>> My passion in kinesiology stems from being a young athlete and wanting to be able
00:12
to be bigger, faster, stronger to be able to perform better, and along the way,
00:18
during that road, I would have certain injuries.
00:21
So, I wanted to figure out how do I prevent these injuries,
00:24
how do I recover from these injuries.
00:27
So, that's where my passion stemmed from.
00:29
I teach a variety of classes in the exercise science curriculum, primarily,
00:33
ranging from Sports Nutrition, Prevention and Treatment of Athletic Injuries,
00:37
all the way to one of our field experience classes.
00:42
The ability to be able to inspire young minds and be able to help them become professionals
00:48
in their field was something that's always been very intriguing to me.
00:51
I love giving them the educational opportunities with a practical application
00:56
so they can be good working professionals.
00:59
My doctorate is in Athletic Training, so I do a lot of the sports medicine related courses,
01:04
but I'm also a sports nutritionist, so I do sports nutrition as well,
01:08
and a lot of my research is dedicated to the areas of sports nutrition,
01:12
performance enhancement, and sports medicine.
01:15
The impact that food has on our body, not only to promote health but also
01:19
to change our appearance, not only internally but also externally as well.
01:25
Because I spent so many years in the field, I incorporate my area of expertise
01:30
by bringing real life scenarios, real life patient care, real life clients that I've worked
01:36
with and really try to bridge the gap between what's being preached in the classroom
01:41
and the research and practical applications and real world problems that you may run into.
01:48
Over the last, I would say, five to ten years, we have hired some amazing faculty members
01:55
that are very diverse and are actually very active in the field of kinesiology,
02:00
not only in their publications, but also in their presentations.
02:04
That being said, we've been able to incorporate and bring along a lot
02:09
of our students to be part of our research.
02:11
Now, when we go to different conferences, people are taking note
02:16
of CSUSB, and they recognize our campus.
02:19
A lot of our faculty members actually speak at national, regional,
02:24
and international conferences, which says a lot when you're asked to speak
02:29
at large conferences and CSUSB is represented.
02:33
My name is Guillermo Escalante.
02:36
I love CSUSB, and I'm a Coyote for life.
