We live in a society with many challenges and problems inherent to the lack of personal fitness, physical activity, and attention to our physical well-being.
Today’s physical education college majors of today must be educated as professionals for all students K-12 in their physical education classes, and must also be educated for the prospective majors in fitness, recreation, athletic training, coaching, personal training, sports management and marketing, corporate fitness, adult education, and many other tangent fields.
The new third edition of Tom Rogan’s The Profession of Physical Education introduces new and returning students to the profession of Physical Education with all its dynamic and related fields. This edition includes much updated information and major developments of the profession to fulfill the requirements of today’s students’ ever changing and diverse subject matter and content.
