Episode #23 Back to school. PE, ECA's and competitive sport for children with James Bedford

Great episode with James Bedford who is the director of sport at Kings Al Barsha school in Dubai. I wanted to dig a little bit deeper into the sport, physical education and exercise in schools and what is being done to promote more physical activity and a healthier lifestyle. James talks about some of the important factors that need to be considered for children and teenagers when providing sport and physical education in schools, such as enjoyment, progression pathways and the importance of a role model were just some of the topics we talked about on in this episode. This is also a great podcast to listen to if you are a parent and sometimes feel confused about the differences between school sports and extracurricular sports and what is perhaps best suited for your child.
