As a 10th-grade student and athlete who loved playing sports, I knew I wanted to go to university to be a physical education teacher. I was excited to coach and work with athletes and introduce a variety of fun, high-energy activities that I thought students would enjoy as much as I did.As I went through my formal training, I soon discovered that a physical education teacher isn’t there just to train and inspire athletes; teaching a quality physical education program is about inspiring every child. By the time I finished my degrees in kinesiology and education, I knew I wanted to teach in ways that would positively impact every student—and inspire a love for movement along the way.
