In With the New: Tips for Creative Teaching and Coaching

Our session will take traditional teaching/coaching practices and provide examples, based upon research, with more effective methods. Examples will be provided on mental health, positive conditioning, positive communication, mental skills development, character development, intentional goal setting, and enjoying sport. Often, teachers/coaches teach or coach the way they were taught or coached. However, today’s students and athletes have changed over the years. Teachers/coaches must also change to meet the needs and demands of our students/athletes. We will have participatory activities/strategies for each tip which encourages student physical, mental and social participation. Content will be geared toward professionals involved in physical education classes and school athletic programs (middle/high school). Learn practical methods that will resonate and make a positive difference with your students/athletes.
