I have always been passionate about sports and athletics, ever since I was a kid playing every sport I could.  Now being a PE teacher, being physically active and encouraging others to do the same is something I really enjoy.  I believe building relationships with students is very important towards motivating them to do their best and establishing a positive school culture.
