Sports injury prevention course ideological and political education

The ideological and political core of sports injury prevention courses has never been the indoctrination of principles separated from professional skills, but the natural integration of value cores such as awareness of rules, responsibility, and humanistic care into the full-process teaching of injury assessment, prevention plan design, and emergency response, and ultimately cultivate sports health service providers with "excellent skills and warmth in their hearts." This is the most practical direction under current industry consensus.

When I first took this course, my understanding of this sentence was still limited to the "ideological and political point marking" in the lesson plan, until I encountered the practical class in Weijiao last year. At that time, the group was practicing cross-step basketball during a team competition. One boy was lazy and did not do the dynamic activation of the ankle joint that was taught before. After running for two rounds, he sprained his feet and sat on the ground. The classmates around him laughed and said that his "sense of balance is not as good as that of an elementary school student." While I was squatting down to give him a cold compress, I asked everyone casually: "If you become a children's physical fitness coach in the future, and the children you care for run and jump and sprain their feet, will your first reaction be to laugh? ”The noisy classroom fell silent instantly. In the follow-up class that day, I did not follow the lesson plan to explain the essentials of ankle stabilization training. I first showed everyone the competition record of the youth group of the Provincial Games last year: a 16-year-old small forward found it troublesome to stretch dynamically before the game. He sprained his ankle and retired after three minutes of playing. The team's championship dream, which had been prepared for a year, was shattered. “You feel that laziness is your own fault now. In the future, when you lead a team or train students, your negligence may cost others months or even years of hard work. This is the most basic responsibility for yourself and others. ”Everyone memorized the essentials of the movements that day better than any previous class.

Interestingly, there are actually two different practical directions in the current ideological and political implementation of this course in the academic community. One is often referred to as the "embedded school", which believes that value points should be clearly anchored. For example, when talking about preparation activities, it adheres to the traditional cultural logic of "Everything is done beforehand, otherwise it will be ruined." When talking about the injury prevention case of the Olympic champion, it naturally extends to the dedication of family and country. The advantage is that the direction is clear, and students can clearly get the value orientation of the course. The other type is the "infiltration school", which believes that ideology and politics should be like salt dissolved in water. There is no need to deliberately mention any big principles. They take more students to the community to do injury screening for the elderly, to volunteer at children's fitness centers, and to provide logistical support for amateur events. In practice, they can naturally experience the bottom line and warmth of this profession. I prefer this method now, but I also admit that the time and energy requirements of teachers are very high, and not all colleges and universities have the conditions to implement it.

Of course, many colleagues do not agree with the addition of ideological and political content to this course. They feel that sports injury prevention is a purely technical course. It is better to spend time on talking about responsibility and feelings. It is better to teach two more pulling techniques. I used to agree with this statement, until I received a WeChat message from a former student last year. He was working in a commercial fitness studio and met a member who was doing deadlifts on his waist. His first reaction was not to be afraid of offending the member and losing his performance, but to go directly and stop it. He also made three rehabilitation adjustments for free. He said that during class, I casually mentioned, "In this business, you must first not harm people, and secondly, how much money you make." He still remembers it now. Do you think this sentence delayed him from learning technology, or did it help him use technology in the right place?

Last month, I took junior students to the community to screen retired people for sports injuries. A boy who usually sat in the back row in class squatted on the ground and rubbed the knees of an old man with knee arthritis for twenty minutes. Before leaving, he gave the old man a manual on knee joint maintenance for middle-aged and elderly people that he had stayed up late to compile, and said he could come to him anytime if he had any questions. I was watching from the side, and suddenly I thought, is there any standardized ideological and political curriculum template? The prevention of sports injuries is "prevention is better than cure", and the same goes for ideological and political education. It is not about waiting for students to have problems and then teaching them to be responsible and to have a bottom line. It is enough to quietly pass on the principles and the temperature they should have every time they correct their movements, every time they deal with small scratches, every time they are reminded to wear protective gear. After all, the students we teach will not face cold lesson plans in the future, but living people who will put the hope of sports and health into their hands.
