Hello PE Nation!

Today I wanted to share six new principles that guide our teaching and our lives: take risks, embrace the journey, no limits, Kaizen, love your craft, and change the game. Stories range from a final hello to a principal to the Savannah Bananas’ reinvention of baseball, with clear takeaways for any classroom.

• why taking smart risks reduces regret
• embracing process and momentum over titles
• removing false limits for ourselves and students
• Kaizen as daily, steady improvement
• loving the craft so students feel it
• how to change the game without losing standards
• practical ways to make PE more joyful and inclusive
• book one context and what’s coming in book two

Happy teaching,

Dave
