About This Activity
This class is designed to empower students with the knowledge and skills needed to foster a lifelong commitment to physical and mental well-being. This unique course goes beyond traditional P.E. by emphasizing not only physical fitness but also mental and emotional health. Students will engage in a variety of physical activities and exercises that promote cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, and coordination. Moreover, they will explore mindfulness techniques, nutrition, and goal-setting strategies to develop a holistic approach to their overall wellness. With an emphasis on cultivating a growth mindset and resilience, this class encourages students to set and achieve personal fitness goals while enhancing their mental and emotional resilience, ultimately helping them lead healthier and more balanced lives. Instructor: Ernst Joseph (EJ) My name is Ernst Joseph. I am a football coach, track coach, and special educator. I'm currently an assistant track coach at Holly Springs High, an adaptive fitness instructor for special needs children, and a sports trainer for athletes. I am a former athlete with a BA in Sociology and a Master's in Teaching (Special Education). I developed a fitness program for athletes and children with special needs. I modify exercises to fit the needs of the group. I'm currently working in the private sector. In the summer of 2022, I interned with the strength and conditioning staff at NCCU. With the knowledge gained through my previous experiences, I plan on helping children gain a healthy lifestyle and mindset through fitness.
