Let’s start by accepting that students can’t separate how they feel about their teacher and physical education. If they don’t like PE, they probably don’t have a positive feeling toward their teacher and vice versa.

The big assumption I made here (not the best assumption for a holistic picture of PE but adequate for what I want to share here) is that skill acquisition is a big part of our job as PE teachers and it is necessary for us to think about it in order to do better.
