Mike’s Approach & Insights
Mike shared his philosophy, approach, and how PLT4M plays a role in his program. Here’s what he had to say:
Goals & Mission
“To empower students to work toward their own personal fitness through diverse physical literacy experiences. To enhance our athletes speed, strength, quickness, and explosiveness that supports our teams and our high expectations.”
How I Use PLT4M
“We use PLT4M as our primary workout system. Students can find a variety of workouts and will log their completed workouts with data that can be ranked and posted.
PLT4M is also viewed and used by our coaches.”
Why I Use PLT4M
“PLT4M is a user-friendly system that has been a reliable partner to teach accountability in our fitness center.
I really like the flexibility of PLT4M, being able to create our own programs, but having a great resource base to look back on. The programs are easy to follow and engaging.
We left a different platform to join PLT4M two years ago and have been very pleased with that change.”
Impact on My Program
“PLT4M has helped me create a PE class that is designed around the idea of student choice.”
Favorite Feature
“The options PLT4M provides for our classroom on a daily basis and the level of support that PLT4M offers.”
