Isaac Diaz, age 18, was tired of epilepsy and cerebral palsy ruling his life. The thoughtful, gentle, yet self-determined teen simply wanted to do what teens do—be independent, get a job, play sports, and, most important, learn how to drive. “I just wanted to do things without having to worry that a seizure was going to ruin it,” says Isaac.

I’m an old guy…at least that’s what my kids say…so it’s difficult to think back all the way to the late 1970s and early 1980s when I was enrolled in P.E. class.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Reader,​​ If you’ve followed PDP for a while, you’ll know we have constantly tried to shine a light on the dangers of premature professionalism, discussing topics like specialisation, talent identification, growth and maturation, sports psychology, relative age effect and how to develop high quality environments for children. ​Player development is a complex melting pot and at times, youth football can get all too serious too soon.​As the world-game continues to grow and the amount and.
