Drowning in the Shallow

There is increasing political recognition of the importance of physical literacy (PL) in England. It was a critical principle underpinning UK Parliament’s (2021) recent proposal for a ‘national plan for sport, health and wellbeing‘ and the government’s response agreed that it should be an essential focus for physical education (PE) and school sport (DCMS, 2022).

I was tagged in this Tweet and when I read the content, my heart rate soared and my mind raced. A school nurse was asked by a parent at her elementary school’s open house if she was trained to respond to COVID, Monkeypox, and an active shooter. I sent the nurse a message to see if she would share her response. In the meantime, I am posting this valid question from the parent.

I’ve heard many reasons for injury in my 25 years of coaching. Some were beauties, but the one I heard this week is the best ever. One of my sprinters has been nursing a sore hamstring. When I asked him how he had strained the muscle, his response was that he was playing hockey…video game hockey! That’s right, he pulled a muscle playing a video game.

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.

It is a real sinking feeling when a PE teacher attends a fixture and their squad is perceived as scruffy or ill-matching in terms of their kit. Having worked in six different state schools and colleges in the UK, I have experienced this many times. Heads of PE face many, many pressures on their annual budgets. Physical education budget management can often feel like trying to stem a flood.

I was not able to identify the name of the comic artist. If anyone knows, please let me know and I will credit them. . The theme of the summer was setting boundaries. As I had some space from the COVID chaos of the past three school years (yes, we are entering year #4), I felt a sense of peace and calm that replaced the frenzy and frustration. The notion of no longer tolerating intolerable working conditions has become my personal mantra that I share with as many colleagues as will listen.

The annual Christmas party is a favorite tradition among my track athletes and coaches. Every year around this time we get together at our house for a potluck supper and other festivities, including the showing of race videos, a slide show put to music, annual awards presentations, and finally, a cutthroat Kris Kringle. So, last night we held my university team’s Christmas party.

The last few years have seen a sharp increase in mental health issues for teenagers. As students return to school for the new year, it’s important for school nurses and health staff to familiarize themselves with this topic. We recently spoke with D&G Wellness Consulting to learn how nurses can better prepare for back-to-school season and care for their students year-round.

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 most dangerous aspect of coaching is travel. School teams are frequently transported by van, often with the coach at the wheel. I’ve been that driver/coach dozens of times, and it can be risky business. Coaches experience an adrenaline crash after competition and must often fight fatigue at the wheel. And being the captain of a vehicle containing other people’s children is an incredible responsibility.

One of the reasons I enjoy sport is that it puts people put into situations of great stress…we then get to observe how they handle the pressure. I experienced a great example of that this weekend, in the NFL playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks. As a graduate of the U. of Wisconsin, I’m a Packer fan, so I was watching this game with great interest.

All of our students finally come back after Labor Day. That means fall sports season is right around the corner. Last year, we brought back a limited version of cross country, our first sport coming back from Covid. It was pretty safe since we were always outside and didn’t race against any other schools. It was essentially a running club, but overcoming the inertia of not having any sports was essential.

I had a discussion the other day about “Which is more fun to watch, the Canadian football league or the NFL?” My own opinion is that, while I usually watch the NFL, I think CFL games are more fun to watch. I was in the minority, with the consensus opinion being that the NFL has better players, so it must be more fun to watch. The discussion went something like this: “Why is the NFL better?”.

On the “GO” signal, the “BLOB” will travel around the gym chasing the other students. When a student is tagged, they join the “BLOB.” When the “BLOB” reaches 4 students, two students leave the “BLOB” and become a new “BLOB” by grabbing their own hula hoop and tagging noodles.
