If we really want to celebrate physical education
in our schools and sport programs in our communities, we all need
to take a few moments to reflect on the kinds experiences that
we are providing students.
We have to critically consider and examine our physical
education programs and what we are teaching our students
on a daily basis or reflect on the kinds of sporting activities
that we engage our children in.
Physical education programs that do not provide students
with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to lead healthy, active
lifestyles will not achieve the accolades that we all hope for.
Of even more consequence is that the students can be caught in
the trends of inactivity that threaten the youth of today.
Likewise, sport programs that do not foster life time
enjoyment and participation in sport, or only cater to a chosen
few will also do little for the vast majority of our children.
If we can all take a few minutes and consider our
practice perhaps we can become even better in what we do!
