Beyond the Physical with Paul Quinn & Steve Waide

Welcome to episode 185 of The PE Umbrella Podcast! This week I am joined by two experienced PE consultants in the shape of Paul Quinn and Steve Waide. From holding roles in secondary PE through to working for The FA PE Unit, Paul & Steve now work day to day for Beyond the Physical, helping Schools, Universities and SCITT's enhance their PE offering. On this episode, we chat about ALL things Primary PE, and the philosophy that both Paul & Steve hold with regards to Primary PE. Understanding that PE is central to the development of the whole child, it was fascinating to hear the passion and expertise of both Paul and Steve, and how they are hoping to push the boundaries for what we expect/accept in PE at primary level. Talking points include: - What currently excites you about PE? - What misconceptions about our subject should be banished? - What is your ideal PE lesson recipe? - How do we factor in developing the whole child? - What is your worst ever PE lesson and what did you learn from it? ALL of that and SO much more as both Paul and Steve keep the conversation bouncing along with ideas, insights and reflections! So what are you waiting for? Jump under the umbrella with us and join in the conversation by tweeting me @thepeumbrella. Note pad ready!
