Paul Dodd has been a physical education teacher, a sports coach and a physical activity consultant. Paul´s company Movement and Me work to improve physical activity for all but Paul´s real passion is children.

70% of kids drop out of physical activity by the age of 13. In this interview Matt asks Paul Dodd why that is and how we can change this worrying trend which is contributing to a future generation with chronic physical illness and mental health challenges.

If you are a parent, teacher or anyone who works with children then this conversation is for you. Please see links and books below that Paul has suggested to look at
