Been working out this summer w a Physical Education teacher from the Greece school district. She’s been introducing me to new techniques and ideas as we lift weights together. I’m loving it! Every time we get together she passes on some new form of knowledge that she picked up from reading various fitness magazines. The woman is a plethora of knowledge, and I’m the lucky recipient!
What struck me the other day tho is when she said some PE teachers are still teaching the same format and using the same knowledge they had when they were in school for physical education. We were talking about how things change and new ideas come along, and she stated that she likes to incorporate these things into her classes.
I thought it was rather sad that some teachers who went to school well over a decade ago are still using the same techniques from back then, when all sorts of new knowledge, formats and ideas have been discovered.
Made me think about my own life, and how I always want to be learning. I don’t want to be the sort of person who isn’t willing to discover, learn or try new things. Nor do I want to resist change or be stuck in the past. Whether it be in my personal, coaching, church or spiritual life, I never want to assume I have arrived and know it all. There’s always something to be discovered. I’m all for learning and growing. How about you???
