  BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH ATHLETES: We as coaches usually have certain things that we do not like to have in our athletes. In this thread I would like to see what other peoples thoughts are on the subject. My biggest personal problem is having an athlete that has all the talent in the world but is lazy and doesn't achieve their personal greatness. Please share in the forum.
  WARM UP IDEAS: I will be teaching elementary students a progressive dynamic warm-up. Is that too soon to be teaching locomotor movements? Some ideas are lunges, arm circles, neck rotations, caricoa, high knees and butt kicks. Do you have any ideas that could make the warm-up more fun to get the students more excited? Please share in the forum.
  THE FUTURE OF PE: Does not look good in the climate of slash and burn budgets. Luckily, Florida passed a law mandating PE everyday in elememtary 2 years back. Of course the way that kangaroo house and senate runs they could pass ten more laws abolishing it next week. What do any of YOU think. I am hopeful we survive this insanity of killing public schools with stupid policy and mandates. Please share in the forum.
  PICKING TEAMS : What is a good way to pick/assign teams without someone having to be picked last, and having the teams equal in different skill levels? Please share in the forum.
  BODY WEIGHT EXERCISES: If you put a group of students into a room full of workout equipment, I can guess that a good 50-60% of them do not know how to use the equipment properly. With the exception of those involved in school athletics. Since most physical education classes are relatively short, it can be a waste of a class period to show each individual machine and the proper techniques for using them while the students stand and watch. I'm a big fan of body weight exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, crunches, dips etc. Basically any exercise that can be done with little to no equipment and the students still receive a good workout from doing them. My question is how can you keep students motivated and interested in learning these exercises in the classroom as well as attempting to build life long fitness goals for the student? Please share in the forum.
