Reimagining School Sports

  High school sports: I have fond memories of my 4 years as a cross country runner, the 3 years in track, and my one protest year of playing high school tennis when my school changed coaches for our distance team in track. I have lifelong friendships with several of those teammates and those activities inspired me to be interested in running as a sport I have been able to continue in as I approach 50. We know the benefits of sport and physical activity not only from a physical standpoint but also the academics benefits we see in students who regularly are exercising or involved in sport. But are we dealing with high school sports the right way? Can we do better and provide opportunities and increased participation, especially with the pull of club and travel sports. Today on the podcast we will talk about an effort by the Aspen Institute to reimagine school sports.   The Pediatric Sports Medicine Podcast Links Bar:  Subscribe via Apple Podcasts |  Subscribe via RSS Feed |  Facebook Page |  Twitter Page |  Stitcher Page Find Even More Ways to Listen & Subscribe via The Podcaster Matrix!     The ultimate success for every podcaster – is FEEDBACK!
