How do we develop this?

Organised chaos.

Physical educators worldwide are on the frontline of combatting the trend towards poor health in the modern world.

Conferences like PHASE Asia Pacific give them the tools and the support to win that struggle, which is why I’m always very happy to present there and to share our concepts of movement, physical literacy and athletic development.

Join us in Bangkok next week 👊

Parkour is an incredible tool for physical literacy and general athletic development through locomotor play, problem solving and task-oriented practice.

ABOUT THE PRE-CON

It serves as an introduction, and enables a sports teacher to initiate basic elements of parkour/freerunning training within the school environment.

Want your kids to be athletes?

Then let them MOVE!

General physical literacy is FAR MORE IMPORTANT at a young age than any sport-specific movement pattern.

PE classes should be filled with:

Running
Jumping
Climbing
Vaulting
Rolling
Spinning & rotating
Crawling
Brachiating

Achieve this through structured play, games and challenges. Play tag, bulldogs, pirates, relay races, obstacle courses, the floor is lava… etc.

Watch their athleticism emerge naturally.

The importance of risky play for kids.

Ella McSweeney talks to David Gaul (TU Dublin and Irish Research Council), Christina Duff (DCU) and Jenny Kavanagh (DCU and Irish Research Council) about the serious business of play.

Why risky play is good for kids In this week's Brainstorm podcast, we look at the benefits of risky play, the wonders of childhood imagination and how not to design playgrounds

Improving Upon Our Best.

Great work by the PE team at in Essex, UK, finishing their Parkour For Schools Instructor Training today - a fantastic group with a real thirst for constant improvement and learning 👊
