The Competition Cooperation Link: Games for Developing Respectful Competitors

Awesome teacher with great methods

This past semester I had the oppportunity to take a PE methods course from Dan Midura. Not only is he an amazing teacher, but he has compiled some of the best PE activities I have ever experienced. I have traditionally been the kid that was always the least athlethic, but in Dan's class using the ideas from his book, I felt successful and actually wanted to come to class even though it was at 7:30 in the morning! I highly recommend his emphasis on working together instead of "cut-throat competition". If you are a Physical Education teacher or even an elementary teacher who wants some new ideas for fun, encouraging physical activities, this is the book to get.
