Motor Development and LearningThis course is an introduction to the theories of motor learning and skills acquisition.

Therapeutic Modalities in Athletic TrainingThis course teaches the scientific theories underlying, and the proper application of therapeutic modalities commonly used in athletic training.

Coaching Team SportsIn this course, students will gain an in-depth understanding of rules and strategies of a variety of sports. They not only gain the technical knowledge, but also learn from guest speakers who discuss the practical aspects and challenges of coaching. Students are thus better prepared for many of the challenges that await them as they begin their careers.

The Kinesiology program prepares students to care for people in a wide variety of ways. Whether pursuing physical therapy school or a career in coaching, students learn in hands-on environments with small classes to facilitate deeper learning of the material.

Students gain hands-on experience through internship opportunities with Austin-area professional sports teams, physical therapy clinics and local high schools. They take classes such as Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Biomechanics, which teaches students an intricate understanding of the human body. Students participate in a variety of labs in which they practice on classmates as they would in physical therapy or athletic training settings. Guest speakers frequent classes within the Kinesiology major, discussing the practical aspects and challenges of their careers to help prepare students for real-world experience.

I am the head basketball coach at Cedar Ridge High School. I also teach Physical Education Courses there.

Concordia University’s Kinesiology program set the foundation toward everything that I am achieving now. The small class settings and the ability to develop a one-on-one relationship with my professors instilled confidence in me by helping me to understand what it takes to be successful in life.” - QUINTON BL ACK, ‘09
