If you were to travel across the United States asking schools how they approach health education, you’d get a VERY wide range of responses. Some schools avoid the topic altogether. Some stress strict “Just Say No”-style messages. Others use a more comprehensive approach, emphasizing skills and decision making in class. Some schools even host teen clinics right on campus.

The whirlwind of SHAPENJ’s 103rdconference is over for me. It started early on Super Bowl Sunday. A handful of dedicated people showed up before the convention in order to get the registration booth organized, set up the convention hall, and do the other million things that need to be done at the last minute. Once this was done we were able to breathe and get ready for the Super Bowl!

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.

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.

During the pandemic, self-care took on a new role of importance. Pre-pandemic, self-care was seen as a new-wave hippy mantra that productive people didn’t have time for. Slowly, this idea of self-care has transformed from a joke into an essential. Speaking of essential, while society was championing the self-care revolution, the burden placed on essential workers made it virtually impossible for their self-care.

One of these characters is your biggest fan – it is supportive, loving, optimistic, and resilient. This is your inner Champ. The other is more sinister – it is pessimistic, fearful, and actively tries to keep you from your potential.

Ball mastery is a fundamental part of skill acquisition and football development. The skills and attributes children learn and hone during this part of their footballing journey lay the foundations for more complex team-based and tactical learnings later on. A ball mastery session gives players the confidence to experiment with the ball and enjoy playing — hopefully providing the basis for a lifetime of participation in the sport.
