Episode 8 - Jon Redding 23/6/2020

In this episode I speak to Jon Redding, Director of Sport and Extra Curricular Activities and Physical Education teacher at South Island School in Hong Kong which is part of the English Schools Foundation (ESF).

We chat about the disruption of the education system in Hong Kong by COVID19, with reference to Physical Education lessons in particular. We discuss how PE deptartments have adapted and been innovative, especially when it comes to the practical aspect of PE that might not be as important in other subjects.

We talk about the long term athletic development approach in schools and if schools are doing best for students when it comes to participation in team sports. Learn about the exposure to resistance training in schools and how this varies between schools and even within schools themselves based on the teacher experience, the facilities and even the culture in the local community.

Another great guest and some awesome insights into the education system in Hong Kong when it comes to Physical Education.
