Amanda Stanec, Phd and I talk about what physical literacy is. Amanda majored in physical education, played soccer and later taught PE and coached soccer. She worked to support PE curriculum in Canada and was part of approving the Canadian definition of physical literacy.
Physical literacy is confidence and competence to be physically active in a wide variety of environments (land, snow, ice and water) to benefit yourself and your community. Encompasses personal and social responsibility. It involves more than the fundamental movement patterns.
What are the recommendations for kids in terms of physical literacy and how it is developed.
Her company MoveLiveLearn seeks to bring together sports, health and PE folks.
