Hey #physed, read this. Then read it again and replace the words coach with teach and athlete with student.
This book continues to stretch my ways of thinking, and undoubtedly future teaching. So pumped to tie what I learn from this book with Meaningful PE waiting on deck!
Coaching the younger ages.
1. Coach the child, not the sport.
2. Coach the movement, not the skill.
3. Coach for play, not the result.
4. Coach for long-term development, not short-term success
5. Coach for all abilities, not a select few
6. Coach with a smile, not a frown
We did it! Another fun year of field day with grades 1-5! The smiles and sportsmanship our students showed made us so proud to be teaching PE @SweeneyElem
Our amazing 1st graders had their first ever field day, thank you parents for coming! Proud of all the 1st graders for showing off their sportsmanship! @trudles4@SweeneyElem
Another fun dance recital for my daughter Addison- proud mom but also a proud teacher as I get to see so many students dancing their hearts out and hang with them backstage! And they all cheer each other on- but seeing them on stage especially older former students is magic!
