Here's what some attendees from the 2010 NSRSM Level I had to say,
"We may never remember all the sessions or lessons we learned this week, but I will always remember the people! Years down the road I know I can call on them for anything."
“I have learned:
- The tools it takes to get to the next level
- Budget and Learning Outcomes (Both are huge for me!)
- Communication
- My behavior "S"
- How to become a well rounded professional"
"I wasn't sure what to expect when my director registered me for NSRSM! Honestly I did not want to come. Too busy with "Real Life" for another conference. I am totally happy to know that my time here has been amazing. Meeting other Rec folk, learning and having fun are my highlights. I am excited to know that I have made connections that will help me now and future."
"This was a great refresher of many of the things that I learned in graduate school and throughout the course of my career thus far. I met some amazing people and truly believe some of them will be my friends for life. I also learned/was reminded that I am more experienced and valuable than both I and sometimes my department give me credit for."
"The past week has practically demonstrated multiple concepts that will make me do my job better and more importantly, empower others."
"I appreciate the different types of personalities and outstanding individual characters that were displayed while we were here."
National School of Recreational Sports Management: Level I
Next offering: TBA • 2012
The interactive National School of Recreational Sports Management provides a broad range of material designed to enhance a new professional's management and problem-solving skills. Experienced recreational sports faculty members develop the course curriculum, design the program schedule, and lead sessions that provide participants with opportunities to practice, discuss, and refine the professional skills necessary for success.
Who Should Attend Level I?
The Level I experience is designed for recreation professionals with one to five years of full-time work experience. The full-time experience does not need to be in recreational sports. Those who have more experience in the field may attend, but must understand that the sessions are geared to their less-experienced colleagues.
