Motor Development Videos - Spring 2012
Well the rite of passage for the Rockstar PE world is upon us and PED 201 has a couple of great additions so far to the Motor Development infant chapters. In the many years I've been doing this, we've seen musical styles such as classic rock, hip-hop, rap, blues, country, and tecno - but whatever style you choose, it's about communicating a clear and passionate message. We are preparing for our live presentations next week so make sure you know your lyrics and have your choreography down pat.Friday, March 23, 2012

The Right Way Works, Right?
Image via WikipediaWhen we're teaching kids how to perform skills we often say "This is how to perform this skill." but is this always correct? If someone is performing a skill in a non-traditional manner, when should you try to "correct" the movement pattern? Is there an optimal age? Tim Wolchko is bowling his way (and successfully at that) and since there are no rules as to how to deliver the ball - besides staying behind the line and knocking down more pins than your opponent - he's good to go. Makes me think of the thousands of times I've "corrected" and "taught" certain skills! But I'm somewhat reassured that I also encourage exploration, guided discovery and divergent teaching styles so that students can be free to find a way that works for them.Via Yahoo Sports

GatorMan - Fittest Man on the Planet & Skill Development (625)
Let's keep his story in mind as we continue our journey to examining how motor development never ends throughout the lifespan and how we are constantly affected by our genetics through affordances and rate-limiters, although neither of those components determine outcomes on their own.Both cycling and interacting with animals would always be a big part of Paul's life. In his early twenties while earning a BA from the University of Massachusetts Paul became an elite level triathlete. At the age of 24, Paul became the youngest athlete (at the time) to finish a Double Iron Triathlon (4.8 mile swim, 224 mile bike and a 52.4 mile run; all done back to back without stopping). By 1998 Paul's weekly training regiment often consisted of 5 to 10 miles of swimming; 500 to 600 miles of cycling and over 100 miles of running. In 1999 the long training helped him win the Oddessy Double Iron Triathlon.
I also wanted to highlight one of my all time favorite videos from TED Talks looking at skill improvement though classical piano playing until you get to the "One Buttock" position with only one impulse in the phrase. Check out the second video with Ben Zander this time with a young cellist Nikoli, working on very specialized skills, albeit in the musical realm; however, teaching is teaching. My use of these comparisons and metaphors is to expand your view on how passion, intent, and honest feedback can inspire all of us to teach high-quality education through the physical and to teach students about POSSIBILITY.
