People like to joke and say, "those who can't do, teach; those who can't teach, teach gym." To all those people, I challenge them to fill the shoes of a physical educator or important coach for a day. To me, these are some of the most difficult jobs, but also some of the most rewarding.

​

Having grown up playing competitive sports since the age of nine, I knew I wanted to be a coach some day. As such, I studied Physical Education through the school of Kinesiology at the University of Michigan. It is here that I not only learned about the study of movement, anatomy, physiology, and bio-mechanics, but I also learned how to lesson plan, observe, collect and analyze data, as well as manage a group--in a classroom, in a gym, in a pool, on a court, on a field, and more. 

​

Without a doubt, my time in this program has taught me more about education and teaching than anywhere else. I will forever applaud and give thanks to Professor Kerry Winkelseth fora  majority of this educational experience.
