Hopes and Olympic dreams I'm sure at one point in many of our lives we have all dreamed of playing at the elite level. Whether that is in sport or as a professional singer or songwriter. However, truth be told most of us won't play for a ‘Man United’ or have songs in the top 10. Yet for those that do, as this blog shows, the elite don't do it on th…

When Forrest Gump ran for the first time there was a perception that he couldn’t but he would be the exception and not the rule. Because running is something that a child learns to do at such an early age there is an assumption that they don’t need to be taught. If that was the case in all areas of life why would we teach children to read and write…

The boy who ‘used to’ Sometimes we make our own decisions and leave pursuits of our past in the past, for example when end our competitive playing days or sell a bike.

Fitting in when you don’t know the ‘rules’ We’ve all watched documentaries (I would have thought) that see explorers journeying deep into the jungle to meet an isolated tribe and, like me, have wondered at their strange ways and new language. Yet in many ways we assume that it takes a journey such as that to find something so fundamentally differen…

Finding value in running…again We often focus on what we can’t do and where the risks are and forget that greater competence, confidence and support help us to achieve. Therefore, when a child (like Joshua) suffers a life-changing accident we focus on what he can no longer do and forget to focus on what he can still do. If we focused on the strengt…

Running before she can walk… Why do we have running or sustained running lessons in schools? To improve students’ fitness? Their endurance? To give them the knowledge of how to lead a physically active life? Yet, when it’s the time of year for the running unit, how many students bring a note? How many disengage? And how many are unable to complete …

Balancing the drive to well with ‘down time’ Even model students need our help. It is easy to get caught up with those who struggle and it is equally easy to assume that those who are thriving don’t need as much help. In physical education and sport we often focus on the model students or the elite but, as William’s pedagogical case shows, there is…

Girls are girly and they don’t play aggressive and explosive sports like football. They might throw like a girl or hit like a girl. They might be a big girl’s blouse and they might cry but they don’t gain kudos from being sporty.

Our focus on “our sports” (as teachers and families) and on traditional sports acts as a very real barrier to participation for some while widening it for others. Choosing one sport over another sport is an active decision and it limits the ways in which children access different activities. Likewise, choosing not to ‘do’ or value a sport – either …

Sometimes we don’t often get the time to speak to the parents of the students we teach. The role of specialists, such as physiotherapists, in physical education might also seem abstract.
