HEAD COACH Head Coach - Sue Parks

SUE PARKS

Cross Country and Track and Field Alma Mater - Eastern Michigan, 1980, 1988 12th Season at EMU The 2017 campaign marks the 12th season for Sue Parks as head coach of the Eastern Michigan University women’s cross country program. After a 2015 campaign which included the women’s cross country program’s first-ever MAC title, Parks continued her success by leading the Eagles to their best season in history in 2016, which included the program’s first student-athlete to earn Academic All-American honors in the form of Jordann McDermitt. The accomplishments collected from both the regular and post season resulted in Parks earning MAC Coach of the Year honors for the second year in a row (third overall). Parks and her squad started the postseason off with a bang, winning the MAC title for the second time in program history and making the Eagles back-to-back MAC Champions. They then went on to finish fifth at the Great Lakes Regional. Their fifth-place finish combined with a strong regular season, accented by multiple victories over top-ranked teams and a national ranking as high as No. 14, a program best, the Eagles earned

an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships for the second time in program history. Once at the championships, EMU did not disappoint as they finished a program-best ninth and saw McDermitt capture All-American honors with a program-best 24th-place finish at the NCAA Championship. This served as only the second time a student-athlete earned such honors in program history. The season was highlighted by a MAC Team and Individual Championship (McDermitt), four student-athletes earning First Team All-MAC and allregion honors (McDermitt, Bogdanova, Cizmas and Meyers), two earning Second Team All-MAC honors (Gallein and Aldrich) and four harriers earning USTFCCCA All-Academic honors (McDermitt, Bogdanova, Cizmas and Meyers). 2015 was a banner season for the Eagles, as the Green and White captured their first-ever Mid-American Conference title in program history. The squad, which finished with a total of 55 points, placed three harriers within the top-six. Leading the way was Alsu Bogdanova, who captured the individual MAC title after clocking in at

2017 Eastern Michigan University Women’s Cross Country

20:39.26. Eastern finished the conference championships with three First Team All-MAC honorees, while Parks was also named MAC Coach of the Year. The team also continued to improve at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, finishing sixth after placing eighth in 2014. Bogdanova tallied another strong performance, coming in ninth and narrowly missing a berth to the NCAA Championships. The 2014 season marked Eastern’s first MAC Champion since the 1997 campaign, as Victoria Voronko claimed her first conference crown. Additionally, she became just the second Eagle in program history to earn All-MAC First Team honors. Sofie Gallein claimed third in the conference meet to garner First Team honors, and the pair ended the season on the national stage at the NCAA Championships, marking the first time two harriers have ever qualified individually for the Eastern program. Under her tenure, the Eagles have shown vast improvements since she began her career at the helm in 2006. In 2007, the Eagles finished 11th (286 points) at the Mid-American Conference Cross Country Championships. Just three seasons later, the Green and White improved to a sixth place finish (157 points) in 2009, and eventually improved with back-to-back-to-back fifth place finishes in 2010 (157 points), 2011 (89 points) and 2012 (144 points) before improving to fourth place in 2013 (111 points) and having a breakthrough season in 2014 with a runner-up finish with 69 points. Prior to EMU, Parks enjoyed tremendous success

during her 12-year tenure at Ball State, winning eight MidAmerican Conference titles and finishing runner-up 10 times in track and cross country. She was named MAC Women’s Coach of the Year five times: In indoor and outdoor track three times, in 1996, 1998, 2001; in outdoor track once, 2000; and in cross country once, in 2003. In addition, she was selected as an NCAA Regional Coach of the Year in indoor and outdoor track in 1998. Her 2002 cross country team became just the third MAC team to ever qualify for the NCAA Championship when it accomplished that feat in 2002. From 1990-94 she was an assistant cross country and track coach for both the men’s and women’s programs at the University of Arizona. Her UA women’s cross country squads placed 11th, 14th, and 12th in the NCAA Championships in 1991, 1992 and 1993 respectively and her 1993 cross country team won the NCAA District 8 championship. She was named NCAA District 8 Coach of the Year after the 1993 cross country season. During her tenure at Arizona she coached seven All-Americans in women’s cross country and track, including the 1994 5,000-meter champion in the NCAA indoor track championship. Prior to heading to Arizona, Parks was the head women’s cross country coach and assistant women’s track coach at Michigan State University from 1988-90. She was graduate assistant coach for the EMU men’s track team from 1987-88. From 1984-87 she was the women’s head cross country coach and women’s assistant track coach at the University of Michigan she coached eight All-Americans in cross country and was selected as Big Ten women’s cross country Coach of the Year in 1986. Her other coaching stints included serving as the head women’s track coach at Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard in 1982 and the head women’s cross country coach at Ann Arbor Huron High School from 1979-83. Parks is certainly no stranger to EMU and the Ypsilanti area. She was raised in Ypsilanti and attended Ypsilanti High School where she was an outstanding cross country and track competitor. She was a state of Michigan high school champion and former record holder in the 800 meters and also competed on U.S. teams in the Pan American Games. Parks went on to graduate from EMU with a bachelor’s degree in 1980 and a master’s degree in 1988. While an undergraduate, Parks was a Mid-American Conference cross country invitational champion in 1976, 1977 and 1978 and was also an Olympic Trials qualifier. She was elected to the EMU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1992. Her father, Bob Parks, was the head men’s track and field and head men’s cross country coach at EMU for 34 years, from 1967-2000.

2016 Season In Review

The Eastern Michigan University women’s cross country team wrapped up an incredible season back in mid-November, qualifying to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 1996. The Green and White were strong throughout both the regular season and the postseason, including winning their second Mid-American Conference Championship in program history. Take a look back at 2016, and a brief recap of each of the team’s 2016 races. The season kicked off in Kalamazoo, as the Eagles participated in the George Dales Invitational, Sept. 2, against the Broncos. There, Eastern claimed the top-four spots, along with seven of the top-10. Additionally, the Eagles averaged a finish time of 17:42.10, which was more than a minute quicker than the Broncos’ average of 18:59.09. The Eagles were paced by junior Jordann McDermitt, who dominated the field, crossing the finish line in 16:57.27, which was nearly thirty seconds better than the second-place finisher. It also marked the first time that she posted a mark of less than 17 minutes, as her previous 5K best was 17:03. Just behind her in second, redshirt sophomore Natalie Cizmas had a fantastic cross country debut, clocking in at 17:24.57, which was also nearly thirty seconds quicker than the next finisher. Rounding out the top three was 2015 MAC Champion senior Alsu Bogdanova, who posted a time of 17:53.55 to claim the bronze. For her performance, McDermitt was named MAC Runner of the Week. The following week, EMU stayed local, running in the Detroit Titan Invitational, Sept. 10, in Northville, Mich. EMU finished second as a team, amassing 57 points with a young lineup focused on gaining experience for later in the year. Individually, the Eagles had three harriers finish within the top-15, as sophomore Sydney Meyers ran to a second-place finish, clocking in at 18:07.0, which was 13 seconds quicker than her time from the George Dales Invite. Behind her, fellow junior Danielle Bentzley also had a solid race, placing sixth with a time of 18:42.0. Rounding out the top-three Green and White finishers was redshirt-sophomore Rebekah Branham, who placed 14th after crossing the finish line in 18:59.0. The team’s first national-level meet came after the Titan Invite, as Eastern traveled to Alsu Bogdanova Nashville, Tenn. for the Commodore Classic, Sept. 17, marking the first time EMU has competed at the meet. The Eagles, who won the meet and finished with 68 points, were able to defeat a pair of ranked teams, as No. 19 Mississippi State and No. 26 Vanderbilt finished sixth and third, respectively. McDermitt led the Eagles once again, taking third with a time of 17:02.9, while Cizmas nabbed ninth in 17:17.4. Rounding out EMU’s top-three was junior Jenna Wyns, who took 14th after clocking in at 17:28.6. McDermitt, based on her performance, reeled in her second MAC Runner of the Week honor of the season. The trend of success at tough meets continued two weeks later, as EMU took part in the prestigious Notre Dame Invitational, Sept. 30, in South Bend, Ind. Finishing third, the Eagles bested a number of ranked teams in the talented field, including defending NCAA Champions No. 2 New Mexico, who placed fourth with 166 points. The Green and White were also able to take down No. 16 Notre Dame and No. 24 Vanderbilt, who EMU beat in their previous meet. Finally, Eastern also upset No. 28 Utah, who took sixth. Once again, McDermitt was the team’s top finisher, bringing home seventh with a time of 16:33.1. Behind her, Cizmas crossed the finish line in 12th, while Bogdanova and Meyers took 41st and 45th, respectively. The Davison, Mich. native once again was named MAC Runner of the Week, marking the third time she won the award thus far in the season. Up next, the Green and White previewed the NCAA Championships course at the Pre-Nationals Invitational, Oct. 15, in Terre Haute, Ind, taking seventh as a team. The race featured a number of ranked teams, and the Eagles were able to once again down a ranked opponent. No. 22 Virginia fell to the Eagles, as the Cavaliers finished 18th overall. Additionally, Eastern also bested a number of teams receiving votes in the coaches’ poll. Leading the charge for Eastern once again wasMcDermitt, who clocked in at 20:32.0 to finish 18th in a tough field. Her mark was also a personal-best 6,000-meter time by about 10 seconds. The consistency continued behind her, as Cizmas nabbed 32nd after crossing the finish line in 20:48.5. The trend continued yet again, as McDermitt secured MAC Runner of the Week honors for the fourth time. The regular season came to a close the following weekend, with Eastern hosting the annual EMU Fall Classic, Oct. 21, in Dexter, Mich. Eastern had a total of seven harriers participate in the 5,000-meter race, with three bringing home spots in the top-50. At the finish line, Bentzley was the first Eagle to complete the race, posting a solid time of 18:31.2. Behind her, junior Claire Mesa was the second EMU harrier to cross the finish line, as she placed 48th in 19:17.7 The Rockford, Ill. native narrowly beat out fellow junior Lauren Pottschmidt, as the Granger, Ind. product took 49th with a time of 19:20.9. Bentzley was also named MAC Runner of the Week following the meet. After winning their first ever MAC Championship last season, the Eagles looked to make it two in a row this year at the conference championships, Oct. 29. EMU definitely kicked off the postseason with a bang, as the team brought home its second consecutive conference title behind a deep lineup that featured four Eagles finishing within the top10. The Eagles became the first program to win league titles in back-to-back years since Toledo won three straight from 2010-12. McDermitt ended up running away with the individual crown, crossing the finish line with a time of 20:34.1, which was just shy of her career-best. The victory also marked the third straight season in which an Eagle harrier has finished atop the podium. Last year’s champion, Bogdanova, had a strong race as well, bringing home bronze with a time of 20:59.3. Just behind Bogdanova, Cizmas turned in a fourth-place finish in her first ever MAC Championships, clocking in at 21:10.5. Meyers closed out an impressive race, bringing home seventh-place with a time of 21:11.7, beating her previous career-best by 11 seconds. Jordann McDermitt

2016 Season In Review

Rounding out the top-five for EMU was senior Sofie Gallein, who ended up taking 12th in 21:43.7. Redshirt junior Anna Aldrich also had a strong race, clocking in at 21:50.5, which was a career-best by eight seconds, to nab 14th-place. At the conclusion of the race, McDermitt, Bogdanova, Cizmas, and Meyers were all named First Team All-MAC. Additionally, Gallein and Aldrich brought home Second Team All-MAC honors. Head Coach Sue Parks also reeled in league honors, claiming her second MAC Coach of the Year honor as an Eagle, and her third overall. Two weeks later, the Green and White had their strongest regional performance in recent history at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, Nov. 11, in Madison, Wis. The Eagles finished the close race in fifth with 102 points, which was an improvement over last year by nearly 100 points, while the team also had three harriers finish within the top-20. As a team, the Eagles held strong with a number of tough teams throughout the entire race. In fact, the spread between second-place Notre Dame and fifth-place Eastern Michigan was just 11 points, with Michigan State and Wisconsin tying for third with 97 points. EMU’s performance marked a big improvement over last year, as the squad took sixth with 216 points in 2015. McDermitt ultimately crossed the finish line in fifth, clocking in at 19:59.5, which shattered her previous personal-best 6K time of 20:32.0. Cizmas was also able to secure a top-15 finish, closing out strong and nabbing 14th in 20:23.8, which was also a careerbest by roughly 25 seconds. Bogdanova had a career day as well, as she secured 18th after crossing the finish line in 20:30.2, her best 6K time by nine seconds. Meyers, who finished 25th, had a personal-best time as well, as she clocked in at 20:39.9 to beat her previous best by 32 seconds. Based on their top-25 finishes, McDermitt, Cizmas, Bogdanova, and Meyers were also awarded all-region honors. This marks the second straight year in which McDermitt and Bogdanova received the award, while it was the first for Cizmas and Meyers. After a bit of waiting, the squad learned that they were selected as an at-large team for the NCAA Championships, Nov. 19, in Terre Haute Ind. Although the Eagles had a number of individual qualifiers prior to this year, this marked just the second time in program history that the team will compete in the national championships. The only other season that the team qualified was in 1996, when the Green and White finished 22nd. The Eagles were able to finish ninth at the national championships as a team with a total of 316 points, marking EMU’s best finish in program history. The Eagles came into the race ranked No. 24, and certainly outperformed that figure by a wide margin. As they had done all year, the Green and White moved their way up the standings as the race progressed, propelling them from the middle-of-the-pack team wise into the top-10. Despite tough weather conditions, EMU capped its historic season with another fantastic performance. In fact, the ninth-place finish was the best by a Mid-American Conference team in conference history. McDermitt finished the tough race in 24th with a time of 20:14.6, and based on her top-40 finish, the Davison, Mich. native earned All-American honors, becoming just the second Eagle to accomplish the feat in program history, and the first since 1987. Behind McDermitt, Cizmas used a strong, late kick to run to 70th-place with a time of 20:41.1. Bogdanova moved up late in the race as well, clocking in at 20:44.5 to take 81st. Meyers did the same, narrowly missing a top-100 finish after taking 102nd with a time of 20:51.0. The Eagles, after their strongest season to date, look primed to have another great year in 2017. The team returns a number of excellent harriers, and with the experience gained throughout 2016, EMU will look to build on this year’s success.

Eastern Michigan University

Where We’re Located

Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, about 10 miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, technological and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted more than 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique

In 1849, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a University, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The university currently serves 23,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses, a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners, and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Our Students

With nearly 22,000 students, EMU provides a rich learning environment for the campus community. The University currently has approximately 18,000 undergraduates and 4,000 graduate students. Our students represent 49 states and 93 foreign countries. Of undergraduate students, 72 percent are full-time and 57 percent are women. The most popular majors are education, business, social sciences and histor y, science and engineering, English, and the health professions. EMU’s undergraduate population is approximately 66 percent white; 18 percent black; 3 percent international; 3 percent Asian-American; 4 percent Hispanic, 0.2 percent Native-American, and 6 percent not answered (i.e. elected not to respond to this inquiry). Eastern Michigan offers a number of special academic programs to help students succeed. These include the Honors College; the Holman Success Center; distance learning; accelerated format programs; online, weekend and evening programs and courses; American Humanics certification; Study Abroad Tours; a specialized master’s degree program for corporations offered onsite; a double master’s degree; online technologies for education and training. With more than 200 academic and social organizations, an extensive intramural sports program, 21 NCAA Division I-A sports and numerous cultural activities from which to choose, EMU students have diverse opportunities to become involved in campus life. Students’ on-campus housing choices range from traditional dormitory-style rooms to apartments and include living/learning center options.

Faculty/Staff

Eastern Michigan University employs nearly 700 full-time faculty and 1,000 staff members. Ninetyfour percent of EMU professors have doctoral degrees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 17:1. Faculty work closely with students, and many involve students in their research. Recently, the University celebrated its 30th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergraduate research.

Community Outreach

EMU’s Economic Impact

Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3.7 billion annually reflects a return of more than $42 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $166 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.87 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on community building and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well-known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association

Representing more than 160,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geographically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

Mission Statement

Eastern Michigan University is committed to excellence in teaching through traditional and innovative approaches, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression. Building on a proud tradition of national leadership in the preparation of teachers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doc-

We extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries to the wider community through service initiatives, and public and private partnerships of mutual interest addressing local, regional, national and international opportunities and challenges.

Our History

Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times, adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975, and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently ,Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs and numerous community-focused institutes. The university has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a FrenchCanadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 workers.

Student-Athlete Support Student-Athlete Support Services

Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an academic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, providing learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and university rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the studentathlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other university student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and providing additional help with courses when requested.

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine

The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long history and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara MasterHunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Additionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medicine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: To provide a high standard of medical care through effective preventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilitation process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facilities in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning

Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifically and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse collection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execution before Innovation. Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average. Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself. Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental toughness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport. The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base. Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep). Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vocal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.

The EMU Identity

NOT ALWAYS THE EAGLES Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname “Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites” and “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles down through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the result of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriateness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express.
