My Students

I am a PE teacher, teaching 6 sessions weekly and I also am the football coach and a baseball coach. I wear lots of hats!

Thanks to grants by Drew Brees, the NFL, and private donors, we were able to renovate the locker rooms (boys and girls) and to build a new concession stand/handicapped accessible restroom and press box.

We will get the keys to the concession stand within a month.

These new features constitute a great incentive to motivate the football team to succeed. The team has approximately 40 members and I teach approximately 150 kids in PE.

My Project

We are already thinking post-coronavirus era, because hope is all we've got at this point. Things are going to be normal again, and when that happens, my boys will be ready to tackle.

This is why we shall need to take on the opposition with six football man shields.

My offensive players will practice blocking techniques without physical contact with their teammates using these shields, which are to be held by another player to mimic real-life player movements, resistance and game situations.

I will encourage proper hand placement during tackling and blocking drills with the angled top that is designed to resemble shoulder pads worn by a player. With the four reinforced handles, my players will hold the shield to provide optimal push-back during drills.

Stay well!
