Incorporating Coaching into Physical Education

Mike Lawler

To incorporate equipment/software that would primarily be used for coaching and turn it into a teaching device that can enhance students abilities and horizons.

Goal:

To allow students who partake in sports to practice outside of their normal schedule.

To allow students who are inexperienced to learn basic fundamentals by learning what the athletes learn.

To allow students to dabble in different sports and develop their own opinions towards those sports.
