October is Health Literacy Month. SHAPE America defines health literacy as, “…the ability to access, understand, appraise, apply and advocate for health information and services in order to maintain or enhance one’s own health and the health of others.” As health educators, it is important to teach our students to be health literate. Health-literate students can understand how their decisions affect their health and well-being and the health and well-being of those around them.

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.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

What began as a platform for the elite athletes to hone their skills has evolved into a vast network of teams and tournaments available to almost any youth who can afford the team fees. While the sport provides opportunities for exposure and development, it also poses challenges to athletes, coaches, parents, and local high school sports.
