Well, it’s the morning of Christmas eve and, while it’s too late to write Santa, I do have some Christmas wishes related to sport. This Christmas, I wish: …For two new hamstrings to be left in my Xmas stocking. My old ones are broken. …That NFL quarterback great, Brett Favre, would finally admit that his name should be pronounced “Favréy” not “Farve.” …That they’d get rid of the offside rule in soccer.

by: Aaron Hart. OPENPhysEd.org. I’ve spent much of my career working with and talking to hundreds of physical educators around the United States. As a result, I’ve collected some important words of wisdom over the years. Most of those gems focus on the importance of building a network of support with parents and like-minded colleagues. For many physical educators, parents come into our classrooms with deeply held preconceptions – both good and bad.

October is one of the most exciting months of the school year for our students. Without a doubt, on October 1st, students will ask, “Are we going play any Halloween games today?” Although we’ll sprinkle a few Halloween-themed games into a lesson the first.

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.

Some of the National Football League games this weekend were conducted in blizzard conditions – it was exceptionally enjoyable watching them from in front of my fireplace on my LazyBoy chair. In the Buffalo versus Cleveland snow-bowl, you’d see the players complete their series of downs in the driving winds and ankle-deep snow, then head for the sidelines and their blankets and heaters.

Jim Morris on Stage at a Speaking Engagement. I watched a baseball movie this weekend called “The Rookie.” It was about Jim Morris, a former minor league pitcher who had retired due to a series of arm injuries to become a high school science teacher and coach in small-town Texas. After losing a bet with his baseball team, he was obliged to attend a major league pitching tryout and found that his fastball, only 86 miles per hour when he was 20, had mysteriously improved to 98 miles per hour.

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.

Think Globally, Nurture Locally. It has been deeply encouraging to see the enormous cultural shift in acknowledging the importance of mental health continue, to start to see the shedding of its stigma and to be publicly embraced outside of the medical community in the last decade. For too long, the fear of social and professional implications has prevented individuals who suffer from major disruptions to their lives and well-being stemming from mental health matters from seeking care.
