In Episode 36, I had the opportunity to sit down with Ben Shields. Ben is an exceptional Physical Educator that I have admired from afar for some time, so I was thrilled to have the chance to talk 'shop'. Ben has an incredible understanding of teaching PE as a result of working in a variety of schools in 4 different countries. He shares some fantastic insights into driving engagement through the use of themed units of work, introduces the idea of 'Assessment BINGO', and discusses how important 'connection before content' has been throughout his teaching journey. Be sure to grab yourself a notebook, or open a fresh 'notes' page on your phone, because I promise you, you will want to jot down notes throughout this episode.

The concept of literacy is not foreign to anyone. Indeed, we all realize the importance of the ability to read and write in terms functioning in the world. Lack of literacy is considered a societal tragedy that the developed world attempts to avoid at all costs. When basic literacy is lacked within an individual (or population) life closes in and gets very small, achievement is limited, and life lacks fulfillment and a sense of purpose. All consequences that should be avoided at all costs. Although we're all very familiar with the concept of academic literacy, physical literacy is a term that many of us might find confusing or odd at first glance. This is mostly because the term has been underutilized and to the detriment of our society and our health, as physical literacy researcher and advocate Dr. Anthony Moreno explains in episode 40 of the Wellness Paradox Podcast. Just as academic literacy involves learning the basic set of skills an individual can take into the rest of their life to be literate in reading and writing, physical literacy does that same thing, but in a physical domain. Instead of spelling, grammar, and reading comprehension, physical literacy focuses on the motor skills associated with physical movement. When someone develops and fosters these skills at a young age (really any age) and maintains them throughout the lifespan their opportunities to be healthy, fulfilled and engage with the world expand exponentially. At the same time their level of disease and illness decrease dramatically. The tragic and objective reality is we currently have a very physical illiterate society. Physical education classes are being phased out of schools and/or taught by unqualified staff. Youth sports are becoming increasingly competitive, where only the best athletes have the ability to play frequently. Over 75% of Americans DO NOT meet the current physical activity recommendations for aerobic and muscle strengthening exercise. No matter how you view it, our society is physically illiterate and becoming more so by the day as technology makes our lives more sedentary. Just as with academic literacy, when this happens; life closes in and gets very small, achievement is limited, and life lacks fulfillment and a sense of purpose, mostly driven by ill-health. There is a solution to a population-based approach to becoming more physically literate as a society and it starts with fitness pros and fitness clubs. The fitness industry and its professionals have the infrastructure, knowledge, and resources to implement many of the existing government guidance to improve physical activity levels and thereby physical literacy. In this podcast Dr. Moreno explores this concept further as well as actionable steps (pun intended) the health/fitness industry can take today to combat the physical literacy crisis in America. Our Guest: Dr. Anthony Moreno, PhDDr. Tony Moreno is a Professor of Kinesiology at Eastern Michigan University with focus in biomechanics, youth sport, and pediatric exercise science. He has authored educational materials regarding athlete development, physical literacy, performance enhancement, and injury prevention for the Michigan High School Athletic Association, USA Lacrosse, USA Ultimate, USA Hockey, the Society of Health and Physical Educators, and the National Strength and Conditioning Association. In addition, Professor Moreno is the proprietor of Atletika USA, a movement, physical activity, and sport programming consulting firm based in mid-Michigan. Professor Moreno holds graduate adjunct faculty positions at both Michigan State University and West Virginia University and was recently appointed to serve on both the Michigan Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Health, and Sports, on the Board of Directors for the Michigan Fitness Foundation, and on the Medical/Science Advisory Board for the Michigan Fitness Club Association. 

The 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing are underway and - as I write this - Norway is at the top of the medal standings. Again. Norway is a bit of an anomaly: it's a relatively small country at 5.3 million people (which ranks it #119 in the world based on population size), yet somehow it is an Olympic beast. Prior to the games in Beijing beginning, Norway had 368 medals at the Winter Olympic Games (132 gold, 125 silver, 111 bronze). That count ranks them in the number one spot in all-time medal winners at the Winter Olympics, ahead of the United States (305) and Germany (240). So what's going on here? What makes Norway so successful at the Olympics and what can we - as physical educators - take away from their approach? In this episode, I'll be breaking down Norway's philosophy of "The Joy Of Sport For All" and sharing what PE can take away from the nation's approach to create safer, friendlier, more meaningful experiences for our students.

In this episode where we invite current undergraduate and graduate teacher candidates in physical and health education from Canisius College who are completing their final semester of student-teaching this fall.In today's show we discuss the article entitled “The Socialization of Teachers in Physical Education: Review and Recommendations for Future Works” from the journal entitled Kinesiology Review.  The focus of today's show are the perspectives of teacher candidates regarding how they may be influenced by teacher socialization. Richards, K. A. R., Templin, T. J., & Graber, K. (2014). The Socialization of Teachers in Physical Education: Review and Recommendations for Future Works. Kinesiology Review, 3(2), 113–134. https://doi.org/10.1123/kr.2013-0006 

In this episode, I speak to triathlete and author Brock Gibbs. Brock is a 2 time Top 10 Finisher, in his Age Group, at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. Recently, Brock released My Coworkers Think I'm a Pro which provides a witty and entertaining account of how Brock got started in the sport of triathlon.During the day Brock is a Physical Educator teacher in Montreal, Canada. He was introduced to triathlon in his 40s. Growing up in Canada, Brock played hockey through school as well as football and baseball. He started running in college, even participating on his school's Cross Country team.I spend a few minutes complementing Brock on his book, specifically on his ability to paint a vivid picture with his words. Brock shares the story of how he met Lionel Sanders at an Ironman 70.3 early in both of their careers and he explains the metaphor that he uses for the times in your life when “bad stuff happens and you gotta to let it go.”While being very close in age and physical appearance, we talk about some similarities that we share and some of our differences. Brock gives some context into the cover photo for his book. After acknowledging that he has always been a “fast runner,” Brock talks about his 1st marathon; one in which he would qualify for the Boston Marathon. We talk about how Brock has always trained by feel as opposed to a structured pace and he shares how he has modified that over the years. He acknowledges that he no longer runs everyday and breaks down his approach to his two sessions per day training regimen.I ask him about his thoughts on triathlon being the only sport where an amateur can complete on the same course at the same time as the pros. We discuss our thoughts on why triathletes, even professional triathletes, are more approachable than in other sports. Brock even points out that you can pick up a good amount of race strategy while standing in line at the porta potty, pre-race.I get the opportunity to share some of my favorite quotes from Brock's book and there are a bunch in there. And Brock explains what prompted him to write the book and talks us through some of the process it took from initial though to publication.We spend a few minutes talking about some of the childhood stories that Brock included in the book. Growing up in a small town in the 1980s allowed he and his friends plenty of opportunity to do fun stuff. We agree that most of the time fun stuff means the same as dangerous stuff. That conversation transitions nicely into Brock sharing about his most recent mishap.During this year's Ironman 70.3 World Championship, Brock was involved in a single bike accident that would leave in with a compound fracture of his collar bone and broken pelvis. Rob acknowledges that this incident placed him in a situation where he was forced to accept help from others, something that he is not normally comfortable doing.After getting Brock to acknowledge is a fast runner, I ask him to rate his swim and bike performance. Brock recommends that seeking out specialized coaching if you're struggling with one particular discipline. And of course, we talk bikes. Brock shares he has future plans to ride a traditional road bike versus a TT bike due to certain advantages.If you haven't already, be sure to get your copy of Brock's book My Coworkers Think I'm A Pro.

I first heard of Megan Hale when she posted a YouTube video announcement about her upcoming YouTube Channel, Blind Physical Education, and new right away that Megan's passion and enthusiasm would be of interests to our many listeners. Megan wants to educate Physical Education teachers about the possibilities and available adaptive techniques so more BVI students can participate beyond the level of low expectations. Megan attended Camp Abilities and was given the opportunity and adaptive techniques for full participation in the sports along with other Blind and Visually Impaired attendees. This experience changed her perspective and now Megan is parsuinga career to change the perspectives of the Physical Educators and get the other Megan's out there off the bench and onto the playing field. Megan is working with Microsoft and the Soundscape App to create an outdoor experience with Trail orienteering. Learn more about, this and her goals in this educational episode from Blind Abilities and be sure to check out the latest from Megan's YouTube Channel Blind Physical Education.

Dr. Klara has been an Associate Professor in the Department of Exercise Science and Physical Education at Montclair State University for over 20 years. As a Hungarian native, Dr. Klara has experienced some of the toughest sports training tactics out there, which has created a wealth of confidence within her.  She has received state and district awards, which included the New Jersey Outstanding College Teacher of The Year award as well as the Eastern District Outstanding Professional Award. Dr. Klara will discuss how she is working with athletes and performers from MSU to reduce and eliminate performance anxiety within their respective fields.LinkedIn: Dr. Klara Gubacs-Collins Ed.D.Dr. Klara Gubacs-Collins Bio:Dr. Klara Gubacs-Collins is an Associate Professor in the Department of Exercise Science and Physical Education. She has been teaching at MSU for 15 years and responsible for teaching up to 20 different sports to physical education majors, as well as a variety of theoretical courses. As a member and now Chair of the Department Curriculum Committee she was responsible for reorganizing the games education curriculum based on the Teaching Games For Understanding model. Prior to teaching at the college level, Dr. Gubacs-Collins taught K-12 physical education in Budapest, Hungary. Dr. Gubacs-Collins has received state and district awards, which included the New Jersey Outstanding College Teacher of The Year award as well as the Eastern District Outstanding Professional Award. She has also served as President of the New Jersey State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (NJAHPERD). Dr. Gubacs-Collins' research has evolved through several phases. First, she has published articles and presented in several national and international conferences regarding the implementation of a Tactical Approach to Teaching Games in Physical Education, Sport Education and Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility. Within this area, most recently she developed the idea of a Socratic Gymnasium which is the combination of the above three methods in the teacher education setting. Her latest work has been published in The Physical Educator, one of the leading journals in the field of Physical Education Pedagogy.Most recently, based on over 25 years of teaching experience, Dr. Gubacs-Collins has changed her focus to understanding the potential negative factors that inhibit teachers from implementing change. Among such inhibiting factors she hypothesized that limiting beliefs developed through life and work place anxieties may be significant contributors to practitioners' lack of actual performance. This research has led Dr. Gubacs-Collins to the study of Meridian Based Therapies such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and to Kinesiology Muscle Testing. To advance her studies Dr. Gubacs-Collins has received several certificates in the above-mentioned areas and is using her knowledge of the past many years to develop a research line and course of study in the effectiveness of Meridian Based Therapies and Kinesiology Muscle Testing. In addition, Dr. Gubacs-Collins is working with athletes and performers from MSU to reduce and eliminate performance anxiety in their respective fields. She, herself, also loves to perform and play sports and many of the sports she teaches she played and/or coached on a competitive level at one time or another. Her latest achievement was to complete a feat of winning the Ridgewood Country Club Golf Championship, a became the champion of all sports offered in this club; this was a first in the club's history. She developed a blueprint for winning and to helps people in all areas of life at MSU become the “champion” they were meant to be.Make sure to subscribe & review Lady Empire above for the opportunity to be featured!

As H.E. Luccock once said “No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it”. Today's guest is a Professor of Physical Activity Education at Edge Hill University who has worked on research in schools to create effective solutions to children's inadequate physical activity levels with emphasis on the power of the collective vs. the individual. Stuart Fairclough has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles, supervised 18 PhD students, and raised over £0.5 million in external grant funding.  Stuart has also co-edited the newly commissioned Routledge Handbook of Youth Physical Activity.  In today's conversation we discussed the use of the double diamond approach to optimise both divergent and convergent thinking when implementing change in school physical activity, how exercise intensity can play a role in cardiorespiratory fitness and the role the physical environment can play in opportunities for children to free play.  So, if you are looking at ways to implement change in children's physical activity within your community, school, or household then there is something in this conversation for you.  So, without further ado, please enjoy my chat with Professor Stuart Fairclough.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, for Brain Fact Friday and episode #124. If you’ve been listening to this podcast, called Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning, I’m sure you’ve made the connection with the importance of improving our social and emotional skills, in our schools and otherwise called emotional intelligence skills in the workplace with an understanding of how our brain works. This week we interviewed Professor Chuck Hillman, from Northeastern University, and he mentioned that an important concept he would like to see in the future, would be more people like Paul Zientarski, who built his career with the application of Professor Hillman’s brain research. Today’s Brain Fact Friday will teach you how to do this. If you’re interested in how you could be this person in your school or workplace, who could spearhead the implementation of these new evidence-based ideas, I’ll show you how simple it can be so that you can be confident that what you are sharing with your schools or teams is accurate, and not pseudoscience.  In 2014, when an educator urged me to add the most current neuroscience research to my programs, I had to quickly learn about the brain and be sure what I was learning was accurate. I didn’t go to school for a degree in Neuroscience which is one route I highly suggest especially through Butler University’s Applied Educational Neuroscience Graduate Program Certificate with Dr. Lori Desautels[i]. I went another route, and found the leading neuroscience researcher, Mark Waldman[ii]  to teach me all he knew and later joined his Neuroscience Certification Program[iii] so I could share the most accurate research with others and stay up to date, since this information is always advancing and changing. This is exactly what Paul Zientarski had to do when he began to learn how the brain works from Professor Hillman’s research. Once you have an understanding of how the brain works, and know where to look to attach the most current research studies for your hypothesis, or something you are interested in sharing with others, it’s really not that difficult. We can all be neuroscience researchers, but the key is to find accurate studies that come from a website called Pubmed.gov[iv] not just Google, YouTube or random articles you might find on the internet. This is how I added brain-research to my second book, Level Up: A Brain-Based Strategy to Skyrocket Student Success and Achievement[v] and began speaking on the topic of “Stress, Learning and the Brain” in 2016. My first brain-based presentation for YRDSB Quest Conference[vi] in 2016 filled up and had standing room only. Principles, Superintendents, teachers and students filled the room, with the hopes of learning something new. It was the research that was throughout this presentation that helped me to have the confidence to share this knowledge, and not feel intimidated with the fact that I am not a Cognitive Neuroscientist, but someone who is passionate about the subject, that I would gladly trade my weekends to study and learn more, so I can share it with others. There was one slide that gave credibility to the topic, with the advice of Mark Waldman, who had been presenting on the topic many years before me.  It’s funny because he mentioned that studies show if you put an image of the brain in your presentation, it adds instant credibility to what you are saying. I’ll put the slide in the show notes, so you can see how easy it can be to attach a Pubmed Study and picture of a brain, to your next presentation if you want to add neuroscience to your next presentation. You can see my slide where I am talking about what stress does to our brain, as well as our students’ brains. If you are listening to this podcast on iTunes, you can access the images in the show notes here.  How Can You Become a Neuroscience Researcher? Here’s 4 simple steps that I know you could implement. STEP 1: First you want to think of your hypothesis, or something you are interested in, that you will back up with the most current research. Let’s use my presentation slide as an example and say that want to do a presentation on “How Stress Impacts the Brain and Learning.” STEP 2: Go to PubMed.gov[vii] and it’s important what you type into the search bar. Typing in chronic stress and the brain brings up over 16,000 results and is too many for you to read through. If you put (fMRI) in brackets, next to what you are searching, it will bring up studies that use brain scans, and this narrowed our search down a bit more to 628 studies. STEP 3: Read through the studies whose titles interest you.  If you’ve ever looked at an abstract or research study from Pubmed, you might think like I did when I first went there “how can I take this and implement it properly? I’m not even sure what the study is saying.” Don’t worry, the parts of the study that are important are the title, that tells you the topic and hypothesis, or what the researchers want to prove. Then there’s a middle part that give you some details about the study that you can scan, and don’t worry about all of the language. I’m sure many researchers aren’t sure what it all means either. If you’ve ever conducted a study, you’re usually an expert on your subject area, and not an expert at finding the statistical mean for your study, but someone who is an expert will inform this part of the study, that helps them to find an accurate conclusion, that you will want to read.  STEP 4: Pick a study that makes sense for what you are trying to prove.  The study that I used in my slide was “Chronic stress disrupts neural coherence between cortico-limbic structures” and you will see that I sited all of the authors of the study, exactly as they appeared along with the date of publication of the study. It really is that simple. You can become a Neuroscience Researcher and add the most current research to your own presentations using these 4 steps. You can also find interesting brain facts that would go along with this study, to make what you are sharing more interesting, because another brain discovery is that “people don’t pay attention to boring things, or people” and you don’t want to be boring. You’ll want to take the science, and add it to your presentation, without the scientific jargon that loses people’s attention. You can add engaging brain facts throughout your presentation on your topic to bring the attention back, and give a sort of brain break.   BRAIN FACT We know that stress impacts the brain and learning, but did you know that: “Your brain is 73% water. It takes only 2% dehydration to affect your attention, memory and other cognitive skills.”[viii] The authors of this brain fact were so brilliant that they tied it to a study on PubMed.gov on “Cognitive Performance and Hydration.”[ix] You could easily add this brain fact to a slide, encourage your audience to take a drink of water, and remind them that our brain needs water to hold our attention, memory and other important cognitive skills. How easy is that? I hope you find this Brain Fact Friday episode useful. If you do use these tips to implement some new ideas into your work, I would love to know. Please do reach out to me[x] and share how you’ve been inspired to add the most current neuroscience research to your school or workplace. See you next week.

For this episode of the podcast, I interviewed the lead author, Dr. Seth Jenny (@DrSethJenny), of the recently released textbook "Technology for Physical Educators, Health Educators, and Coaches: Enhancing Instruction, Assessment, Management, Professional Development & Advocacy". This textbook is obviously very relevant during the recent COVID pandemic. Indeed, Human Kinetics explains that "This text will help health and physical education teachers and coaches improve their abilities by learning to effectively use technology in the areas of instruction, assessment, management, communication, professional development, and advocacy". Indeed, this textbook offers an array of resources and strategies on how to use a wide range of technologies within a physical education setting, as well as this textbook as a full chapter dedicated to the implementation of assistive technology to meet students with disabilities' needs. Within this interview, we discuss the development and use of this textbook. We talk about specific technologies and strategies one can implement within their classes. In addition, we debate whether online physical education can be implemented effectively, and where the field of physical education currently stands on online physical education and how COVID may change those perceptions.

Brad Weiner (@APETeacher), an adapted physical educator for Montgomery County Public Schools and longtime contributor to the podcast, acted as the moderator for this episode. Brad leads this podcast by attempting to examine how adapted physical educators use and view research within the field of APE. This episode had on three panelists who all were authors of a recent research article (Adapted Physical Educators’ Perspectives of Educational Research) that surveyed 124 adapted physical educators on their views and use of research. The panelists included: Dr. Scott McNamara (ScottMcNamara12), the regular host for this podcast and an assistant professor at the University of Northern Iowa; Dr. Andrew Colombo-Dougovito (@amcdphd) from the University of North Texas; and Mr. Christopher Ahrens (@chrisahrens), an APE Teacher for the San Diego Unified School District and former US Paralympic soccer player. Within the episode the panel discusses why and how they undertook this research project, why APE teachers may not use or read research, why APE teachers should use research, and the importance for APE teachers and APE researchers to collaborate.

I strongly believe that as Physical Educators we are provided with an opportunity to build, foster and develop leadership more so than any other learning area. However, leadership is not something that comes natural to many people, nor does the ability to effectively teach it to a young person! What was exciting for me during the recording of this vlog was some of the insight Joel provided around this area. He really challenged the way I approach leadership when working with my students and gave me several ideas to take away and reflect on as I look at how I can be a better teacher for my students. Have a watch (or listen) of the episode and see what strikes a chord with you, then dtermine how you can transfer that learning or take away into the classroom or your teaching environment to build and foster leadership with the young people you work with. As mentioned toward the end of the episode, Joel is running an excellent two day workshop titled "Life by Design" which focuses around discovering your purpose, building decisiveness, gaining clarity through your vision, and developing the courage to act. If Joel has inspired you at all through this episode, please check out the landing page to his workshop here. Check out his Facebook page too!

Welcome to episode 61 of The PE Umbrella Podcast. This week, I dive into more reflections and delve into the world of language and motivation, dancing around both issues as I seek to suggest ways in which the language you use can impact your students. In the episode I cover thoughts around Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset concept and guide you towards The Physical Educator to become a YETI as well as share an inspiring 'Yet' story from the professional world of sport.

I offer up alternatives and set you, the listeners a challenge ready to take up in your own teaching this week. So what are you waiting for? Come on over and join me Under the Umbrella!

This Creating CoPOWERment® Radio episode features Robyn Singh, the author of "Paddling Home: A Journey Back to Self," an auto-biographical and spiritual journey, a personal story of synchronicity, healing and reconnection. In Robyn's words: "Outrigger canoeing was not just a competitive sport for me, It was an ancient and cultural remembrance, a feeling of Oneness, and the chosen vehicle that would transport me back to biological roots, my spiritual home and more importantly an awareness and awakening to my higher self." To connect with Robyn: http://www.rubyksingh.com; Haumea Creations on FB. Born in Brisbane, Australia, Robyn was adopted from birth and grew up on Queensland’s Gold Coast. Blessed and raised by loving parents her family was a global mixed plate, consisting of several different cultural backgrounds, including Indian, German and Maori roots. In her early 20’s, Robyn found her way to Hawai‘i through the sport of Outrigger Canoeing. It was not only a sport for her but the vessel that would eventually bring her back to her biological roots, back to her beloved Hawaii and to an awakening and awareness of the higher Self. Through a journey of intention, synchronicity, healing and remembrance Robyn shares her interesting story as an example of how spirit weaves through our lives and can guide us through our personal story if we stop long enough to take notice and lead us to what we are seeking, essentially the essence of our Self. A bit like putting the jigsaw pieces together. Robyn has been paddling since 1990 and raced in Australia, Tahiti, New Zealand and Hawai‘i. With twelve Moloka‘i to Oahu crossings under her belt, and two back-to-back Moloka‘i Outrigger World Championship wins, during this competitive period, her Outrigger paddling was enhanced by training and racing Olympic Flatwater Kayak in Australia, also competing internationally in New Zealand and Sweden to widen her experience. Eventually transitioning from competitor to coach, as a Physical Educator, she coached a High School Sports Excellence Program and eventually moved to the islands as Head Coach of Hawaii Canoe Kayak Team for 5 years. Accompanying the youth paddlers of Hawaii to National Championships on the mainland, she was also on the coaching staff at the USA Junior Development Camps held annually at the Olympic Training Centers in Chula Vista, CA and Lake Placid, NY. Robyn also coached women’s outrigger at the Surfer's Paradise Club and a season at the Outrigger Canoe Club of Hawai‘i. Robyn is a teacher at the core of her being, is versed in several healing practices and is currently sharing her love of yoga and meditation with others. Recently immersing in the practice of Nia, she has just completed a white belt certification and continues to enhance the joy of life, through movement, dance, paddling and being in nature.

Who would have thought?  Anyone can follow the Fat Guy's exploits on Twitter.  Food journals are great ways to lose weight and the Fat Guy is always trying anything in order to lose those last 20 pounds. So take a peek into his food diary. You never know what he'll write. Somehow he can stay compliant to writing on Twitter but he can't fit in exercise each day. That's right, moments after he eats something the Fat Guy used to Twitter about it and you can follow him so that one day if you try real hard you too can look like the Fat Guy. Please go to www.twitter.com/fatguy  Remember we are now on every morning in Michigan. On radio station WKNW. They asked us to create a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy "Wellness Minute." So now a new Wellness Minute runs on that station each morning at around 7:40. Each Wellness Minute features the doctor and I going over 5 of his best tips on a given wellness subject like: losing weight, getting in shape, living a healthy lifestyle, etc. Now these Wellness Minutes are available online.  If you have a favorite radio station that you think would benefit from our Wellness Minutes send them an email telling them about it and who knows maybe you can hear us everyday too. Also once again, I need you to please do me a favor. My kid Max has been doing a radio show called "Kid Power Radio" for awhile now and you should check it out. Tiffany from The Daily Candy called his family friendly radio show "Hilarious!" This is a great show for your kids. It is kind of like a kids version of TMZ or Entertainment Tonight mixed in with a little Wayne's World. Max recaps the week in entertainment and gives his take and review of what he liked and didn't like on TV, at the movies, video games, in books and in music and even restaurant reviews.
