<\/a><\/p>\nFor the next part of the presentation I gave them a look into what they will see in the future\u2026 and some of the experiences that I have experienced over the last 15 years teaching and coaching around the world\u2026<\/p>\n
Obesity\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n
Obesity is reaching pandemic levels all around the world\u2026 It is one of today\u2019s most blatantly visible public health problems\u2026 BUT what are we going to do about it\u2026?!<\/p>\n Physical Education teachers have one of the most influential responsibilities in a child\u2019s life and can lay the foundations for a very happy and prosperous life. They can either turn on a pupil to a life of long-term exercise or they can turn off a pupil from doing any form of exercise in the future. Physical Education teachers have the potential to be great role models, lead by example and empower the students to take ownership of their lives so that once they have left the 4 walls of the school boundary they know where they are heading\u2026 how they are going to get there\u2026 and what to eat\u2026 when to exercise\u2026 and why they need to drink water\u2026<\/p>\n Modern Day kids\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n The world has changed\u2026 This is a typical sight of a Modern Day Kid during break times and lunchtimes\u2026 when there\u2019s plenty of space outside to play in\u2026<\/p>\n Therefore, in your Physical Education lessons how are you going to make up for the lack of \u2018free play\u2019 that we used to do when we were younger\u2026?<\/p>\n The local community\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n Going outside of your \u201ccomfort zone\u201d to visit local communities will create very rewarding and gratifying experiences\u2026 They will help you to appreciate the finer things in life\u2026 They will help you to share your knowledge and experience with people that really appreciate the time and effort you give up to them\u2026 It will challenge your communication of coaching and your language of the sport\u2026<\/p>\n Overhead Squats\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n These boys are the same age\u2026 in the same class\u2026 in the same house\/colour\u2026 but one can squat and the other can\u2019t squat.<\/p>\n How are you going to differentiate activities\/exercises for these 2 pupils in your lessons\u2026?!<\/p>\n Parents\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n The types of parents that you see creeping inside the field of play\u2026 The ones that are screaming from the sideline\u2026 The ones complaining about the referee\u2026 are quite often the ones that will be on your case when it comes to complaining about why their son and\/or daughter got poor grades at parents\u2019 evenings.<\/p>\n Player Development\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n You will experience opportunities to mentor\u2026 develop\u2026 train\u2026 teach\u2026 coach\u2026 people to help them achieve their goals\u2026 and fulfil their potential\u2026<\/p>\n Mixed ability groups\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n How are you going to construct your Practice Design to cater for the range of abilities that are within you groups\u2026? What are you going to do to include rather than exclude people\u2026? Every pupil deserves the same experience\u2026 the same amount of attention\u2026 the same amount of encouragement\u2026 the same opportunities\u2026 How are you going to utilise the \u201cbetter\u201d players to help the \u201cweaker\u201d players\u2026?<\/p>\n Snow on astro\/field\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n With the varying effects of the random weather that we experience in the UK\u2026 what will you do when the fields are waterlogged or the astro is frozen\u2026?!<\/p>\n Will you do what everyone else usually does and just put on a movie for the pupils to watch\u2026?! If you have to take your players to a classroom at least put on something related to the sport that you are coaching. How could you make it a learning experience\u2026? How could you help improve their Games Understanding\u2026? What about developing their understanding of what each position in the team does in Attack and in Defence\u2026?<\/p>\n Why not create a timetable to maximise the use of the Sports Hall for different groups\u2026? Why not find a space outside where you can do some Fundamental Movement Skills with your players\u2026? If a classroom is your only space then clear all the desks and chairs to the side to create a space to do some Athletic Development in\u2026<\/p>\n Travel the world\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n If you are fortunate enough to be part of tours or to organise them\u2026 You have amazing opportunities to travel to places around the world that you might not necessarily visit in your life\u2026 and share life changing experiences with your players\u2026<\/p>\n Frosby Flop at 8 years old\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n You will see pupils that CAN DO things that you have never taught them before\u2026 so what are you going to do to develop this pupil at this age\u2026?!<\/p>\n Federer serve at 5 years old\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n You will see pupils that CAN DO things that you would never have imagined\u2026 so how are you going to nurture this pupil throughout his school years\u2026?!<\/p>\n Visiting other schools\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n You will have opportunities where you will be able to visit other schools\u2026<\/p>\n I was very fortunate when the Director of Sport at Brisbane GS invited me over to Australia while I was in Chile to do some work for them observing their Rugby programme\u2026<\/p>\n At the same time I took it upon myself to create opportunities for myself to learn from different sports and coaches\u2026 I woke up mega early one morning to observe Emily Seebohm (WR holder in the 100m Backstroke) train at 5:30am with her coach in the pool 4 weeks before the Rio Olympics\u2026 Her coach, David Lush, then invited me to breakfast where I asked him what he did to create the culture within the Swimming Club\u2026 I arranged a visit to the Brisbane Broncos (a professional Rugby League team in the NRL) to watch them train\u2026 I set up a meeting with the Head of Gymnastics and Australia\u2019s most successful Olympic gymnast to pick their brains about how they develop the culture within their Gymnastics club having witnessed it first hand on the gym floor on different days in the morning at 6am and in the evening at 6pm\u2026<\/p>\n PHV\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n Many people may well view the Peak Height Velocity graphs as just a theory\u2026 something that\u00a0 you read in textbooks\u2026 and that they will not come across this\u2026 I can assure you it is very well alive and kicking\u2026<\/p>\n The two boys in the photo are born 4 weeks apart in Chronological Age\u2026 but in reality they are 4 years apart in Biological Age\u2026 So how are you going to cater for these differences in your lessons and sessions\u2026?!<\/p>\n Develop relationships\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n You will develop, to varying degrees, relationships, at different rates, with your students within lessons\u2026 and around school\u2026 Investing in these relationships are one of the many rewards of being a teacher. Some relationships will continue to grow once they have left school\u2026<\/p>\n PCA\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n You will find kids can\u2019t do a push up\u2026 Kids can\u2019t land\u2026 Kids can\u2019t do Handstands\u2026 Kids aren’t able to do lots of Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS)\u2026<\/p>\n The severe lack of FMS and Athletic Development is well and truly visible in Modern Day Kids\u2026 So what you are going to do to redress the issues of the effects of modern society\u2019s obsession with Social Media and kids being glued to their phones\u2026?! Kids staying indoors all the time playing on their PlayStations\u2026?! The lack of free play in parks, playgrounds and fields\u2026?! If the kids aren\u2019t going to learn implicitly these FMS\u2026 then we need to bring FMS to them\u2026 on a daily\u2026 weekly\u2026 monthly\u2026 yearly basis\u2026 as they are the foundations of a active, healthy life\u2026<\/p>\n Identical Twins\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
