Creating Positive PE!
This section is dedicated to creating the most positive, engaging, and student-based learning Health and Physical Education! The clock is ticking and our country needs to attack the obesity, cancer, and heart disease epidemic NOW! We are the last resort towards turning things around and it is our job/purpose to provide our students with PE that fights back.

The Next Time...
I saw something on a bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar that really connected with me. The phrases, "Pioneer Health Crusader" and "Life Extension Specialist" are so confident and powerful. The Bragg team had vision, purpose, and I would venture to say a lot of fun. I admire that and they certainly made a long-lasting impact on me with their product and their perspective on life!
The way you view yourself and the world is one of the most important things we can control. What we think and what we say start to become who we are. I have been asked what I do many times and my response not only empowers me, but it recharges my overall purpose in this world. I strongly recommend giving it a try! The reality is you have 3 responses to that question.
1. I Teach Gym. (The gym is where you teach, not what you teach. I do understand that it is what kids, parents, and teachers repeatedly call it so it makes sense why it is said)
2. I Teach Physical Education (Now we are starting to show pride and value in what we do and rising ourselves up)
3. I AM a Life Extension Specialist (Wow, what a response! If we know for a fact that exercise increases quality/quantity of life, why not?)
The next time someone asks you what you do for a living you try #3! It will make you feel like a superhero and you will get a rush of empowerment!
