Jack Martin and David Cox The Big Idea It is rare in conventional social psychological research on sport to consider public testimony as a source of truths. And yet, this is exactly what this study does. These authors pursue what they call a “portrait of possibility.” The subject—the only subject—is the early life of one heck of a basketball player: the Canadian Steve Nash (b. 1974) who played 18 years in the NBA (National Basketball Association), nearly half of those years an NBA All-Star and.

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.

In this PDP Live Session, FFA Coach Developer and Academy Coach, Anthony Frost demonstrates a small sided game where players have to find solutions to various tasks. Anthony cleverly uses planned interventions to set tactical and technical challenges for the players to work on collectively in a 5 v 5 + 1 small sided game. This is a great example of how coaches can encourage decision making and team work within the game, as well as observing adaptability of the players, knowing when to guide.

When I use to hear the word curriculum my first thought was “boring.” My second thought was “useless department lingo” i.e. jargon. Maybe teacher old age has crept up on me and I myself am getting boring… or maybe I’m just getting wiser!

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.
