As the wellness manager for my school district, one of my job responsibilities includes implementing the Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) in our schools — essentially, making the school day more active. Like most health and physical educators, I know that physical activity is integral to student success. It supports students’ academic achievement, mental health and overall well-being.

Read another powerful message from the OpEd Nurses, Donna Gaffney and Teri Mills, that was just published in USA Today. It delivers a stark warning: more than 13 million American children are going hungry, and recent political decisions are making the crisis worse. In a nation defined by abundance, it is unconscionable that nearly one in five children faces daily hunger.

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.

If someone asked you what a positive and inclusive PE culture looked like, what would be your answer? As a middle school physical education teacher, my goal is for all students to have a place where they feel valued, supported and motivated to participate. If you walked into my gym, I would want you to see students of all backgrounds and ability levels working side by side — encouraging one another, building skills and facing challenges as a team.

This Is a Health Emergency—Not Just a Policy Debate As school nurses, we see what happens when a child can’t catch their breath—and we’re not speaking in metaphors. We witness the panic in a student’s eyes during an asthma attack. We hear the wheezing that interrupts play, learning, and laughter. We talk with families who are unsure how to manage multiple inhalers that have been prescribed, but not necessarily explained.

A Positive Approach To Teen Health

JULY 28, 2025

“Do you need a minute?” I asked my daughter. I saw she was upset and on the verge of tears. She struggled to articulate her problem and the emotions it evoked. “Yes.” Her shoulders relaxed, and the tears flowed. I put my arm around her and waited quietly. I knew from experience that sitting with her while she cried would help her work through her emotions and communicate more effectively.

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.

Creating a great strength and conditioning program template takes more than just jotting down sets and reps on a spreadsheet. Coaches need tools that help them plan, deliver, and adapt workouts for a wide range of student-athletes. From beginners to seasoned students and athletes, every group deserves a plan that fits their needs. That’s why a good strength and conditioning program template should be more than static.

A while ago, I watched a brutal movie called The Norseman. It followed the journey of a Viking who went from prince to slave, ultimately confronting his father's killer in an epic final showdown. The movie did not hold back on the blood and gore, but it also seemed like they did their research when it came to Viking life. Of course, there were exaggerations, but a lot of the movie was grounded in historical accounts.
