  • Level-up Leadership Program Part 2
    Mar 17 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Welcome PE Nation!

    Today I share a part-two update on my martial arts style leadership program for elementary PE and how the belt levels are working in real life. I break down the benefits, the problems I did not expect, and what I want to change so it runs even better next year.

    • belt system built around leadership, behavior, and helpfulness rather than athletic skill
    • how students earn white, green, orange, purple, black, and red belt levels
    • daily responsibility expectations like wristbands, water bottles, and best effort
    • leadership roles through captains, referees, and helping classmates
    • privileges that reinforce trust and positive behavior
    • pros like improved effort, better sportsmanship, and stronger classroom culture
    • cons like some kids opting out, parent complaints, and over-promotion risks
    • future plans to make criteria clearer and fund supplies with a grant

    Definitely check out the first episode on the leadership program, it’ll give you a better idea of it. If you have any questions, reach out to me.

    Take care,

    Dave

    Today we map out engaging jump rope stations that scale from kindergarten to fifth grade, tie movement to heart health, and keep classes flowing with limited staff. From Chinese jump rope patterns to long rope timing, we share practical setups, cues, and safety tips you can use tomorrow.

    • K–1 adaptations using floor shapes and simple jumps
    • Chinese jump rope patterns with ankle to knee progressions
    • single-rope zones for beginner, intermediate, advanced
    • long rope entries, rhythm, and partner timing
    • Jump Over the Brook for distance and power with safeguards
    • Helicopter for quick, inclusive jumping games
    • obstacle course options that teach heart health
    • using task cards, volunteer roles, and rotation timing

    Take care,

  • Old School PE: What Were They Thinking?
    Dec 23 2025

    Send us Fan Mail

    Welcome back PE Nation!

    Today I revisit the PE practices many of us grew up with—public showers, shirts versus skins, elimination games, captains’ picks—and show how small changes create safer, more inclusive classes. Stories from the 70s and 80s meet modern fixes that keep kids moving without shame.

    • why public showers and rigid swimming norms erode psychological safety
    • how pinnies replace shirts versus skins without fuss
    • designing re-entry rules so elimination games keep everyone active
    • small-sided games to increase touches and learning
    • equitable team formation without public ranking
    • reframing fitness testing toward growth, not humiliation
    • safer alternatives to risky legacy games
    • what to keep from tradition and what to retire

    Let's keep the good stuff and do away with the bad,

    Dave
