Nathan McClallen, Athletic Director and Lead P.E. Teacher at Founders Classical Academy of Leander (TX) joins host Scot Bertram to discuss what a successful P.E. class looks like, how to put students in positions to succeed, and different ways to reach goals as a P.E. teacher.
Our first two years on campus together, we had History, P.E., lunch, study hall, Four Square Club, and Ultimate Frisbee Club, plus volleyball, basketball, and track & field. I remember getting reprimanded by our headmaster in the first few weeks of the first year for organizing an arm-wrestling tournament in the portables during *silent* study hall. I also remember who won.
Every season you live a whole life—beginning, middle, and end—and you share it with your team. They aren’t all pleasant lives, but they are captivating. I live and die at least once every year, then I come back eager for more.
