As a former Olympic Medalist in Cycling and Speed Skating I decided to become a Physical Education Teacher so I could pass on my love of sports and competition. I am excited about the sport of bicycling becoming an accepted Physical Education Life Sport.
I have found the BLAST and Bikeology curricula to meet the National Standards and Common Core and have introduced the curricula at my school.
