Rate My Professor Rodd Strobe

Strobel's research interests encompass motor learning, investigating the processes by which individuals acquire, refine, and control motor skills. In recognition of his contributions, he was named a Distinguished Faculty Lecturer for the 2023-2024 academic year, presenting the lecture "The Oldest Profession in the World: What Coaching Can Teach Us About the Essence of Being Human." This thought-provoking talk, also delivered in the Department of Health and Physical Education's Colloquium & Lecture Series, draws on coaching experiences to explore fundamental insights into human performance, development, and interpersonal dynamics. Beyond teaching and scholarship, Strobel chairs the university's Ethics in Research Committee, guiding the ethical review and approval of all human subjects research. He supports student scholarship through involvement in conference presentations and professional development initiatives, such as events preparing graduates for careers in health and physical education fields.
