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.

It is widely recognized that food can positively impact mood due to its cultural, nostalgic, or traditional significance. However, the body's blood glucose response also plays a crucial role in how food affects a person's mood.

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.

Whether it’s the ability to tell (and sell) a story for a performance outcome, to bring the group together, or the skill of connecting with kids through child friendly language, communication is key.​In any session, coaches will make mistakes just like players.
