Reinventing the Game

OCTOBER 23, 2020

Some noteworthy situations arise recently. I was taking the last couple of lessons for my classes before exams start and the end of year activities take over. This is usually the point where a whole year’s of effort culminates and everyone sort of wind down from an intense academic calendar. My intention with the class is to allow some autonomy for the students and connecting it to a learning process where I get students to contemplate what they are doing and connecting it to the bigger picture

My son and I struggled so much during remote learning I have to put our health in danger. I don’t write that line lightly. Allow me to explain. This school year I am working remotely and my kids ages 10, 8, and 6 had the option to stay home or go to school. My wife and I made the decision to keep them home because we know schools are petri dishes for airborne diseases.

The American Heart Association, the CDC, and other groups consistently promote the importance of physical activities and the impact on students’ academic performance, behavior, emotional balance, and overall well-being. This is a fact you know very well. Before the pandemic, 81% of students received their daily dose of physical activities during PE 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.

Concept based learning and thematic curriculum for physical education have been suggested for reconceptualisation of PE curricula that is more educatively focused and strengths-based. In an early 2020 blog available here I summarised how concept based learning attempts to foreground a 'three-dimensional' PE curriculum composed of concepts (understanding), knowledge (knowing), and skills (doing).

Coaching 1v1 situations is a key part of player development. It allows us to coach a broad range of skills and moments of the game, enables kids to develop attributes that will benefit them as they progress to larger-sided games, and is beneficial for players of all ages and abilities. Here, we examine the value of 1v1s in player development and consider how to incorporate them in our sessions.

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.

A good starting point for pedagogical thinking in sport and physical education is Judith Rink's (2006) criteria for a learning experience in Teaching Physical Education : 1. The learning experience must have the potential to improve the motor performance skills of students 2. Learning activities must provide maximal activity or practice time for all students 3.

Let’s all be honest. Parenting is full of opportunities for failure. Every parent fails at one time or another. Every parent–some more frequently than others– regrets their behavior or wishes they could take back their words. Every parent makes a choice or moves in a direction that ultimately ends in them feeling like they’ve fallen.

It was nice to be invited to write a chapter for Light and Harvey's latest instalment of the Positive Pedagogy interpretation of Game Game Sense coaching. In 1994, I commenced a Level 2 Australian football (AFL) coaching course during which, the concept of coaching game sense was introduced to me in a meaningful way through the work of Rick Charlesworth, and his concept of ‘ designer games ’ (Charlesworth, 1994).
