Reinventing the Game
OCTOBER 9, 2021
Recently, few perennial issues were discussed, mentioned, lamented, etc. concerning Physical Education (PE) and the way we deal with it, in my learning space. The mention of such points may get you going as a teacher or result in a large sigh of exasperation that there are always folks trying to intellectualise the field of PE when it should be dead simple.

The inclination to question is not common - looking back, most of us would admit that we uncritically accepted what we were taught. There is a general assumption that authority figures know what they are doing, so it may not necessarily occur to us that the consensus view that is espoused might be flawed or even untrue. Yet it is always worth allowing for the possibility that the prevailing view may not necessarily have a sound basis or at least might be missing something important.

It’s often hard to tell how much we’re affecting our players. Judging our level of impact can be subjective, and the extent to which we positively influence our players may not be apparent until further along in their sporting journey. Player retention can be a helpful indicator; if the kids come back happy every week, we’re off to a good start. But there are additional ways we can consider our impact and strive to give our players the best possible experience while playing youth soccer.

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.
Growing Healthy Kids

"The diet, to be healthy, has to be mostly fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and seeds." --Dr. Joel Fuhrman There has always been a bit of a “living on the wild side” feeling when I create recipes using my favorite seeds: pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, hemp, and flax. Weird, I know. Adding seeds to your favorite recipes can really kick things up a notch.

Tactics are an important part of football. But how prominent should they be in our coaching when we’re working with younger players? As coaches, it’s sometimes easy to focus too heavily on tactics, perhaps at the expense of other crucial areas of development for the kids we’re working with. In this article, we consider when to include a tactical focus in our coaching, the importance of not overloading our players, and how to encourage tactical awareness while developing independent decision-make

Learning Through Sport
OCTOBER 10, 2021
In a previous blog (available here ) I considered the idea of meaningful understanding of sport using a game based approach. In this blog, I explore the concept of meaningful sport further. Sport is a highly valued social activity. It is a cultural activity forming part of the ‘imagined' cultural identities in many countries, none more so than Australia (Anderson, 1991).

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.

The “Why” of World Mental Health Day, October 10, 2021 is to raise awareness and to mobilize efforts to support mental health and the millions of people, young and old, affected. Through sport, not only do we have the methods to physically tend to mental health struggles and to improve our personal bio-chemistry, we also have sport as the most dynamic vehicle to support, address and make aware the subject of mental health.

The security of student health data is always top of mind for private schools. They need to store important, often confidential, personal student information such as health records, emergency contacts, and more. While data security has always been a concern, with the advent of the pandemic more than ever, there is a need for academic institutions to be proactive and more intentional about protecting important student information.
