700 Gold Medals, 26 World Records, 95 Years Old & still competing...

Some of my students have been or will be watching this video in PE class as we prepare for fitness tests.

Their reactions have been fantastic!  The students have some amazing insights, thoughts, and questions.  She is one of my new favorite athletes!

Watch it as a family and see where the discussion leads!

What do you feel after watching the video?

Did the choices she make when she was 5, 15, 25, and so on influence what she is doing now?  How?

What can we do NOW to help make sure we live, long healthy lives?

Is physical literacy just as important as reading literacy, math literacy, writing literacy, etc.?
