Been a hot second since posting on here but I’m looking for my next adventure and would love to get back to the LTAD/S&C world. Let me know if you know of anything or if you’re willing to share this with your network, that would be awesome #opentowork #edtech #youthsport

@foggy_g0ggle Yea, I made the decision to stay away from the pizza/french fry method. It is just so hard to get them away from that habit. I thought the same thing about her boots but I think it’s just her finding stability in the hip because they were pretty snug!

@CoachVerdin Love this. Thanks for sharing. Love how you have her working parallel and not in a power wedge. One thing I notice is with her skis doing some wiggling I wonder if her boots could be a little tighter. Just a thought. Thanks!

#LTAD Thread: This weekend my daughter became independent skiing. This process has been a fun case study for creating joy around an activity and how to curate an intro to a sport experience. Our 3 rules: - we are kind to each other - we try our best - we have fun 1/2

@JeremyFrisch @boiseparks is top of its class

@CoachVerdin That looks awesome

Parents : The modern playground sucks... It's too uniform... Too symmetrical... There's no challenge... It's too easy to navigate... In short, it's too safe... When you see kids climbing up the slide It's a clear sign that the kids are seeking more of a challenge... Somewhere some adults decided that kids might get hurt, so everything became easier and safer... But it's kind of a paradox... Because when kids never learn how to navigate the environment around them. They never learn to balance or have a sense of where their bodies are in space. They become adults who can't move and are a danger to themselves...and guess what? They get hurt! #LTAD

Anyone can request a break or dictate a break if these aren’t being met. We talk about examples of meeting/not meeting each. There are only positive vibes. At the end of the day we debrief w/ stuff like this. This is what LTAD is all about! 2/2 #youthsport #physicalsctivity #PE

Been a minute! Here to share a cool project I’ve been working on with an awesome organization. I am on the board for this youth sport organization and we are starting up a podcast. Check out our first episode! @rihoward41 @Joe_Eisenmann @IdahoYouthSport @ltadnetwork @jamesbaker_8

@Joe_Eisenmann I’m in for a chapter! ✋🏼

Textbooks drive me crazy .... order of chapters, etc. Why is there a chapter on 'Adaptations to Aerobic/Resistance Training' .... and then 3 chapters later authors have chapters on Training Principles and also include Detraining in another chapter?🤦🏾‍♀️

@Joe_Eisenmann Sounds like you just need to write your own!

@Joe_Eisenmann I think a lot of it stems from a mindset of the grade being the end goal rather than a skill set. If we shifted toward a competency-based system similar to that in the medical field, students would walk away with both content expertise and skills needed.

🤔We need to start thinking differently how to teach (undergrads). Get away from standard textbooks. More integrated, multi-disciplinary courses.

me a max $100 (if approved through this review process) because I don’t have the receipt of the helmet I bought 5 years ago. Such frustrating/bad policy 2/2 @AlaskaAir #customerservice101 #youbrokeityoubuyit

@AlaskaAir forces me to gate check my ski boot bag, then damages my ski helmet to the point it isn’t safe, tells me it takes 4-6 weeks to be reviewed but may be denied b/c I reported it 48 hours after landing instead of 24 b/c I just opened the bag & they will only reimburse 1/2

When making plans, think big. When making progress, think small.

@hulu_support I have watched games on @hulu @CBSSports apps in four different locations each with unique accounts and every one has the same issue. The Vikings game right now has cut our at least a half dozen times already

@CoachVerdin Thanks for following up! We're not currently seeing this behavior on our end, but if the steps at: hulu.tv/PlaybackHelp- don't help clear things up, please call/chat by following the prompts at: hulu.tv/ContactSupport-.

@cbssports has the worst…WORST…streaming broadcast of any channel. All season (on @hulu). First series and it has already cut out twice. Never on commercials though. What gives… #GoDawgs

@hulu_support 83705. Cut out at least 15 times on CBS. Same thing for every UGA football game on CBS this year

@CoachVerdin Hulu here — sorry for any trouble! Mind sharing your ZIP Code so we can take a peek at our live feed? We'll circle back after we've received your response!

Lots of sports sampled the past two days!!! @241Sports #LTAD #physicaleducation #physicalliteracy
