Goals

• Get kids moving

• Lifetime Activity

Get Kids Moving

• In K-12 Physical Education programs, the main focus is to get kids moving.

• 95% of the time they spend in class they should be physically active.

• Great channel for energized kids to exert energy.

Lifetime Activity

• A way to get kids to enjoy physical activity is to teach them a lifetime activity.

• This could be a team or individual sport.• If a child finds an activity they enjoy, they are

more likely to continue this activity as an adult.

Increase Health

Why I chose Physical Education

• Kids

• Interest

• Active

Kids

I enjoy working with kids of all ages. I currently coach football at the 9th grade level. I receive great joy when I can teach them something, see them learn it, and apply it to their life.

Interest

I am interested in all of the components of Physical Education.

Active

I am an active person. I enjoy being active whenever I can. I like to play both individual and team sports. I also enjoy playing games than involve me to be active.
