Former PE teacher. Started The PE Geek back in 2008 after a student called me the PE geek — and I figured I'd own it. What started as a blog turned into a podcast, then apps, then in-person workshops in over 40 countries.
Today that 17-year body of work lives as ConnectedPE — one platform with every tool I've built for PE teachers, refined from a million conversations with the people who actually use them.
When I started writing, there was no playbook — no apps, no podcasts, no community. The whole space had to be invented. Every tool you'll see below was built from inside that 17-year conversation with PE teachers around the world. Most are free or freemium, because that's how teachers actually adopt things.
17 years of notes, tools, experiments, and conversations with PE teachers around the world.
