Reminders for PRRS in PE!
Reminders for PRRS in PE!
Wow! It's hard to believe we're now halfway through the year! Here's just a few reminders that will help you be successful in PE:
Wear good gym shoes every time you have PE: This is better for you and your own movement, as well as being better for our gym floor.
Wear clothes that you can easily move and stretch in: t-shirts are GREAT, most shorts and pants are GREAT; if you decide to wear a skirt, make sure to wear shorts underneath.
BRING A WATER BOTTLE!! Guess what?? you're going to get thirsty in PE :) Having your water with you lets you stay hydrated without missing out on our learning!!
Stay fit and stay healthy Kyffin Cougars!

About Mr Kinner
About Mr Kinner
It's hard to believe that I am now in my 22nd year as a PE teacher! I love teaching PE; My passion is personal health and fitness, and I strive to pass that passion on to all of our students here at Kyffin. I'm excited as I start my 9th year here at Kyffin!
Personally, my favorite physical activity is running. I am an endurance FREAK!! I enjoy running all distances, but my favorite runs are those I can measure in hours (and even days) rather than minutes :) I've completed too many marathons to count, more than a few triathlons, and This fall, I hope to finish my 12th 100 mile trail running race at the RUN RABBIT RUN 100 in Steamboat, COLORADO!!
I've learned many important things while running and supporting in these EPIC events. THREE of my favorites are:
1. GRIT & GUTS! The resolve to keep going, no matter how difficult the challenge. This applies to LIFE, not just running crazy long races.

To me this is the core of the GROWTH MINDSET.
Everyone is faced with opportunities to quit, every day; it's when we choose to NOT quit that we learn a LOT about ourselves, and we GROW!
Think about taking the words "I can't" out of your vocabulary. I truly believe that we all have limitless potential to do things that seem impossible. Most of all, we just need to BELIEVE IN OURSELVES!
2. Mistakes are REQUIRED to help us learn and grow!
Do you think I know everything about endurance running, now that I've run so many Marathons and Ultramarathons? NOPE!!
In fact, I still make SO MANY mistakes EVERY TIME I go out there! I try to use each mistake to help me LEARN and GROW. Most of the time, I get smarter and stronger because of my mistakes, but...... even though I try not to make the same mistake again, sometimes I still do! AND THAT'S PART OF LEARNING TOO!!
3. Knowing that you need help, and asking for it is not a sign of weakness- it's a sign of STRENGTH!!

I know for certain I could not have finished these events without the love and support of my family and friends. Whenever I get really tired and just want to quit- when I made a mistake (big or small), it's ALWAYS the support of my crew that got me through it. I ASKED FOR HELP AND IT MADE ME STRONGER!
When you start with a "CAN DO" attitude, BRAVERY to take chances and make mistakes; you mix in a little GRIT, and HELP FROM YOUR CREW you might surprise yourself about what you CAN do!! Now, go out and change your world!!
