Listen "Providing Health and Physical Education to At-Risk Children and Teens - Active Plus"
Episode Synopsis
An interview with Tarik Kitson, Founder and Executive Director of Active Plus.But how about those other kids who don't really care about being an athlete, but they have the right to know what it means to live a healthy lifestyle. You don't have to be a basketball player or a soccer player to be active. We want to be able to show them the foundation and the importance of working out, of walking or running, how to do a proper push-up, how to run properly. You don't have to be the next athlete, but this is why you're doing this. I feel like a lot of time kids think, okay, like, I'm running or I'm doing this just to be a basketball player not even thinking that, this is important for you to just live a longer life, live a productive life, live a healthy life.Tarik KitsonActive Plus mission and visionFitness, nutrition, mindfulness, leadership programmingTrain-the-trainer modelCOVID-19 pandemic impact on programmingEmergency response workMeeting students where they areHelping kids live healthy lifestylesAccess to a variety of programmingWorking with community partnersMeasuring successScaling through technologyhttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore
