As Executive Director of the Birmingham Athletic Partnership, I will encourage
the ten inner-city, public high schools' in Birmingham, Alabama to get
physically active by providing new and safer athletic equipment and other much
needed items to these outstanding students by requests from their coaches, cheerleading sponsors and band directors. I am also a director on Governor Bob Riley's Commission on Physical Fitness and Sports and making as many people aware that May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, has been productive.
GameTime will provide motivational seminars around the US to groups (like Kiwanis, Park and Rec, schools, architects) who are interested in learning about the effects that free play can have on childhood obesity. Through our independent research with experts like Dr. Joe Frost and Dr. Louis Bowers, we have learned the tremendous effect that 30 minutes of free play per day can have in advancing a child’s caloric burn to the Surgeon General’s recommended daily expenditure, as well as developing strength and coordination skills. We also make available to interested parties the executive summaries on all our play studies.
The Get Fit objective is to create a healthier America by getting young people and their communities excited about health and fitness through the development and deployment of innovative new media which provides the tools and knowledge needed to live a positive and healthy lifestyle. This unique content will be delivered by relevant and scalable mediums, including: Interactive traveling road show, school based curriculum programs, E-mail, Text, Video Mail, and an Interactive web based platform.
The Get Fit Road Show is an exciting, interactive production which travels the country getting young people and their communities excited about health and fitness. This population and evidence based program is a free field trip program for schools and communities, and will be seen by more than 1 million people in as many as 25 markets each year. The Get Fit Road Show will collaborate with community partners, political leaders, and the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports members to create an “Edutainment” experience for hundreds of thousands of people that will get them excited about health and fitness while motivating them to adopt healthier lifestyle habits.
