springboard diving coach and the national In board diving coach alio coached tennis and track and field He was the associate dean for the faculty at York University before taking over chairmanship of department has spec in I lied in the effects of physical education on grade one children end on teacher behavior The following Is the of what Is hoped will be a two or Ihree part series on a taped Interview revolving around a wide range of topics dealing physical education Stuart Robbins I concerned very much with high level sport butl concerned that we try to or re kids too early try to them before they re mentally socially and physically ready for these things Tie Herald How important do you feel physical education Is to the elementary and high school student of he 1980 Dr When we start to lookathowthebodyoperatcs improves by usage Most of the machines humans make degenerate and leave servicing to get worse to jobs they do as you use them The body works exactly the oppos ite And as we use muscles the heart and lungs we Improve on thelr And therefore I think Its important that humans use their body When we look at our lifestyle it a changed dramatically over the past few years Technology has brought about some tremendous improve ments in our living styles and improv ed the sort of things we can Instruct But Its also taken a lot of activity out of everyday living And if the human body needs to be used we then have to replace that through physical education Many people would argue don community leagues and minor sports groups cater to that I would argue that the only place that we can be sure that we can get all children Is In school Activity is so Important to the growth player profile Kennedy has a winning attitude The first thing Gemini coach Jules looks for in a player is attitude so when he speaks of Kennedy his appraisal of the George town Junior B winger Is positive Riv got a winning attitude the coach says Kennedy was a welcome sight for the injuryridden Gems after he returned from missing four game Suffering a back injury Kenne dy came back to help Georgetown with his goal scoring ability Against Streetsville two weeks ago Kennedy scored two clutch goals for the Gemini put them within striking distance of winning against the Derby Lost year scored goals and 19 assists In 36 games for be in bis rookie season lie wai nominated as the Central League Rookie of the Year and woo the Gemini Most Improved Pla awa ATTITUDE Kennedy baa a good team attitude became played with to many different Uncinates and been shifted around at different positions with the Gem Russian says The ityear old born In Georget and hat played minor rep hockey until he was a Midget Two tiring minor hockey consist to Hani Leaf Garden for the Tunny Tyke tournament and winning the Sihrentick tournament a a Midget During the finals in Sarrua Kennedy was Injured during the first period of the first game on the first shift He remembers the agony of sitting out with a bruised tall bone from a fall when he wanted to be skating with his team in the championships Last year Kennedy tried out with the Markham of the Junior Tier II division but was a late cut The are affiliated with the Toronto Marlboro which meant their late cuts went to Kennedy spent the remainder of the season with the Junior B Gemlnis and he t try out with any other team in ier II NO PRESSURE As a leading scorer on the team last year Kennedy says he felt prcssur and takes each game as it cornea He says be more c with helping the team out than individual goal scoring The need to Improve on their hustle and Kenne dy says The foot winger fat pleased with the change new coach Jules Russian has brought to the Jules is a motivator The guys want to play for him Kennedy says The team is also netting more for gaiies by talking it up he says Kennedy Is hoping for a hockey scholarship and right now he has been contacted by the Union College New York Union has asked for his SAT test and a schedule of when the Gemlnis are playing next In school Kennedy enjoyed lish Marketing and Woodworking This year Kennedy is taking the year off while working at Joe Gulf He is taking a night school course In com put or science at Sheridan College to familioriie himself the Geminis lose 70 to The Gerogetown Junior B Geminis were blanked Sunday in their home game encounter against Barrie The Colts overpowered the Gems in the game With injuries to only Paul White coach Russian fault the availability of the players or the of Wayne Cowley The team Just playing to capacity The enthusiasm and desire is not there the coach said KF The team just want to win bad enough and discipline was sorely lacking Russian said The coach has decided if the boys that are not giving per cent they 11 be silting out the next game After six with the Russian said he has given the benefit of the doubt to the players and some have improved desire to win The local Junior team t carry out their assignments and the defence and forwards just t doing their Russianl said and development of children There some Interesting work being done on the development of bones by Stuart Whoston of the University of Saskatchewan a radiographer and he has looked at ray plates of children that have had weight bearing and stress put on their bones and those children who have been bed ridden he found that the calcium deposit In the bone is much less than in those children that haven t taken weight on their bone and hut conclusion is that exercise is as Important as milk in the formation of normal healthy bones The Herald Would yon say there is lets in physical activity these Dr I think In many ways we re responsible for that We re tended to take the natural things hat children do and super structure them at a very early age and I think It to the detriment of the child I concerned very much high level sport but 1 also concerned that we try to force kids too early try to them before they re mentally socially physically ready for these things In fact frustrate them and they don t produce the skills that they could do and I think perhaps we ve ganlsed our kids so they now don know how to play I teach a course called theories of play and one of the things we do Is look at street games It seems that when you look across the world there were typical street games we can remem ber Most of them have little rhyming sayings and such but kids don seem to play those as much There are kid in the school playground who play Jumpsy and do some skipping but there s not as many games as there used to be nt handle spontaneous play If they a It they can get out Where once they ore organised if they con handle it they have a tantrum and make a big deal of It So they never Interaction give and take And there ore also Intellectual thing so play Is probably one of the truest forms of learning that a young child can go through The Herald How had fee teach ing physical education changed since you were a Are the goal alms and philosophies the Dr I think as you look education roots in many ways In physical training that sort of drill Instruction from the army where everyone did the same thing As physical education come to realize that kids were different and learned in different ways we ve gone away from the regimented everyone do the same thing If you can think back to the film TO the way we organize kids at the moment if they fail the crowds yell and scream at them and they say wont try that again I think its often that through spontaneous play that Initiative and Innovation develops in a child Many of the star hockey players learned their hockey on the pond playing pickup hockey and there had to develop control of the stick and they started to try things and it matter if they failed Whereas the way if they fail the crowds yell and scream them and they say I won t try that again One of the things that separates the excellent from the other players is the number of tricks that theyva done They try one It t work they try another It the mediocre player that has two or tricks and if they don t work they have nothing Kids learn many things from spontaneous play They learn physic sorts of skills they learn also bow to get along with other people And again the situation to not too hard for SIR WITH LOVE they had a typical gymnasium scene in which the physed instructor was by the box horse and everyone was lined up and waiting their turn Hopefully a class now you don t see lineups you don see everyone doing the same thing It recognizes that everyone is different and an individual The tasks set ore openended enough so the excellent child can progress at their rate and child won t be frustrated Perhaps physical education for all one of the prime goals One of the key problems at the moment particularly elementary school is that teachers don have enough background to teach a dally class of physical edu In many ways It s unfortunate the kids like physical the teacher can throw out Continued on page Bl
