As a PE teacher with a front-row seat to the chaos of dodgeball, I've witnessed firsthand the way it can spiral from fun to ferocious. Flashes of head injuries and the sting of exclusion still resonate with me, as well as the echo of my wife's childhood fears regarding the game. On Super SizedPhysed, we're tackling the enduring controversy of dodgeball in schools, questioning its place in our education system. Join me for a candid discussion on the consequences I've observed, why I ultimately removed dodgeball from my curriculum, and the safer, more inclusive alternatives like castle ball and Wreck-It Ralph that I've come to appreciate.This episode is more than a walk down memory lane; it's a call to arms for my fellow educators to uphold the integrity of our profession. As we dissect the critical role of teaching sports with professionalism, I invite you to bring your thoughts to the table—whether they align with mine or not. We'll explore how to provide quality instruction that goes beyond the trivial and ensures we are seen as an indispensable part of the educational journey. Together, let's elevate our practice and reaffirm our value in shaping the future of education. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that might just inspire you to rethink your stance on the dodgeball debate. Take care,DaveP.S.

Our latest episode is a testament to the limitless potential within us all, as I recount tales of extraordinary individuals who've redefined the boundaries of human capability.

This isn't just about athletic prowess; it's a universal call to action to smash through our own barriers in every slice of life.The saga continues with Rick Hansen, whose response to paralysis was to wheel across the globe, sparking hope and supporting spinal cord research. Reflecting on Hansen's resilience, I share my personal brushes with obsession, from my infatuation with the Brat Pack films to narrowly escaping expulsion from my teaching program. These narratives weave together a message of relentless pursuit, encouraging listeners like you to redefine your perceived limits in professional realms and personal passions alike.

What's up PE Nation!(Check out this AI summary!)Ever found yourself with meticulously laid plans for a sunny day, only to have storm clouds roll in and rewrite your entire schedule? That's a regular occurrence for me, where the weather has a mind of its own. Tune in as I recount the trials and triumphs of managing outdoor activities amid these sudden shifts. I'll walk you through a particularly memorable day where blue skies turned grey, forcing rapid indoor pivots, and share the lessons learned on staying flexible and keeping spirits high despite the weather's curveballs.

What's up PE Nation!!!I've been thinking about a post in one of the PE groups recently. It was a teacher who was offered a job teaching large (100+) groups at a time.  I looked at the previous replies to this post and saw a bunch of people saying "NO WAY! Don't do it", and "That's not legal", and all sorts of things. They're not wrong necessarily, but I have a different perspective on it. Here are some myths and truths and how I run my classes. For further help, I have a course on this below as well as a book that is for any teacher wanting to up their game.
