My whole life connected to Physical Education

 

Even though I grew up on a farm in little ole Honeyville, Utah does not mean that I spent most of my time playing with tractors or saying, "Ya'll". I have been surrounded by physical activity my entire life, as long as I can remember my dad has had season tickets to the Utah State University Basketball and Football games. So, my weekends were basically spent watching sports.  I grew up playing basketball, baseball, and football. I continued all three of those sports through high school and after that I went to college to play basketball for a Junior College. I am currently on an athletic scholarship for the men's basketball program.

It is easy to see that from the time I could walk I have been surrounded by balls, bats, gloves, hats, mitts, and anything related to sport. Because it has impacted my life so heavily, I am very passionate about being active and enjoying the lifestyle that I have enjoyed until now. I hope to instill the passion about sport and activity that I have into many young children and help battle the current "electronic child", the kids now are so enthralled with video games, computers, and iThis and iThat. 

I feel it is very important to let kids taste the opportunity to get involved with sports and let them decide whether they enjoy it.  There are so many different sports to choose from and I plan on giving them many different opportunities to learn them, not just the traditional sports but many others like, racquetball, golf, quad ball, bowling, etc... If we can make it so every student has many chances to be involved in activity and avoid the sedentary lifestyle, America as a whole will become a healthier place. 

Don't just take my word for it but listen to this fifth grader.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX68QBzu3Wg

Physical Education Motivation

Future students of class 2022 the time is now for you to sign up to take Physical Education classes here at Mount Lincoln Farmer High School. Why you ask? Five simple reasons...

Before taking my PE class....

1. P.E. is the only class in the school in which it is okay to yell during class.
2. You will be able to relieve stress in ways that are not possible in any other classroom.
3. You will learn good habits for losing weight and/or gaining muscle.
4. It is a great place to show off your skills to the secret crush you have in the classroom ;)
5. You have the chance to beat the teacher at any sport of your choice! 

 

Notice the change in stature after my PE class!

 Just by looking at these two pictures it is easy to see how PE is so important in our lives and everything we do.  We do not realized how many people are becoming more and more like the 1st picture on this blog, but we know that an easy way to prevent that is to sign up now!

Here is a link to a video that shows what will NOT be doing in my PE class.

We have an awesome PE program in which you the student become the teacher for a week. You will be paired up with one or two other people and you will come up with your own game that you will then teach the class and we will play it!

Thanks for taking the time to look at this Blog about OUR future PE class!
