Human Performance
The TAMU Center for Sport Management Research & Education’s Global Youth Sport for Development (GYS4D) Initiative presents the Engineered2Perform course, designed to help high school and college student-athletes optimize their performance in sport and life by addressing both physical and mental readiness. The course covers essential topics like athletic stretching, which enhances flexibility and prevents injuries, and athletic conditioning, which focuses on improving strength, endurance, and speed tailored to specific sports. It also teaches sports nutrition, helping student-athletes fuel performance, promote recovery, and maintain overall health.
The course provides guidance on the college recruitment process, starting with how to assess one’s recruitability and conduct a strategic college search based on personal fit, athletic level, and criteria. It also includes modules on building a personal recruitment brand and promoting it, including using digital platforms and in-person opportunities to connect with coaches and colleges. The Engineered2Perform course further educates student-athletes on how to navigate athletic scholarships, helping them evaluate offers, secure additional financial aid, and choose the best option for their future.
In response to NCAA’s new NIL policies, the course explores how student-athletes can build and monetize their personal brand, teaching them the process of self-analysis, brand development, and effective promotion within NCAA regulations. It covers strategies for partnering with sponsors, using social media for income generation, and launching e-commerce ventures to generate revenue from their personal brand. By combining these practical skills and knowledge, Engineered2Perform empowers student-athletes to reach their peak potential both in their athletic pursuits and academic careers.
Physical & Mental Health
Healthy across the Generations was established to promote healthy aging at every age. The emphasis is on generational connections and life-course trajectories from birth to childhood to adulthood to old age. One doesn’t wake up one day being old, rather aging is a lifelong process that is influenced by one’s genes and biology, attitudes and lifestyles, and contextual factors such as the social and physical environment. While many bemoan the rapid growth of global aging in gloom and doom terms, Healthy across the Generations views our changing population demography as an opportunity for greater understanding of factors affecting healthy aging and strategies for achieving optimal aging.
With a three-fold mission to support research, education, and practice, our Foundation focuses on a wide range of topical areas including but not limited to:
- Educational opportunities for youth to develop resilience that will help them cope with life’s challenges.
- Occupational health programs and policies enabling workers of all ages to be healthier and more productive.
- Age and culturally appropriate health promotion and disease prevention interventions to foster healthy aging.
- Impacts of the social and physical environment on lifestyle behaviors and health outcomes across the life-course.
- Technological interventions that accommodate changing physical capacities and reduce burdens of care.
- Intergenerational programming that supports both young and old.
- Identification and reduction of ageism in all aspects of daily life.
