Convention Recap

Hello all,

Where to start?! Convention was very jam packed full of sessions and opportunities to learn more. Almost 14 hours worth of valuable information. I learned things such as survivial techniques, interview techniques, fitness integration, badminton, and many other topics. I liked some sessions a lot more than others such as activity sessions versus lecture sessions. I did not enjoy staying in the same place for 75 minutes without moving. But knowing that, I tried to get to the active ones and if not, at least make them worth while. One of the best times I had of convention was listening to Lou Slaughterbeck speak. It was great because it wasn't specific in that he gave advice on how to teach a topic, but an overall motivational speech. It was more than just teaching, it was about how you should live your life and how to take teaching episodes and life moments and use them both to better yourself. Overall, I truly enjoyed my time at convention and reccommend it to everyone involved in health or physical education.

Best,
Kevin

  1. I had a great time at convention as well. I agree that the sessions with activity were a lot more fun than the lecture ones, but just as informational. Lou was definitely the highlight of the whole convention. He is such an inspiration! I wish I could have had him as a student.
