“The PETE program gives me the chance to teach kids about something that applies to everyone-health,sports, and fun.”
-JON JANSEN, PETE Program
“I chose this major because I want to make a difference in people’s lives and believe that it starts with our young people. Physical Education is my kind of thing. I love being active and learning and growing as both a student and a person. I was always told that if you like what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life and that’s how I feel about PE. My future career plans are to teach PE in the inner city and to coach either basketball or baseball at the highest level possible.”
-KOLE ROLSTEN, PETE Major
“I chose this major because I’m passionate about making a positive impact on today’s youth. I love this major because it’s so fun and I can’t wait to teach and coach in the future.”
-KAYLEE KOKER, PETE Major
“I chose the PETE program because I wanted to carry on my love for sports and working with children. I like this major because it allows you, your classmates, and your professors all to become close with one another while you complete your degree. It also does a great job of preparing you for your future career. My plans after graduation are to become a physical education teacher and coach someday as well.”
-MIKE POWERS, PETE Major
“I chose physical education because I have known that I wanted to do something related to sports and physical activity since high school, and there are multiple teachers in my family who suggested studying physical education. My favorite part about the major is how interactive it is. I like that every class is not a lecture and that we get to actually go out and practice teaching and applying what we learned in class. After graduation, I want to get a job as a physical education teacher either around Columbus or back home in Connecticut while also coaching high school sports.”
