The Problem

Sound Familiar?

Despite your best efforts, students in your PE class seem increasingly disengaged, and it’s becoming a challenge to motivate them.

You want your students to see the value in participating and improve their effort, but your current approaches don’t seem to be working as you hoped.

The time and energy you’re pouring into keeping students engaged is leaving you feeling frustrated, unsure, and exhausted.

PE Teachers are Overwhelmed and Exhausted

PE teachers report feeling overwhelmed and exhausted trying to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment that meets the needs of all students. One of the most common challenges mentioned by PE teachers has to do with student motivation and is starting to burn PE teachers out. 

What PE Teachers Have Shared

In the Spring of 2024, I interviewed many PE teachers across North America. They all reinforced what research has shown: student motivation is a big challenge and concern in PE class, and it’s not improving.

What if we could change that?

Now Imagine...

…feeling confident and energized every day as you walk into your gym, knowing you have strategies to truly connect with your students and get them excited to participate.

…having a clear understanding of what drives student motivation and how to create the conditions that fuels it for all students.

…having a toolbox of practical, proven strategies that bring clarity and efficiency to your teaching, saving you time and energy.

…feeling more energetic and fulfilled, leaving behind the exhaustion and replacing it with a sense of purpose, joy, and confidence in your ability to inspire students to thrive in PE.

…accessing ongoing, personalized professional development tailored specifically for you, a PE teacher, packed with research-backed strategies and actionable solutions you can use immediately.
