is time to read a book or journals; go to a clinic or symposium; take more classes; or talk shop with the elite professionals in your field of expertise. 

Professor "Kal's" quest for continued knowledge led him to an opportunity that he recommends to anyone interested in strength and conditioning.  That opportunity was to spend Friday, 1/22/2010, at a certification and mentorship program with an individual that he has respected and referred students to for many years - Zach Even-esh, founder and head coach of the UNDERGROUND STRENGTH COACH. 

Because there are so many egos in the field of strength and conditioning, it is rare that you will find strength coaches sharing their experiences and discussing their philosophies. The opportunity to "talk shop" and learn from others experts in the field should never be passed up.  That is why Professor Kal spent every minute of the 6-7 hrs that he spent with experts Zach Even-esh and John McKenna, and up-and-coming strength coaches Brian Hazel (Houston, TX) and Shawn Powers (Los Angeles, CA) picking their brains, offering his expertise, and getting deep into some hands on fun.  This was a great day of coaching and being coached.  It also didn't hurt that the participants had similar training philosophies.  How could you beat it.  Talking shop and working out (with body resistance, db's, bands, ropes, racks, sandbags, and tires), and then Zach made sure that all particpants were fueled by providing lunch and post-workout recovery shakes.  Zach has an excellent program and has a tremendous amount to offer athletes, students, and coaches, alike. 

To take advantage of more of what Zach has to offer through the UNDERGROUND STRENGTH COACH go to www.undergroundstrengthcoach.com.  Remember - when you think that you know it all - YOU DON"T KNOW ZACH!!!

IT'S A MIRACLE!!!

On August 29th, Professor Kalinowski volunteered his expertise to raise money for THE MIRACLE LEAGUE of Levittown Continental Little League "Challenger Division".  This event was hosted by Jeff Manto (MLB journeyman and current White Sox hitting instructor) and Levittown Continental Little League at Extra Innings of Bensalem, PA.  The fund raiser was held so that a field could be made for physically and mentally challenged athletes.  John presented a hands-on "kettlebell for performance" clinic and drills for "first step" quickness.  John's sessions and the clinic overall generated alot of enthusiasm, smiles, and most importantly money for a great cause.

MCCC EXERCISE SCIENCE STUDENTS LEAD THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION   HEART WALK THIS YEAR!!!

On September 13th at Mercer County Park, Professor Kalinowski and his MCCC Exercise Science students led the warm-up for the annual American Heart Association Heart Walk.  Their theme was to "Knock-out Heart Disease".  The HPE151 (Introduction to Exercise Science) class developed and choreographed a boxing warm-up.  At the microphone and leading the routine was Professor Kalinowski.  And in the trenches, getting the crowd loose and pumped-up were students - Jeff Angelini, Jessica Arrigo, Ashley Averak, Jason Ciaccio, Samantha Combs, Jim Fuccello, Koryn Garcia, Aidas Gedeika, Melanie Livingston, Mark Maccaroni, and Rachel Sazoff.  The warm-up was appropriately performed to the "Rocky" theme song.  Fun was had by all who participated and witnessed the event. 

For the last 4 years, the MCCC Exercise Science program has raised close to $8000 and participated in the Heart Walk.  Because of the economy and only having one week to prepare for the Heart Walk, this year the program raised about $800.  Although, this is about $2000 less then last years contribution, it will still be valuable to the American Heart Association in their fight to educate Americans and research a cure for heart disease.

  PROFESSOR KALINOWSKI TRAINS A STEELER!

Professor Kalinowski has been a life long Pittsburgh Steelers fan and has been a strength and conditioning coach for 13 yrs.  This summer the two passions collided, while conducting Adult Fit Camps and Youth Athletic Performance camps at Notre Dame High School with John McKenna, Lindsay Braigel, and Jacki Franz.          

Coach McKenna had a meeting one night, so he asked Prof. Kalinowski, if he'd do some movement training with an athlete coming in.  Turns out that this athlete was trying to earn a spot on a NFL roster.  In addition, Professor Kalinowski remembered him as Ex-Steelers linebacker, #54 Rian Wallace.  Rian spent time with the Redskins and Cardinals, since Pittsburgh.

Prof. Kalinowski has trained many professional athletes, but this one was a little more special, since he was a Steeler at one time.  The session emphasized first step quickness, acceleration, agility, and quickness.  It proved to be rewarding for the coach and the athlete.   Hopefully, it helped Rian to get one more step closer to getting signed for the 2009 season.
