I was catching up recently with a good friend and former colleague about life amid the happenings in the world, and we got on the topic of physical education in the fall and what that might look like. As longtime passionate physical educators, we brainstormed and discussed openly the thought of kids coming back to school and what that might look like in physical education.

The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Coaching soccer can be complex. It requires knowledge, preparation, open-mindedness, willingness to learn, and, perhaps most importantly, an ability to understand, relate to, and work with people.

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.
