Discussion

On the basis of the NASPE standards and objectives for physical education listed in the book, do you consider yourself a physically educated person? Think about your elementary, middle, and high school physical education experiences. Was your teacher enthusiastic? Did he or she model a physically active lifestyle? How often did you have physical education class? Was it a required subject in your school? Were you taught mostly lifetime sport activities (e.g. tennis, golf, archery) or team sports? What factors made the experience enjoyable or unenjoyable? What would you have done to increase its effectiveness?
