- Physical education has a transcendent value that is often undervalued, including social, intellectual and academic spaces. Why is it so often the first area to be cut when looking at courses to prepare students for thriving futures? William E. Simon, Jr. is the co-founder of UCLA Health Sound Body Sound Mind, a program he began with his wife Cindy Simon in 1998, dedicated to fighting childhood obesity by providing state-of-the-art fitness equipment, a comprehensive curriculum, and professional development for PE programs. He is the author of, "Break a Sweat, Change Your Life" urging the need the for physical education in schools and championing fitness among youth. Mr. Simon is an Assistant Adjunct Professor in both the Department of Economics and the Law School at UCLA, and a a partner at Massey Quick Simon, a wealth management firm. In 2018, Mr. Simon was awarded the UCLA Marty Sklar My Last Lecture Award, and several honorary degrees. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

thanks !!! you saved us
Marissa C now you are the real mvp
The hero well didn't ask for but needed so badly
I am a PE teacher and I am very proud of it, I have a lot of terrible social and financial familial problems in my life but during my lessons I forget everything, because I know the importance of every minute of my lessons in the life of these students and they should learn the most amount of information. I feel that this is the true meaning of my life
Thank you William E. Simon! I am a high school P.E. teacher fighting the battle to keep daily physical education relevant for district officials! Thanks so much!!

The biggest issue I have found with physical education classes is that they don't actually teach fitness, it is just a place to learn about sports. And those are two different things. JFK's physical fitness push was exemplified with La Sierra High School. If you look at what they were doing, they had at least half of their PE time focused on strength and conditioning exercises, what we now call calisthenics, and you had to be active then to earn the time to play. Most of the time spent in modern activity-based PE classes is spent waiting for turns to play, idle time on fields, and little education in long term fitness exercises. I cannot speak for William Simon Jr's program, it sounds like it isn't just a "get up and play" program, but that is what I saw a lot of in schools I attended and visited.
True. PE classes are just a “filler” time for other academic subject teachers to have a planning. At my school we try to stress both fitness and games (whether that be through activities or sports). There is a lot of waiting time due to lack of equipment, space, and class sizes. Also I find that so many students deal with anxiety of having to move their bodies in front of their peers. I wish it was different but I’m not sure what the solution is?
for my experience, the anxiety comes from not being fit. PE doesn' t get you fit, you have to get yourself fit for PE. I believe this would be solved if PE classhad enough focus on fitness instead of games. as it is now it's like a competition, but it should really be more like _training_ for one
Today's PE education is a lot different then in years past in a lot of schools The focus is on the individual and not just the whole class and more skills are learned and not just playing ball games. It's sad though because a lot of schools are still like that.
Physical education Build a good character in an individual...I AM A PHYSICAL EDUCATION and I have proud to take care of every single child of mine..and I really happy when they care by themselves...that's what we built in every individual that they should care by themselves properly..
Very inspiring! I just got hired as a PE instructor for middle school. Each class only gets 1 gym session per week.
This is absolute gold! As a Phys Ed teacher this means so much! I believe what I’m teaching my kids is as important as anything else
I am currently working on becoming a physical education teacher and this is extremely motivational for me. I agree with the thought that physical education should be a core class just like Math, English, and Science. The fact that it is not is very unfortunate because it is most important that as humans we have a solid understanding of how to get healthy and then keep ourselves healthy as we grow older. We need to do better, support our subject, and fight for it. Physical Education is just as important as everything else we learn in school.
Thanks for writing out my discussion assignment for me 🎉
PE isn't about just sports or building athletes, it about stimulating individuals and promoting healthy lifestyles. I love this video!
Yes! I'm so happy to see people talking about how importante is PE for our lives.
Shut up
peram xd
using this in my essay
Thank you, u helped me and my thoughts
Fantastic lecture Mr William Simon! I hope your words touch a lot of minds.
I am a high school physical education teacher and I am going to have me students watch this as we start the school year in virtual mode. Great video! Thanks!
@Bret 1959 Bring a towel and take a shower?
@Bret 1959 Yes, that happened a lot in those days. Same with me when I was in junior high in the late 60's...but, it has changed for the good over the last 20-25 years or so. You are so right about the genetic lottery of highly skilled and athletic body type kids. But today a lot of the focus is on the unskilled and the unfit! Much better in today's PE teaching.
This is likely wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too boring for kids to watch. This should be for you to watch and incorporate this video into your lessons in a meaningful way (and fun if you can)
I can watch 16 episodes of drama in a day for leisure purposes but can't barely finish less than 20 minute video like this for homework... seriously, what am I doing in my life?!
Lmfaoo sameee
lol, Its because this is boring, lol, I could watch the mandelorian or jepardy over and over
Same hahaa
Lack of basic self discipline
Thank YOU sir!!!!! Our profession is STILL underestimated !
THANK YOU!!!!!
Way to go Bill Simon! Obesity, and so many other childhood health issues, is so easily addressed by a regular fitness program. Nevertheless, we cut fitness programming for those that need it the most and concentrate already inadequate funding to the high profile team sports that benefit less than 10% of K thru 12 students. Your program is the only one in Los Angeles that is holistically addressing the issue. Thank You!
Hello ur probably here cuz of ur phe teacher so here are my answer cuz ik ur lazy
What benefits does exercising have on your body based on the ted talk:
“Exercise is miracle grow for the brain”
It exercise optimises your mindset
It improves your awareness and motivation
Exercise help cells bind together
Exercise helps create new nerve cells
My “reflection”:
I really like the ted talk it was quite informative and easy to understand. I didn’t get distracted because he kept talking about new facts and i will definitely take these points into consider next time i plan a workout.
Thanks, 'preciate it.
I can’t believe ppl are actually using this😭
I am Soo proud of u sir....

Brilliant - Inspiring - Common Sense. The love of being active has to be linked to fun & enjoyment. I'm in there doing my bit to foster this love of movement :)
Thank you for this excellent video.
Thanks for inspiring us Sir!
Yes, i’m a student. yes, i was assigned this.....but even then, it’s very much true and kinda fun to listen to.
I'm sharing this video to my PE and BPED students of Tagoloan Community College.
After watching this lecture, I realized the importance of physical education.
And I agree with the speaker in this lecture because I have felt that physical education is treated as less important than other academic subjects.
And as the speaker said, I think the most important subject in my studies is physical education.
I think physical education is more important because it is directly related to health.
After watching this video, I thought I should work harder on P.E -10502-
When will TED himself show up to the talk?
ikr, he must have some serious stage fright problems. It's been like almost a decade and we haven't seen him yet.

I am a PE teacher who just finished my 5th year. I try my best to lead by example and show my students that I practice what I preach. I make videos on my channel if me doing tricks and basketball dunks for fun and my students love them. I remember when I was younger how my PE teachers were obese and would roll the ball out and did not teach us anything! As I got older and knew what my purpose was, I knew I would change that narrative of the lazy PE teacher. To any PE teachers who are reading this, change the world! Our subject doesn’t have the respect is deserves but in the classroom we can still make a difference.
Watching this for my (sports science with physical education) exam next week, wish me luck
Now- I'm here because this is our homework 😭 y'all have a summary for this? Tomorrow is the deadline of our homework
Right I need a summary too
same
someone bless me with a summary
This is such a great motivator for me to really consider exercising everyday, especially if it really helps with my education
Forever glad I opted out of gym class in middle and high school.
Best decision of my life.
Fortunately, I work out more than the average person could ever dream of, I have just started focusing on it and these benefits are OP
I'm just here because we need to do a reaction paper for this 😅😂 but, I find it very informative.
*I thought I was going to watch a 5 minute vid by the P.E. teacher NOT THIS*
Preach
. Quality of student learning is directly related to quality of teaching.
2. The first step in getting useful feedback about course goal is to make these goals explicit
Ano kaya ibig sabhin nito pahelp guys
Proud to be a physical education student..
I agree that Physical Education is one of the most important subjects to be learned, it should be. Even though not as a subject but as a core part of our daily lives as a means for taking care of ourselves.
STEALING
Love how its actually been proven that screens can help you in more than one way like video games help with teamwork and eye coordination so its not that bad.
And gamers don't want to cut the art club in the name of the football team like in every highschool movie
Shout out sa mga classmates ko dyang nanonood ngayon dahil assignment ito sa PE😆
This is FACTS! I 150% agree with this
PE needs to be daily, it needs to support the kinetic chain of children's development so must ensure that all children suppress retained primitive reflexes, it needs to be reported on and assessed separately as in Slovenia (see Slofit programme) included PE teacher, parent/carer, and doctor.
I thought PE was daily. Maybe it's just the schools I've gone to

Henlo sa mga tiga UPB riyan para sa activity 💓
In Hungary there is a 'daily p.e.' program as part of the curriculum for every student every grades up to graduation. I teach pe and I can tell if it taught right it reallly has all the benefits he has just mentioned.
Gym teachers: Thinking that we are being productive watching this video
What really is happening: Us vibing in the comment section
I'm a PE teacher watching so I can assign it to my students! I'm glad to see so many others assigning it as well!
Why?

Great speech
Then can someone explain to me why most pe teachers are overweight
great observation🤔😂
they don't follow what they teach, simple as that. but being healthy doesn't mean just being ripped or having the best body, being healthy comes in different ways :)
how is being overweight healthy? I understand that you can be healthy in other ways but If they are overweight that isn’t good for their bodys.
"Coaches dont play" HAHAHAHA
most Americans are overweight, PE teachers are part of that population. Weight gain has many factors. Sad that you are all so willing to be so dismissive!
I don't want to do my work can someone help me out and write a summary about this for me.
@Salty Boi how about reflection ot this?
Very very true
Amazing talk
I would have to argue that PE is only a positive thing for specific people, people don't need it to be healthy, I don't participate in PE at all and I'm still healthy, I maintain a good balanced diet and a good weight and I get in good exercise outside of the rather toxic environment of my local district's gym classes with teachers who are often worse bullies than the other students
Depends on how the class is ran
view p.e not as it is, but as it could be.
@@ben-qm2ge what it could be is optional. Forcing neurodivergant students like me into an overstimulating and toxic environment is never a good idea.
He is Speaking Facts Tho PE Helps You be healthy. it helps in the long run
Thats truth no matter how good at math, science or how succesfull you are in other aspects, if you dont exercise it would not help a long in the long run
@@alexrobles9708 So true
My gym teachers don’t care about us at all. They just let us stand there if we want to and they don’t make us interested in the sports whatsoever. So we don’t have to exercise to become more healthy and it’s not fun. I wish we did more workouts that could actually help, can be applied at home, and is personalized to the student’s interests rather than making us (or in my case, not making us) only do sports.
william simon nambawan
Whyyyyyy can’t corona go away so I can play dodgeball for PE instead of watching this?
Though, we would want that idea, the speaker in this video is good though~ Really worth watching ^~^
BatStateU IT 1104 kawaaaay!
Very impressive❤
sooo I don't know he's on about, but he spittin
In our Class we thought that PE can promotes Physical and Emotional Health instead it promotes stress , we dont know why things like this happened.. Maybe our teacher is pushing us to do this do that every week with dance video compilation.. Or us who.overthink too much because of our situation. We sre struggling with the subject and hopefully our teacher can understand us.. 😑
it test your mind and body
who else got a google doc on this answering questions
