Course Description

Senior Instructor

Bob Cochrane

I have been teaching at Tri-C for 15+ years and achieved tenure. I am the Metro Campus Faculty Coordinator for our new Sport & Exercise Studies Degree Program and a member of the P.E. faculty at Metro.I attended Lakewood High School and received my undergraduate degree from Bowling Green State University, majoring in Health Education. I then went to the University of Arizona to complete my graduate degree in Physical Education with a specialty in Athletic Training. I was a certified athletic trainer for 21+ years. I was the first Certified Athletic Trainer at St. Ambrose College in Davenport, IA. I then moved on to a Division 1 job at Northern Illinois University where I served as the Assistant Athletic Trainer for 3 years and then served as the Head Athletic Trainer for 3 years. During my tenure at Northern Illinois University, I served as the chair of the P.A.W.S. Program, (Providing Athletes With Support.) This initiative was a wellness program focused on the well-being of our intercollegiate student-athletes. Following my stay at NIU, I decided the travel was too much and the pay was too low, so I moved back to the Cleveland area to continue my work as an athletic trainer. I worked at Hawken School and Bay Village H.S. and headed up the athletic trainer outreach program for SportsHealth at Lutheran Hospital. I was on the hospital employee health and wellness committee and oversaw the day-to-day operations of our center in addition to my athletic trainer responsibilities. Following a change of ownership at the hospital, I began my career at CCC.Most importantly, I live south of Cleveland in Summit County with my wife (Robin) and stepson (Corbin's biological dad died when Corb's was 3.) Corbin will be 28 in August and has a genetic disorder known as Angelman syndrome. AS is a deletion in the 15th chromosome. If you were to meet "Corbs", you might think he had autism or cerebral palsy. He cannot talk, he is prone to seizures (controlled now with meds), sleep disorders, developmental and physically delayed, LOVES WATER!!! and always has a smile on his face. Corbin went to prom two years ago, graduated from Stow High School and made us the proudest parents on earth. He is now in an adult day program and loves it! He will live with us for the rest of our lives because he requires assistance with all daily duties. Robin and I started a not-for-profit organization 12 years ago to benefit other "Angel" families in the area.
