ATHLETE TOUGHNESS I am currently a collegiate athlete, and in the future, I hope to become a collegiate coach. If not though, I plan to fall back on coaching at the high school level. These days, athletes seem to becoming weaker and weaker, and I mean this on a mental level. Excuses are made left and right as to why some players can't perform certain tasks, and if we make the effort to push them harder, they take it personally and get bent out of shape. In the past, coaches could push players to such further limits, and it helped make the players better, because they were able to push themselves harder. How do we get todays athletes to put the excuses aside and push themselves? Please share in the forum.   FISHING: Wanted to get some reactions from students about fishing being included in the PE curriculum. I personally find it very benefical physically and mentally, and believe it can be very beneficial to the students. Please share in the forum.   HOCKEY CONDITIONING/WARM-UP DRILLS: I am a college hockey coach and trying to come up with some new conditioning and warm-up drills. I like to try to have a new warm-up for each practice so that they dont get lazy and tired of the same drills but have been having trouble coming up with new drills recently. Also, are there any other conditioning drills beside the normal "herbie/suicide" or "board to board" drill? Please share in the forum.   UNIFORMS IN PE: do you think all P.E. classes should be required to have a dress code policy with every student wearing the same thing like wearing their school colors?

I am a current PE major and want to teach health and phys ed once I graduate probably at the high school level. How hard is it to become an athletic director and/or what type of certification do you need? Please share in the forum.   WHAT DO YOU DO WITH STUDENTS...?: We all have students that from time to time are out with an injury that won't allow them to participate in the usual way. My question to the group is "What type of activities to you have students do when they are NOT allowed to do any physical activity (i.e. a concussion) and they still are sent to PE? Thanks! Please share in the forum.   MILE RUN: So many schools have the mile run. Students are required to run it in the beginning of the class and at the end of the quarter again.
