After a great career in the paper industry I am now teaching health and physical education in a public school in Maine. I teach the freshman class health and phys ed and see a great need to provide the teenagers with as much knowledge as possible in order to make better decisions in their life. My goal is to appeal to all the students and not just the varsity athletes. In order to do this I have introduced new sports like snowshoeing, fly fishing and many new individual sports that everyone can participate in for life. We work with the local community in many of our activities and after 3 years, the students are starting to embrace more life skill training and less structured sport training.
