OUR VALUES

2

T

he University of Missouri-Columbia, as the state’s major land grant university, honors the public trust placed in it and accepts the associated accountability to the people of Missouri for its stewardship of that trust. Our duty is to acquire, create, transmit, and preserve knowledge, and to promote understanding. We the students, faculty, and staff of MU hold the following values to be the foundation of our identity as a community. We pledge ourselves to act, in the totality of our life together, in accordance with these values.

RESPECT

Respect for one’s self and for others is the foundation of honor and the basis of integrity. A hallmark of our community is respect — for the process by which we seek truths and for those who engage in that process. Such respect is essential for nurturing the free and open discourse, exploration, and creative expression that characterize a university.

Respect results in dedication to individual as well as collective expression of truth and honesty. Respect is demonstrated by a commitment to act ethically, to welcome difference, and to engage in open exchange about both ideas and decisions.

RESPONSIBILITY

A sense of responsibility requires careful reflection on one’s moral obligations.

Being responsible imposes the duty on us and our university to make decisions by acknowledging the context and considering consequences, both intended and unintended, of any course of action. Being responsible requires us to be thoughtful stewards of resources — accountable to ourselves, each other, and the public we serve.

DISCOVERY

Learning requires trust in the process of discovery. Discovery often fractures existing world views and requires acceptance of uncertainty and ambiguity. Therefore, the university must support all of its members in the lifelong process that is both challenging and rewarding. As we seek greater understanding and wisdom, we also recognize that knowledge itself has boundaries — what we know is not all that is.

EXCELLENCE

We aspire to an excellence which is approached through diligent effort, both individual and collective. Pursuing excellence means being satisfied with no less than the highest goals we can envision. Pursuing excellence involves being informed by regional, national, and global standards, as well as our personal expectations. We recognize and accept the sacrifices, risks, and responsibilities involved in pursuing excellence, and so we celebrate each other’s successes. We commit ourselves to this process in an ethical and moral manner.

In addition to the institutional values, MizzouRec has identified three more guiding values. These statements are mere words until we integrate them as values in our individual lives and reflect them in our institutional policies and practices. We pledge ourselves to make them effective in the very fabric of our lives, our community, and all our relationships with others, thereby enhancing the development of individuals and the well-being of society.

RELATIONSHIPS

PHILANTHROPY

AUTHENTICITY

Our success depends on the quality of our interactions and the clarity of our communication with others. Forming, nurturing and maintaining positive relationships is the ideal outcome of our time together at work, in class and at leisure. To this end, MizzouRec works tirelessly to provide an outstanding environment to cultivate relationships that last a lifetime.

MizzouRec has been given great gifts of support and wonderful resources from generations of students and administrators at MU. It is part of our culture to share appropriately and wisely with a variety of worthwhile causes and initiatives.

In a world filled with brands, labels, expectations and images, it is important that each of us reserve time daily to connect to our true selves. Placing an organizational value on authenticity means that being genuine in our words and our deeds is important and a priority.

STATE OF THE NATION leadership and development program that places a high value on relationships, authenticity and philanthropy plus the four institutional values. Each and every year the strength and value of the Team Mizzou community grows and never fails to amaze me.

The theme for our summer issue of MizzouRec Nation magazine is COMMUNITY. The word has origins from the Old French word communité, which is from the Latin communitas, bringing together cum “with or together” plus munus meaning “gift.”

Whether you choose the Old French, Latin or English, it’s a beautiful word with a perfectly lovely meaning. With gift. Say the word fast and it will sound spirited. Pronounce it slowly, drawing out each of the four syllables and the word will take on a tone of reverence.

Regardless of your preferred style of pronunciation, the meaning is the same: People with common values and interests coming together, sharing their personal gifts and engaged in a common purpose.

COMMUNITY is a term applied broadly today as a result of the way our world has expanded with the internet. People can now boast memberships in all sorts of communities, both real and virtual. I took a quick inventory of my own communities and came up with quite a membership list. Maine South Alumni - virtual and real.

Elmhurst College - virtual and real. COMO/

8

College Park Yale Drive neighborhood - very real and complete with a garden to tend and weed. National Intramural-Rec Sports Association - real and virtual. Student Affairs directors - real. Ancestry.com - virtual and very fun. Columbia Farmers Market - real.

The Greater Columbia Community - real. The MU Campus Community - real. MizzouRec and Team Mizzou - wonderfully real! Special Olympic Missouri - real and getting more real with the Summer Games coming up. The list could go on, but as I said, I took a quick (aka incomplete) inventory.

What glues these communities together are shared common values, purpose and social cohesion. As such, MizzouRec plays an important role in campus community building by providing programs, places and spaces that help strengthen relationships.

One of the many great ways to “find your people”and truly connect with the Mizzou community is by working on campus.

At MizzouRec, we saw an opportunity to build a community of student staff members when we created TEAM MIZZOU nearly fifteen years ago. More than just “a job,” TEAM MIZZOU is a student staffing,

I had the honor of presiding over the 13th Annual Spring Roar Celebration of Excellence this past May. Out of nearly 500 Team Mizzou members, 260 qualified for the event through their service hours and Job Performance Average ratings (JPA.) The members turned out in their business best looking impressive especially when all gathered together in the ballroom at the Reynolds Alumni Center. I looked at the list of honorees and was struck by how many had joined us in their first or second year on campus.

Longevity has benefits on the two way street to building a community. I announced each of the award-winning categories from Employees of the Year to the Team Mizzou Scholars for 2012 to the most coveted awards for service, spirit, leadership, achievement, creativity and excellence.

Indeed it was a community, those wonderful Team Mizzou members coming together with gifts which they gladly shared with us during their time here and hopefully, we shared with them as well. I am so proud to be a member of the MizzouRec Team Mizzou community.

Their gifts to me have been most generous and I am grateful.

Tiger Express Members must exit the facility at or before 12:30pm (Monday-Friday) to avoid charges for the full membership. Other restrictions do apply, please contact the Membership Desk for complete guidelines.

HOW TO ACCESS MIZZOUREC

Participants must present a valid picture ID for admittance into the MU Student Recreation Complex. False identification ID’s will be confiscated and ultimately turned over to ID Card Office or MUPD. Individuals who present false identification, or whose ID is presented by another individual may be suspended from MizzouRec as determined by the Membership Coordinator.

Please contact Membership Services at 882-0369 for more information on how to access the MU Student Recreation Complex, located just inside the Hitt Street entrance.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH YOUR STUDENT REC FEE?

All students registered for 7 or more on-campus credit hours per semester, Fall, Spring, and/or Summer, are automatically assessed the Student Recreation fee by the University. Each semester has a separate fee and access coincides with the current semester’s enrollment.

Students who are enrolled in 6 credit hours or less have the option to add the Recreation Fee to their student account.

Please note if you have a combination of online and on-campus courses that total more than 7 hours you will not automatically be billed the fee – it is easy to have the fee added either here at the Rec or in the cashier’s office.

Summer Recreation fee will be $68.20 and will allow members access from June 4, 2012 – August 18, 2012. The full fee will be charged through July 9 at which time the rate will be reduced to $34.10.

The Student Recreation Fee is applicable to enrolled students only – if you were a student in the spring and will again be enrolled for the fall you still can have a membership at the Rec! You are classified as what we call a Stop-Out Student Member and your rate per month will be $35.43.

If you had a spring membership through your paid Student Recreation Fee you will have access until June 3, 2012 and your fall membership will be honored beginning Sunday, August 5, 2012.

Therefore for the months of June and July you can purchase the Stop-Out membership for a total of $70.86 – just know you cannot student charge, remember you are not enrolled!

TIGERX LEISUREU PERSONAL TRAINING TIGER SWIM RECSPORTS CLUB SPORTS TEAM MIZZOU MIZZOU WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL

WHAT IS TIGERX? TigerX is MizzouRec’s premiere group fitness program that provides quality, creativity, and energy in a group setting.

With over 120 hours of classes during the fall/spring semesters and a busy summer schedule, there is no shortage of classes to choose from. TigerX offers classes to meet a variety of members’ fitness goals from cardio-inspired dance classes to calming, meditative yoga classes. With four different studios catering to our diverse schedule, it is easy to get in weekly cardio, strength, and flexibility workouts. TigerX classes are designed to make your fitness goals easily attainable by giving you a fun and energizing workout.

Each TigerX class is led by motivating and passionate TigerX instructors. Many instructors started out as TigerX members, and loved the program so much that they couldn’t help becoming involved at a higher level. We’ve designed instructor training programs that develop, educate, and train participants to become leaders.

TigerX passes are sold during each semester (fall, spring, and summer); with an unlimited and one-class option pass available. Passes are non-refundable nontransferable, and are available to purchase from zouLIFE, located in Downtown Brewer. If a member isn’t ready to make the commitment to TigerX right away, we offer free weeks at the start of each of the semesters. Some of our classes, such as the cardio-driven cycling classes in the Tiger Lair or the sculpting powerhouse of reformer Pilates, require reservations. Reservations are accepted a day in advance, and can be made by calling zouLIFE at (573) 884-6555 or stopping by zouLIFE during business hours.

TigerX is an essential part of the MizzouRec experience, and one you don’t want to miss out on. Find our schedule online, like us on Facebook, take a class, and find out what maximum participation is all about.

HOW TO BECOME A TIGERX INSTRUCTOR You love to workout. To you, breaking a sweat is a necessity. You would never think of missing a core class, or a vinyasa, or a climb up a hill on the bike. In addition, you are a great communicator who can manage your time with the best of them. You want to motivate and inspire others in their fitness journeys. If those last few sentences describe you, then you might want to think about becoming an instructor with the TigerX program at MizzouRec. Each semester we look for talented, dedicated, and responsible individuals to lead our TigerX classes. Being a TigerX instructor is an integral part of our Team Mizzou program where we value relationships, philanthropy, and authenticity in addition to the institutional values at Mizzou.

If you are interested in becoming a TigerX instructor, the first step is to either enroll in one of our instructor training programs through our LeisureU program, or become nationally certified before applying during Team Mizzou Recruitment. Each semester we offer our general instructor training course taught by current TigerX instructors. This course prepares you to take the ACE Group Fitness Instructor exam, and become nationally certified to teach group fitness courses. During the fall semester we offer a Yoga Instructor training course as well. In the spring semester, we offer Indoor Cycling and Pilates Instructor training courses. All of our courses meet once a week for 1.5 to 2 hours. Textbooks and reading materials will be required for each course. Information about the required materials will be given during the first week of the course. Sign-ups take place in zouLIFE, located in Downtown Brewer starting at the beginning of the semester through the first week of the course. For more information about in-house programs, please email Rebeka Leinberger at leinbergerr@missouri.edu.

Although it is not required (except for Zumba and Turbo Kick classes) at the time of application, certification is required by the end of the first semester of teaching in the TigerX program. MizzouRec hosts several opportunities during the year to become nationally certified in different modalities such as cycling, yoga, group fitness, and Pilates. The best way to stay up to date on these opportunities is to check our website, like us on Facebook, and look for promotional materials around the facility. Depending on the certification, registration will either take place in zouLIFE, or through an outside organization. If you currently hold a certification in a fitness area, then you are not required to enroll in our instructor training courses. You will need to provide proof of your certification during your application process.

Once you have participated in our instructor training courses, or become certified, then it is time to apply for a position with Team Mizzou in our TigerX program. Recruitment for Team Mizzou is held at different times during each semester. Information is posted in the MizzouRec NATION magazine, on our website, and Facebook pages about recruitment dates.

TigerX recruitment takes place during the second round of recruitment each semester. This coincides with the end of the instructor training courses. If an applicant makes it to the second round of interviews, then an audition is held. Auditions are 20-30 minutes in length in the modality the applicant is applying for. Once an applicant is hired, then they are paired with senior instructors who will mentor and assist the new instructor during his or her first semester of teaching.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, OR TO GET A SPECIFIC QUESTION ANSWERED, PLEASE EMAIL REBEKA LEINBERGER AT LEINBERGERR@MISSOURI.EDU. WE LOVE OUR TIGERX INSTRUCTORS, AND LOVE ADDING PEOPLE TO OUR INCREDIBLE TEAM. DON’T LET THIS OPPORTUNITY PASS YOU BY TO BECOME A PART OF THE LARGER MIZZOUREC COMMUNITY!

HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOURTIGERX MEMBERSHIP At first glance, the TigerX schedule can seem like a maze. It doesn’t have to stay that way for long if you follow these tips. You’ll be giving out suggestions and recommendations like a professional before the mid-point of the semester comes around.

1) Buy your TigerX pass early

Whether you are buying the unlimited or one class option, it helps to buy your pass early. Lines can be long during the first week of classes. Allow yourself plenty of time to purchase your pass and arrive before the start of class. Remember to bring a photo ID with you to class as well!

2) Learn the classes All of our classes are divided by type: cardio, sculpt, dance, mind/ body, and cycling. Cycling and dance classes are a great way to work in a cardiovascular workout.

3) Make a well balanced workout plan The American College of Sports

Medicine (ACSM) recommends a balanced fitness program that includes cardiorespiratory, resistance, flexibility, and neuromotor exercises. The great thing about TigerX is that we have a class for each one of those categories.

Cardiorespiratory Exercise:

The ACSM recommends 150 minutes or moderateintensity work per week. It’s easy to get that in by taking a 30 minute Tabata class, a 50 minute cycling class, a 50 minute Turbo Kick class, and maybe a 45 minute Circuit class each week.

Resistance Exercise:

The ACSM recommends that each major muscle groups should be trained 2-3 days per week. The good news is some of the cardio classes also incorporate resistance training like Circuit, Basic Training, and Tabata. Pilates, either Mat or Reformer, is another great way to work in resistance exercise. Look for resistance exercise classes listed under Sculpt classes in our materials. Make sure you aren’t doing resistance training of the same muscle groups back-to-back. Your body needs time to regenerate and recover to build muscle. Wait 24-48 hours between resistance training workouts.

Flexibility Exercise:

The ACSM recommends flexibility exercise 2-3 times per week to improve range of motion. Yoga and Pilates classes are great ways to work in flexibility exercise.

We have several yoga classes for several different levels of participants. Find the one that works for you, and stay with it.

Neuromotor Exercise: The ACSM recommends this type of exercise 2-3 times per week. This type of training is sometimes referred to as “functional fitness”. Classes like Drills, Basic Training, Circuit, Yoga, and Pilates all accomplish this goal. These classes and type of training will improve your balance, agility, and coordination.

4) Keep coming to class! Stick with your plan the whole semester, and see all the 24

improvements you will make in your fitness, energy levels, and focus. You will come away stronger, fitter, and more balanced. So make the investment in yourself, and buy a TigerX pass.

Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle, Caleb Phillips

Walk into MizzouRec during the afternoon or evening and you will find an abundance of students lifting in the Pump Room or jogging in the Jungle Gym. Students enjoy pushing themselves to new limits, working out with friends and checking out what new TigerX classes are offered. But when it comes to nutrition, it is harder for college students to eat healthy. Buying fruits and vegetables and keeping them fresh in a residence hall can be challenging. Free pizza at meetings is hard to pass up. And the desert table at the dining halls, well, that goes without saying. But for students who value exercise so much, a nutritious diet can lead you to a new level of fitness, and MizzouRec has resources available to help.

When it comes to fitness, diet plays a key role. The benefits are endless, but what it all boils down to is not only looking better, but feeling better as well. Josh Hockett, the Strength and Conditioning Facility Coordinator at MizzouRec, has seen countless students enter MizzouRec with similar goals in mind.

While nutrition plays a key role in weight loss and management, it is also a critical component for muscle gain. Logan McNeely, another zouLIFE Personal Trainer, focuses more on strength training both with his clients and in his personal fitness routine. He has seen the power of nutrition first hand through his own experience.

“The overarching theme at the Rec seems to be weight loss,” Josh says. “Students want to lose body fat and get lean. Other main themes tend to be gaining muscle mass and bulking up, along with simply maintaining a healthy lifestyle.”

Logan began lifting and continued to eat without a diet plan, but found that he wasn’t seeing the results he wanted to.

Hockett knows that all of these goals start with a healthy diet, but that each of these diets differs with each goal. A specific fitness plan starts with a specific diet plan, and there are always key things to look for. Kacie Gelvin, a zouLIFE Personal Trainer, works mainly with clients looking to lose weight and routinely starts by addressing up front that the client will only see results if they put healthy food into their body.

“It is 80/20, meaning 80 percent nutrition and 20 percent workouts,” Kacie says. “I can give you the most intense workout of your life, but if you are eating pizza and ice cream, it won’t make a difference.”

One of the biggest things Kacie has noticed with clients and others in general is that a majority of people lack fruits and vegetables. They are the perfect source of sustained energy that lasts longer than things like refined sugar and caffeine. They keep you on a natural energy high through getting the good carbs, good fats and vitamins that keep you energized all day long.

“Having good nutrition makes working out so much easier,” Kacie says. “When you eat well, your mood is better, you can sleep better and you have more energy.”

30

“Yes, I was getting stronger, but I wanted to get more cut along with getting bigger,” Logan says. “I started watching what I ate and eating healthier foods. Once I made that change, that was when I saw the biggest change with my body than I ever had. It was the first time I had ever gotten a six pack.”

Even as an intense lifter, Logan still believes nutrition is number one and knows that each diet must be different for each person. “My diet fits my body,” Logan says. ”What may work for one person may not work for another.” And MizzouRec has a great resource for members to find what diet works for them.

Ginger Meyer is the registered dietician for MizzouRec. She meets with clients to give them guidance on how to change their diet. The great thing about Ginger, though, is that she is all about customization.

“I started watching what I ate and eating healthier foods.

Once I made that change, that was when I saw the biggest change with my body than I ever had. It was the first time I had ever gotten a six pack.”

Logan McNeely, zouLIFE Personal Trainer

“In my experience, individualizing a plan is the best way for someone to be successful,” Ginger says.

Ginger takes many important factors into account to help create an individualized diet plan for each client. The first thing she asks any client about is their motivation level for working toward a healthier lifestyle. She then assesses their current eating habits and patterns, looking at what foods they like to eat, what they don’t like to eat, when they eat, where they like to eat and portion sizes. She also looks at medical nutrition needs, such as high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. Based on all of that, she works with clients to set up initial goals and create their customized diet plan.

“Making changes in small steps allows you to feel better and eat healthier foods as part of a lifestyle,” Ginger says. “If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, you are more likely to be more active and feel better about exercising.”

Kacie can also attest that her most successful clients have been the ones who have utilized a dietician. For example, one of her clients frequently ate fast food, especially Mexican. Her client had a hard time getting through workouts and was not seeing much improvement.

“All of a sudden, she starting eating healthy and cut down on the Mexican.”

Kacie says. “Now, she is in so much better shape. Her cardio has improved and she does not have to catch her breath as often.”

SAMPLE DIET PLAN

There are a variety of options at MizzouRec for someone who is looking to improve their nutrition.

To schedule your own nutrition consultation with the zouLIFE Dietitian and maximize your fitness routine, email MizzouRecTraining@missouri.edu for more information.

BREAKFAST

I’m a big believer in eggs with some fresh fruit. That will give you the protein, natural sugar, antioxidants and fiber to keep you full and energized all day.

32

LUNCH

Sweet potatoes have tons of vitamin A and Potassium, and the fiber in fruit keeps you full. Add in some lean protein like turkey or chicken and some colorful veggies of your pick.

SNACK

Fruit, nuts, string cheese and almonds have healthy fats that keep you full.

DRINK, DRINK, DRINK! If you’re hydrated, you process food better, feel full longer, and sometimes being dehydrated makes you feel hungry when you really just need to drink some water!

Grocery Shopping List Produce

Fresh Mushrooms

(to save you can always go with canned)

Strawberries Bananas

Low Sodium/No Fat Chicken Stock Leaf Let tuce

(some of the leafier varieties have more nutrition that just

regular let tuce)

Zucchini

Cucumber Tomato

Red Onion

Sweet Potato Garlic

(fresh garlic provides so much more flavor than the jar)

Raspberries

Grape Tomatoes

Deli/Meat Case Deli Sliced Turkey Deli Sliced Ham

Chicken Breasts

(the frozen are a cost saving option – but remember to thaw

them before using)

Miscellaneous Items Lemon Juice

Extra Virgin Olive Oil Dried Oregano

(fresh herbs have more flavor – but dried kept longer and are

less expensive)

Dried Parsley

Dark Chocolate Squares

(70% Cacao or higher heart healthier than milk

chocolate)

Brown Rice

(Minute Rice will work, but the slow cook version is worth the wait

and cheaper!)

Whole Wheat Pita Pockets Almonds Pecans

(unsalted or salted)

(unsalted or salted)

Dairy Swiss Cheese

(pre-shredded is easier but is more expensive then the brick)

String Cheese Skim Milk

Large Eggs

Marinade for 2 Chicken Breasts *Suggested marinade time of one hour in refrigerator

DINNER

If you are trying to gain weight, end the day with carbs (ie. brown rice), whole grain bread and some lean protein like steak or chicken.

If you are trying to cut weight, try some broth based soup.

Skip the carbs later in day since you are less active and instead opt for salad or fruit, but keep the veggies, fruits and lean proteins.

1/3 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon dried parsley

1 tablespoon dried oregano 1-2 cloves minced garlic

Salt and Pepper to taste

Baked or Grill Chicken Times and temp vary based on oven or grill, internal temp of prepared chicken should reach 165 degrees. **Hint for the brown rice – substitute water for chicken stock for more flavor!

TIPS FROM THE TRAINERS I love making omelets. You can put anything in them, like peppers, onions, mushrooms, lean meats, cheese and salsa. I’m in a strength training regimen right now, so in mine, I put six egg whites, three whole eggs, three ounces lean ground turkey, peppers, onions and a little cheese.

- Logan McNeely, zouLIFE Personal Trainer

I am really big on crockpotting. I lead a busy lifestyle, so I will defrost some chicken overnight, put it in the crockpot in the morning with some teriyaki and lots of veggies. I set it, leave it, and whenever I come home I have a fresh meal. That way I have no excuse to stop by McDonald’s on the way home.

- Kacie Gelvin, zouLIFE Personal Trainer

Pre-workout and post-workout snacks are some of the most important meals you can eat. Consuming fast digesting food within 45 minutes after your workout can significantly improve recovery time and lead to gains in lean body mass and improved body composition. I like fruit juice and a protein shake or chicken breast to refuel after a workout.

- Matt Carlin, zouLIFE Personal Trainer

I stay away from refined sugar. Try to go an entire week cutting out all sugars except those in fruits and see how much better you feel. Not to mention your sweets cravings will be gone.

- Stephen Cooper, zouLIFE Personal Trainer

How do I contact a club?

How do Club Sports differ from RecSports?

When/where do club sports practice?

Club Sports are student led organizations that travel and compete against other collegiate Club Sports teams. They can be instructional or competitive in nature.

Club Sports travel and compete against other University Club Sports teams and/ or in the community whereas Rec Sports teams compete solely within the Mizzou community.

Who is eligible to join?

MU Undergraduate students who are enrolled in six (6) credit hours/ semester and MU Graduate students who are enrolled in three (3) credit hours/semester and have a minimum 2.0 GPA. *Faculty and Staff also have the opportunity to participate with select Club Sports, as long as they have a valid membership to attend those practices if in the MizzouRec Complex.

Do I need experience in order to participate?

Experience is not necessary with all Club Sports as some are more instructional in nature and will teach you their sport. Others are more advanced and prior experience is highly recommended. The club contacts can give you more specific information regarding the recommended level of play related to their Club Sport.

Are there tryouts?

Some clubs host tryouts while others are always accepting members. More specific information can be obtained from the club sport contact listed on our website or the Club Sports Coordinator.

38

Each Club has an email address available to you next to their club sport in the magazine and on our website at MizzouRec.com→Programs→Club Sports

Club Sports practice in a variety of locations, most of which are spaces within and around the Mizzou Rec Complex. There are clubs that hold practices offsite including locations within Columbia, Jefferson City and even St. Louis. Practice times vary from morning to evening and practice on average 2-3 times a week. Clubs are typically active during the fall and spring semesters.

How much does it cost?

Each sport determines their cost of dues based on the cost associated with the sport. Dues can range from $10 to over $500; however, some club sports do not charge any dues.

How are new Club Sports formed?

There are steps in becoming a University of Missouri recognized Club Sport. Please contact the Club Sports Coordinator if you have any questions prior to completing your first step of filling out a New Organization Form found on the Missouri ORG website (www.getinvolved.missouri.edu).

WHAT IS LEISURE U? Leisure U courses are designed to give members the opportunity to learn a new skill, enhance skills they already have, or become an expert on a subject.

Our LeisureU program is divided into two different categories: Instructor Training Courses and Lifeworks Courses. Our training courses are in-depth classes designed to help members become an expert in a certain area. Lifeworks courses are designed for those members looking to develop new skills or improve upon the ones that they already have. We offer courses through our LeisureU program in the fall and spring semesters. The course line-up changes from semester to semester. The easiest way to stay informed about our courses is to read the MizzouRec Nation, check our website, like us on Facebook, or stop by zouLIFE. Our INSTRUCTOR TRAINING PROGRAM covers not only TigerX courses, but also our personal trainer prep course. Each of our instructor training courses are at least 8 weeks in length, and require study outside of class time. In the case of our personal training prep course, optional hands-on lab time is also provided. At the end of our TigerX general instructor training course, as well as our personal training course, attendees are prepared to take examinations from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) to become certified. The computer-based form of the test is available on campus. We hope that by the end of the course attendees feel like experts, and are prepared to start working in the field.

Our LIFEWORKS PROGRAM are shorter classes designed to give a taste of a given subject. We have offered classes such as ballroom dancing, self-defense, meditative yoga, contemporary dance, and 5k/10k training. Most courses are 4-6 weeks in length, with classes lasting for 50 minutes. Lifeworks courses are a great way to grow in a particular area without a significant time commitment. Two sessions of courses are held during each fall and spring semester.

To sign up for any of our LeisureU courses, stop by zouLIFE, located in Downtown Brewer. Space is limited in all of the courses, and there is a minimum registration number that must be met for the courses to be held. For more information, please email our Fitness Coordinator, Rebeka Leinberger at leinbergerr@missouri.edu.

BEHIND THE SCENES: INTERNS AT MIZZOUREC

Amy Tesch

MizzouRec is one of the largest student employers on campus.

However, most students do not realize the REC can provide opportunities beyond the frontline positions for superior professional development. Opportunities that will give students an edge when seeking employment after graduation, applying for graduate school or even prepare them for full-time appointment with MizzouRec. Behind the scenes and a central part of MizzouRec are our interns.

During the spring semester, MizzouRec had two students completing internship and graduate assistantship work in various areas of the facility. Erick Salvatierra and Clayton Hill can be seen assisting professional staff during events or speaking to Team Mizzou staff about how to best improve the student working experience. Unlike most companies or businesses, MizzouRec does not advertise these types of positions to the general student population because they are customizable to the current need of both the organization and a particular student. These experiences through the REC are created and tailored into specialized opportunities based on the mutual needs of the REC and the personal goals of the students.

52

Erick, like others before him, crafted his internship opportunity when the need presented itself to him. “Already being a Team Mizzou Member since May 2010, I have always seized opportunities to internally cross utilize within the Rec Complex. I have held positions mainly in the Aquatic Center, such as Tiger Swim Instructor, Lifeguard, Aquatic Event Staff, and other minor aquatic positions.”

The various positions he has held allowed him to be selected as a representative of the Team Mizzou Advising Committee, a small student group that acts as liaisons between student and professional staff. While on TMAC, Erick discovered there was a need for the current student wage scale to be assessed and remodeled.

“I continued to think about the issue and realized that would be a project that one would have to invest a significant amount of time for. I promptly noticed that this issue was in fact an opportunity [to fulfill my internship expectation for graduation].” Erick immediately contacted Emily Bach, Assistant Director of Membership, Marketing, and Team Mizzou to discuss the internship potential.

Operational and administrative experiences are not the only benefits to interning with MizzouRec. Clayton believes the best part about working with the Rec is, “Besides working with nationally recognized programs, I really enjoy the staff from students to professionals. It’s rare to find such a flexible, fun, exciting and appreciative work place to contribute your time and effort.”

Much like Erick, Clayton was able to craft an experience that would best serve his needs while also assisting the department in a time a need. Clayton has demonstrated superior performance and was able to convert his general internship into a graduate assistantship and is now pursuing an advanced degree in Parks, Recreation and Tourism here at MU.

“Besides working with nationally recognized programs, I really enjoy the staff from students to professionals.

It’s rare to find such a flexible, fun, exciting and appreciative work place to contribute your time and effort.”

Emily knew this assessment had to be completed and could not devote the proper time needed. Erick was invested in the process because the outcome, appropriated adjusted student wages, would benefit him and his fellow Team Mizzou members. The need and opportunity were perfectly timed and thus Erick’s internship was created.

But not all of our interns started as members of Team Mizzou. Clayton Hill approached us after completing his undergraduate degree in order to gain more experience in campus recreation after a successful run at Southeast Missouri State.

Clayton, who spends his time with Programs and Services at MizzouRec, reached out to MizzouRec in the Spring of 2011 as he was finishing his Bachelor Degree in Parks and Recreation. He knew he had the academic credentials to begin work in the recreation field and he had some experience working at SEMO’s student recreation center, but he wasn’t quite confident he was as prepared as he could be.

“I was looking to build quality administrative skills that will allow me to learn and grow as a young professional.” He joined MizzouRec to continue to gain experience while working with new programs like RecSports, Club Sports, and Event Management.

Clayton Hill, MizzouRec Graduate Assistant Erick states, “My fellow Team Mizzou Members are sources of aid and development. We all learn from each other every day, allowing Mizzou’s four core values to continue to flourish. Without respect and responsibility we wouldn’t be able display excellence, nor be able to discover what we want to do upon graduating from the University of Missouri.”

Whether a student has been immersed in the Team Mizzou culture for several years or is just starting graduate school at Mizzou, internships and graduate assistantships are a viable option for anyone who is willing to ask about creating an opportunity for personal and educational growth at MizzouRec. To potential interns, Clayton adds, “The world is yours! Take it! Be positive. Be ambitious. If interning at the REC is something you want to do start making contact with professional staff members, express your interest, and find a way to make it happen!”

And a hint of advice directly from MizzouRec, best chances to craft your opportunity are from within. We encourage students interested in careers in campus recreation gain valuable frontline experience first, before pursuing an internship. Joining Team Mizzou can make all the difference as not all internship inquiries play out like Clayton’s. More often than not our interns and graduate assistants are identified from within as Team Mizzou members best understand the culture and expectations of the department.

For more information contact Emily Bach, Associate Director, at bache@missouri.edu.

As we take you on a tour of our nationally recognized facility and describe to you the spaces and activities available to you, we believe you will find that with all we have to offer to you through MizzouRec we truly will be “the best part of your Mizzou day and your first choice for fun!”

BEST NATION IN THE

Before we get started with our tour, there are a few items we would like to share with you and encourage you to take advantage of while visiting MizzouRec. SECURING YOUR VALUABLE ITEMS: The Student Recreation Complex provides a variety of ways for you to safely and smartly secure the valuable items you bring with you. We encourage all students to leave as much as they can in their rooms or apartments. But if you must bring valuable items to the REC; cell phone, wallet, sunglasses, laptop’s, etc. be SMART and SECURE your items. Do not leave your items unattended while working out!

128 individual lockers in the BOTH the Men’s and Women’s General Locker Rooms (located on the ground floor of the Student Recreation Complex across from Brewer Station). To secure your items make sure to bring a lock of some kind. Remember you must remove all items before close of each day.

72 individual, back-pack size day lockers (located on the Jungle Gym Mezzanine adjacent to Red Hall Lobby and across from the Jungle Gym). To secure your items feed the locker a quarter, store items, close the door, and remove the key. To retrieve your items simply insert the key and open the locker door. You even get your quarter back!

WE KNOW PARKING IS A PREMIUM AROUND CAMPUS. Members should never park in the Service Vehicle identified spots along Hitt Street, the Emergency Vehicle cut-out along Hitt Street, or the department loading dock. Parking in these locations is strictly for those vehicles as identified and you can be issued a ticket or have your vehicle towed. So, what is a GOOD way to travel to the Student Rec Complex? Pedal Power! The Student Recreation Complex provides over 100 COVERED bike parking spaces at the West entrance and 20 bike parking spaces at the Southeast entrance along Truman’s Pond.

Do not lock your bike to a pole or fence, it may be removed and you can receive a ticket.

Now that we have some business out of the way, you are fully prepared for a tour of the Nation’s Finest!

GET THE FACTS Performance Nutrition 101:

H2O...the forgotten When 1+1 = 3 edge to performance and health

Did you know that after a good resistance training workout, taking a higher glycemic carbohydrate at the same time as a fast digesting whey protein has synergistic effects that together are greater in magnitude then taking either one alone?

Did you know that body water loss of 2% or more during moderately strenuous exercise, can lead to performance decay and premature feelings of fatigue?

Well it’s true. According to The American College of Sports Medicine, losing just 2% of your bodyweight in water from a normally hydrated state strongly correlates with drops in performance and the increased perceptions of effort and fatigue. It has also been found that recovery from exercise in terms of muscle strength and size gains can be limited by acute dehydration during and after workouts sessions. If you exercise at moderate to high intensity less than 75 minutes, plain water is just fine. If you exercise for 75 minutes or more, consider a 6-8% glucose drink which is to better at maintaining hydration and blood glucose levels.

In the heat make sure to adjust your needs as you may need more fluids before and during exercise to compensate for increased sweat rates.

The take-home?

Grab water or an electrolyte/glucose enriched beverage before and during your workouts to maximize performance and optimize recovery.

It’s true! According to the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, studies on “Nutrient Timing” have shown that ingesting a combination of fast digesting carbohydrates with a fast digesting whey protein isolate will amplify the adaptations and recovery characteristics of the body to the workout session compared to skipping it. Approximately 60-90 minutes before a workout, the body needs just the right amount and type of fuel to allow you to exercise at peak levels and sustain high energy outputs. After a workout the body has undergone stress and muscle breakdown, now it’s time to start recovery. The body’s muscles act like a sponge and look to soak up glucose (from what carbs you eat) and amino acids (from protein you eat).

This makes for an ideal time to give the body a quick, easy to digest food source that is broken down and assimilated by the body during this “window of opportunity” as it’s called in sports nutrition slang.

The take-home?

Be sure to consume a high carb snack bar along with a whey protein based recovery drink to give your body just what it needs when it needs it most.

MIZZOU AQUATIC CENTER Each and every day hundreds of MizzouRec members tug on their swimsuits, adjust their goggles, and slip into flip-flops readym to make a splash in one of the inviting bodies of water that comprise the Mizzou Aquatic Center. All four pools offer venues for just about anything you might want to do in the water, and more!

Proper Attire

While we encourage proper swimming attire, the definition of swimming attire has evolved through the years, and we encourage you to wear what makes you comfortable. If you would like to wear swimming shorts and a “rash” shirt over your suit, please do. If you would like to wear water shoes in the Tiger Grotto while you walk, jog, or exercise, we endorse that. If you have cultural requirements for swimming attire, we support that too. We do ask that all your swim attire is clean and not the same clothes you have just worn to workout. We also encourage full showering with soap before entering the pool, as this will reduce the amount of organic compounds introduced to the pool that will react with the chlorine, producing the chemicals that result in the chlorine smell of a pool. These are not only unpleasant to the senses; they can also have an effect on the eyes and respiratory system.

Since you have your ID with you to enter the facility, you should take advantage of the towel service at Brewer Service Station, our equipment distribution center located in Downtown Brewer. Across the hall from the locker rooms, you are able to pick up a fresh towel before heading to the locker room to change, stow your gear, and shower – just remember shoes or sandals are required when you are in the facility. Upon exiting the locker room into the Aquatic Corridor, you have a choice of which pool you can utilize during your recreation and leisure time.

Schedule

The facility schedule is set per semester, and outlines the hours for each of the pools within the Mizzou Aquatic Center. The recreation and leisure schedule is based on historic user patterns, program and practice schedules. We will open and close facilities throughout the day to provide opportunities to you that fit your needs while remaining good stewards of your fees. Closing facilities during historically low use periods will allow us to open more facilities and stay open longer during high-use periods. Any interruptions or changes to schedules are communicated quickly via our website, signage, and electronic communication and social media.

We play host to a number of aquatic competitions each year which will take either the 50 meter pool and or Diving Well off-line for anywhere from six hours to five days. We strive to make this competition schedule available and keep it as up-to-date as possible, and that means publishing the calendar regularly, via several different outlets, so that you are inconvenienced as little as possible. When we do close facilities for events or maintenance, we try to open other facilities, such as the Tiger Grotto, for extended hours in order to provide you continued opportunities for your recreation and leisure pursuits.

50 METER POOL AND DIVING WELL

The 50 meter pool in the Mizzou Aquatic Center is one of the jewels in the crown that is the University of Missouri Student Recreation Complex because it allows one of the best competition pools in the nation to be available to you each and every day.

Dubbed “Fast Water” by fourteen-time Olympic Gold Medalist, Michael Phelps after his then world record 200 meter butterfly performance at the 2007 Missouri Grand Prix, the 50 meter pool has hosted almost every top name in American swimming today, and many international stars as well. You can swim where the Mizzou Swimming and Diving teams train and compete year-around.

In the same space as the 50 meter pool you will find the Diving Well that features full 10 meter platform and four springboards that are used for training and competition only, but you can swim in the eight, 25 yard lanes below.

We provide you with kickboards, pull-buoys, and aqua jogging belts, found in equipment cages at both pools. You are welcome to bring any other training equipment you need, such as fins, goggles, paddles, and even underwater headphones and personal music system—if you have one. Upon entering the 50 meter and Diving Well area, assess the lanes available and look for a lane which has other swimmers who are moving at a speed close to yours, if possible, to ensure less congestion and frustration. We encourage sharing lanes, so we enforce circle swimming in the Mizzou Aquatic Center—down on the right, back on the right—which allows for several swimmers or joggers in each lane at the same time. If you are unsure of how to proceed, please approach one of our Team Mizzou Lifeguards or Leads who can assist you in finding the proper space.

You will have opportunities most weeks to swim both long course (50 meters) and short course (25 yards), as we will “flip” the pool to different configurations based on programmatic needs. We will post this schedule on our website, and notify you of any changes as we become aware. We will also work to let you know how many lanes will be available during the day so that you are able to adjust your visit to a time that might be more open.

Guidelines & Etiquette RESPECT

Be respectful of the facility, the equipment, the other patrons and staff on duty.

BE CONSIDERATE

Please be aware of and take care not to interrupt others’ swimming with your entry or exit, when changing equipment or resting. The lanes are for lap swimming only.

Please exit the pool for long conversations or extended breaks.

LANE CHOICE AND PACING

Know your abilities as a swimmer. Be aware of the water depth, and choose a lane with other swimmers at a similar skill level and pace.

ENTRY

Enter the water feet first. Make sure you are aware of the water depth and other swimmers while entering or exiting.

LAP SWIM ETIQUETTE 1 CHOOSE A LANE WITH OTHER SWIMMERS AT A SIMILAR SKILL LEVEL AND PACE.

2 SWIM COUNTERCLOCKWISE; THE LANE

Lane lines are not weight bearing equipment. Please do not hang onto the lines between sets or after workouts.

4 PASS DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. 5 YIELD TO SWIMMERS COMING INTO THE

IMPORTANCE THE

of

COMMUNITY Liz Stratman

When I walk into MizzouRec at 6:00 a.m. and am greeted with a sincere smile and a “How are you?” as my ID card is swiped, I feel honored to be a part of Team Mizzou. Making my way down the stairs to Brewer Station, I swipe my card to clock in and again, am greeted with a friendly smile. As I enter TigerX Studio C, I receive a warm welcome from my co-instructor who’s beginning to wheel out the yoga mats for class.

My experiences in the TigerX and Team Mizzou communities have been nothing but positive. I am surrounded by a variety of types of people, all of whom have come together to make MizzouRec a fun and safe environment for students and faculty to utilize.

MizzouRec Associate Director Emily Bach believes the variety of opportunities the Rec provides correlates with the diversity of people involved in communities within MizzouRec. “We have several niche groups within the facility, and it is due in large part to the many fitness and leisure opportunities we offer. People of all ages, backgrounds and fitness level seek out MizzouRec for, the most part, personal reasons, but end up finding a new community of friends.”

MizzouRec provides a number of different communities through programs such as Club Sports, RecSports and Wheelchair Basketball for Mizzou students to become involved in.

Director of Disability Services Barbara Hammer supports the Wheelchair Basketball community at MizzouRec. “I just really support their goals of providing an alternative type of recreation, competitive sport,” Hammer explained. “I think it really speaks a lot to the fact that you can be an incredible athlete even if you’re in a wheelchair.”

Hammer believes identifying with a community is very important.

“We’re all social animals, and we need that kind of connectivity with each other to make our lives richer,” Hammer said. “It’s also to find ways to support things that we believe in.”

MizzouRec Director Diane Dahlmann describes how MizzouRec encourages people to “find” their community. “MizzouRec encourages students and others in the greater Mizzou community to ‘find their people’ by providing specifically engineered spaces and places that allow people to safely meet and observe each other,” Dahlmann said.

“Activities, facilities, programs and services are all specially developed and delivered to not only help create a sense of belonging, a sense of community, but to help develop, build and deepen relationships, too.”

This sense of community, according to Dahlmann, is essential to a student’s academic career and overall experience at Mizzou. “Being a part of a community gives people a sense of place, purpose and value,” Dahlmann said. “All three elements are critical to happy, healthy living.”

Simply stated, Dr. Cathy Scroggs, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, says a community is about “people that are engaged together for a common purpose.” She believes her involvement in communities provides her with some meaning for what she does.

“I like people, so it gives me an opportunity to connect with others and to learn from others,” Dr. Scroggs said. “It’s kind of renewing, I think, to have community. It really gives you a place to be safe; so you can be safe there, get renewed, go out and take risks, and then come back.”

Julaine Kiehn, director of Campus Dining Services, agrees that an effective community is one that brings people together for a common cause with shared interests and values. “One of the major things about being a part of a community would be shared values, so you can feel comfortable with other people because you believe in some of the same things,” Kiehn said. “And then that builds trust and respect. And if you have common goals, common purposes, you can accomplish a whole lot more and work effectively together.”

Missouri Students Association President Xavier Billingsley defines the word “community” as “a haven where people can come together

“Being part of a community gives people a sense of place, purpose and value. All three elements are critical to happy, healthy living.”

Diane Dahlmann, MizzouRec Director

and relate.” He says it is also a way for people to share common interests or goals and affect each other positively.

“I think being a part of community is so vital to a collegiate student’s career because that’s what defines you,” Billingsley said. “It’s great to be in the classroom setting, but your community setting outside of the classroom, that’s what helps you leave your legacy. And you want to leave a legacy that will be impactful.”

Rita Houg, Assistant Director of Conferences and Building Services, says communities give a person a support system to rely on. “They provide a support system for you mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, even,” Houg explained. “They help fulfill your life, for me, as opposed to being isolated and alone. They bring new things into your life that you can recognize that maybe you would have not been exposed to if you had not been a part of that group.”

While there are an infinite number of ways to define what a community is, the majority of people at Mizzou agree that communities are essential to leading a happy life and enjoying one’s experience at Mizzou. Without communities, we would miss out on the invaluable friendships and relationships, as well as opportunities associated with those groups. MizzouRec’s vast array of programs and services provide infinite ways to connect and build your community!
