His name is Cody Logan, and he is 21 years old, getting his bachelor&#8217;s in exercise science from Cal State Bakersfield. I asked him what he wanted to do with his degree; he said, \u201cI want to work in the field of running which is my passion.\u201d He talked about why he joined the PEAK program and why he enjoys it. \u201cIt gives us opportunity to learn stuff that you don\u2019t think about with exercise. You don\u2019t think about trajectory or biomechanics.\u201d He goes on to say, \u201cIt\u2019s nice to get your own focus whether it\u2019s exercise science, sports psychology or physical education.\u201d Cody explains that the CSUB PEAK program allows students to explore and find where their passion is in the world of sports and exercise. Cody encourages anyone who is passionate about sports or exercising to check out the PEAK program at Cal State Bakersfield. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MGMwTjIeQM0\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/MGMwTjIeQM0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;  &nbsp;  Students and lovers alike lined up, waiting for the alarm to sound, for the voice to say those fateful words \u201cReady, Set, GO!\u201d A voice on the microphone broke over the silence of over hundred eerily silent runners, the words were spoken, and off they went.
