Unfortunately, many districts are more concerned about the results a handful of athletes produce rather than the masses of non-athletic students who pass through the gymnasium doors each day. Physical educators, grades K-12, who want to make a critical impact on both athletes and non-athletes alike should consider taking this online PD course.
