I am so grateful to our sports med team for jumping at the chance to educate our student-athletes about being a professional
@WilliamPennU has a top notch TEAM treating our athletes!
I bet no championship athletic team ever said “it’s just 9th grade, it doesn’t really matter”
Maybe this is the reason that some athletic programs don’t win anything at the varsity level … because some members of the coaching staff think that only the varsity level matters.
After much reflection, I'm saying bye to the CALM CORNER, & welcoming the PIT STOP.
IMO, students don't always need to "calm down." In that moment, they might need to jump, hug, run, draw, drink, etc.
Try, reflect, adjust, grow.😊
Thanks for the inspiration @MegaeraR! #physed

The Midwest Taught Me:
1. How to smell a storm
2. Dress in layers
3. Expect four seasons in an hour
4. How to drive in the snow and rain
5. Olympic level Cornhole skill
6. To tie something down to the point “it’s not going anywhere”
7. Less than a 16 hour drive? don’t fly
We’re happy to help support this fine bunch of Professional Educators. Looking forward to a great #Shapeiowa22 Conference. @Palos_Sports @schoolhealth @FocusedFitness2
This is why I try so hard to hold fast to my classroom expectations. There is a reward for those who follow them… but you have to decide that from the beginning of the semester… not the last few weeks of it.Classes, athletics, career jobs…leaders and followers #morethan40hrs
