Move Your Body Often, Sometimes Hard, Every Bit Counts If exercise could be bottled up and sold as a drug, it would be a billion-dollar blockbuster. Get outside and move regularly. What type of exercise? Do what you enjoy! Even better if it's with people you enjoy!

This is what Meaningful PE is all about.
People perform best when they: -enjoy what they do -feel secure in the environment -they can make progress -Feel they belong -are doing meaningful work Nowhere in that list is excessive control, micromanaged, being motivated with fear. In other words, to lead, be a decent human

Working to do this with my students!
People mistake leadership and management with power and control. When it's really about the opposite, autonomy. If you are leading, your goal is to actually give away control. You want to guide and empower your team to not be dependent on you.
