There has been and continues to be an enormous paradigm shift in PE.  The competitive attitude and the "need" to win and be the "best" is becoming less emphasized.  The attention is being diverted to teaching the concepts of fitness.  This is my main focus in all my classes.  I start with the assumption that students want to learn and be responsible for their learning. Together we build in knowledge, performance and proficiency with practice.  Collectively we achieve.
