The Primary PE Podcast

by Mark Carter

THE PRIMARY PE PODCAST is for teachers, coaches, headteachers - and especially PE Subject Leads at primary schools. I work for Ministry of Football and the Football Association's PE Unit. My passion is play and - in particular - the joy and connection that happen when people come together to play and move. I am an ex-teacher, with a degree in statistics, and a background in coaching, mentoring and tutoring. The England FA is the third national governing body for football that I have worked for (previously I have worked in Papua New Guinea and New Zealand).
