PROF. KALINOWSKI PARTNERS WITH CHICAGO WHITE SOX HITTING INSTRUCTOR! John Kalinowski, John McKenna, and Jeff Manto will be working together to offer Baseball clinics to the public this Fall and Winter at Notre Dame High School. The sessions will be 90 minute sessions. 45 minutes hitting instruction and 45 baseball specific athletic performance. This creates another great opportunity for the MCCC Exercise Science students to observe the application of what they are learning, network with a member of MLB and/or possibly build their resume by gaining hands on experience. Very few "baseball schools" or "baseball specific" programs deliver their instruction from a current major league hitting coach (with 9 yrs of playing experience in the big league) and nationally recognized strength and conditioning coaches. If you are interested in observing or vollunteering, e-mail Prof. Kalinowski at kalinowj@mccc.edu. If you'd like to register, contact Coach McKenna at 609-882-7900 ext115.
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.
ALL CURRENT AND PAST MCCC EXERCISE SCIENCE STUDENTS!!!! Let me know what's going on with you. Are you employed? Did you transfer? Are you volunteering? Did you move? Are you hosting an event? Lecturing? Coaching? Running your own business? E-mail me an update and we will publicize it or keep a reference log of your achievements. Thank you in advance.
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.
