Physical Education Tips of the Week #48
June 5, 2008
This week's article additions to the website included a basketball drill that is great for practicing the defensive trap and offensive press break; an article on how to peak your sprinters and hurdlers for major competitions; and a method for turning old tennis balls into excellent juggling balls.

How about free stuff? This newsletter also provides links to free nutrition and fitness downloads from Shaquille O'Neal's childhood obesity website; my blog discussion on the differences between masters basketball players and our younger counterparts and the role physical education has played in our lives; and a free article on how to get your runners to time and record their own interval times.

This newsletter is free, but most of the content on the website is for members-only, including instructional videos, the discussion group, almost 2000 articles that you can read, print and email... and much more.

SHAQ'S BIG CHALLENGE
Shocked by the problem of childhood obesity, NBA star, Shaquille O'Neal, decided to do something about it. Along with a number of experts, he designed a nutrition and exercise program for overweight middle schoolers in Florida. His quest became a network television show in 2007.

His website has a number of excellent resources for physical education teachers. It includes a number of downloadable resources, such as the reproducible pledge, exercises, daily workout sheets, nutritional information (such as how to adapt drinks to make them more healthy). Definitely worth a look..

Monday Morning Musings on the World of Sports, Coaching & Physical Education from Editor, Dick Moss.

MASTERS BASKETBALL DIFFERENCES
Cold chicken wings and coffee for a pre-game breakfast? Yup- masters basketball players have different priorities than their younger counterparts. But the fact they are still playing is a testament to their school physical education and sports programs.

5. Free Pick of the Week

Each week, I'll highlight a useful article from the PE Update Archives. The article will be available to non-members of the website for a week, and to members forever!

This week's pick is:
Track: Self-Reporting System for Track Practice & Physical Education Running Classes

Are there too many runners on your track team or PE class for you to time yourself. Then use this system to have them time and record their intervals themselves. I have released last week's article and video for non-members to see.
