Question for Gym Teachers!

Hello Everyone,

I am not a teacher, but am in graduate school currently studying technical entrepreneurship (M.Eng.). As part of one of my research projects, I have to research an industry and look for trends/problems/challenges, etc. within the industry. I have been focusing on the K12 educational landscape for this project.

One of the areas I have noticed that seems to lack the focus and attention other subjects get is physical education. I was just wondering if any phys. ed. teachers would mind posting some of the challenges they currently face every day as an instructor, coach, and teacher.

Some questions to consider:
What are some of the hardest things about your job?

Are there any aspects where you lack support from administration?

Does administration place less emphasis on phys. ed. initiatives?

Do you currently use any sort of technology for perform your job as a phys. ed. teacher?

Are there areas of the job you wish there was an easier way to do it?

How important do you feel physical ed. is for the student's overall performance in the classroom?

Thank you to everyone who posts in advance, I really appreciate it!
