Physical Education: High School Teacher

Mission Statement/Teaching Philosophy
My main goal as a Physical Education in the high school level is to make them realize how important physical activity is in life.
I would also teach students the basic motor and manipulative skills.
I also believe its important to teach people of all fitness levels to be able to create their own fitness programs.
I will let them be active as much as possible during the periods.
I will give compliments and some constructive criticism because I believe that helps them build confidence and gain knowledge of the skill/sport.

I love sports and follow them closely; mainly baseball, football and basketball.
