We Need a P.E. Revolution
Dr. Daniel O’Neill, an orthopedic surgeon and sports psychologist, advocates for a revolutionary shift in physical education. He argues that neglecting P.E. exacerbates issues like obesity and anxiety in children. O’Neill highlights the importance of fostering a 'physical identity' and critiques the focus on competitive sports, which alienates many kids. He envisions a P.E. curriculum that prioritizes overall health and fitness for all, not just those excelling in sports, and encourages parents and educators to push for this vital reform.
