In this episode, I’m joined by Brian Crane, a veteran PE teacher with over 20 years of experience across elementary, middle, and high school levels. Brian currently teaches at East Valley Academy in the Mesa School District and brings a wealth of practical wisdom, humor, and heart to the conversation.
We discuss:
Communicating clear expectations for student behavior
Creating and reinforcing class rules
Building mutually respectful relationships with students
Reducing student anxiety in PE
Planning for the first week of school
Setting boundaries around cell phone use
The benefits of small-sided modified activities
Motivation strategies for secondary students
Effective end-of-class routines
Brian shares actionable advice and reflections from two decades in the field — a must-listen for any secondary PE teacher preparing for the year ahead.

My new book, Becoming a Distinguished Physical Education Teacher, is available on Amazon.
