Physical Education Tips of the Week #42
April 24, 2008
Summer is slowly but surely getting here, and you Fall sport coaches will be encouraging your athletes to engage in a summer fitness program. This week, we've included an article on how to improve their compliance during those long, distracting summer months. You'll also see a video demonstration of an exercise that's great for adding plyometric content to warmups. This newsletter also provides free links to an inspirational video on unused potential; the weekly blog, in which I discuss the effects of health and PE cuts on teen pregnancy rates; and a baseball fielding article on when and how to barehand the ball.
