High Minded Success Through Physical Education


High Minded Success Through Physical Education

As a coach I believe Physical Education plays a key role of influencing student’s moral development. From kindergarten through 12th grade, students have the opportunity to train their mind through leadership, cooperating with others, and accepting responsibility for their own behavior.  Learning moral development through physical education can also help students in society develop proper attitudes and behaviors towards other people, which will help as students’ progress through their lives.  One thing that I have seen more and more as a coach today is that students seem to learn morality better when they are in groups, and what better way to teach it then by teaching them in physical education classes.  Some people may think that physical education only develops students’ skill levels, but when you look at the overall picture, it truly helps develop character. 

Physical Education should not be a crutch for moral development. Physical Education should be a driven factor in moral education. Through physical education, coaches are able to teach students the basic right from wrong, which has a huge impact on their lives. Students should develop good behavior, leadership, and character over time, which should lead to great communication skills and a life time of success.
