Education

I didn't know that I had fallen in love with motor behavior when I was 19 years old and teaching half my hometown to swim. I just knew that I loved the moment when the kids "got it" and finally started swimming, rather than thrashing about in the water. Motor behavior is the study of the intersection between physical size, growth, practice, culture, and experience. It informs how we move, why we move, and what happens when we move. I am fortunate that a large part of my professional life is spent teaching college students motor behavior, both through a traditional academic class and through an afterschool program in which the students and I provide instruction in motor and social skills.
