Physical Education Tips of the Week #53

1. Editor's Note

I hope you're having a great summer. If you're in the mood to do a little physical education reading, here's the latest newsletter.

Physical Education Tips of the Week #53
July 24, 2008
We have added six articles to PE Update.com over the past two weeks: They include articles on a better jump shot release; a different way to measure the runup for long and triple jump; a fundraising idea using the new GeoCaching craze; tips for reading the ball's roll on chip shots; a way to improve baseball catcher's vision; and a way to randomly select teams in physical education classes.

The above articles are for PE Update members only. But how about free stuff? This newsletter includes links to a video that shows a martial arts class in a Seoul, Korea sports high school; our blog, in which I tell a story about how a barber helped a young athlete at the Canadian Olympic Trials; and finally, from our archives, a swimming article on whether to breathe on one side or both sides when performing the front crawl.

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.

If you're not already a member of the PE Update website, then join up today!! You can get more information here: PE Update Membership Information

I hope you enjoy this issue of PE Tips of the Week!
