About Pursuit PE


What is Pursuit PE?

Pursuit PE is a weekly newsletter for PE teachers and Strength & Speed coaches who want to build programs that actually work inside the school day.

Not private facilities.
Not college weight rooms.
Not ideal conditions.

Real schools.
Bell schedules.
Large classes.
Shared spaces.
Limited time.
Mixed training ages.

Every weekend, you’ll get clear thinking, practical tools, and proven systems you can use immediately — without overcomplicating your program.

Pursuit PE is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.


Who This Is For

PE Teachers
Who want structured, engaging Strength & Speed classes — not random workouts.

Strength & Speed Coaches
Balancing multi-sport athletes, in-season demands, and limited training windows.

Educators & Coaches
Who care about developing confident, capable, and resilient students — not just checking boxes.

If you’re trying to do this work well inside real school constraints, you’re in the right place.


The Problems We Solve

Pursuit PE exists because school-based programs face challenges most content ignores.

If you’ve ever felt:

  • Stuck running the same sessions because planning time is limited

  • Frustrated by inconsistent effort, buy-in, or progress

  • Overwhelmed trying to train large groups with different abilities

  • Unsure how to track progress or show value to administrators

You’re not alone — and you don’t need more complexity.

You need clear systems that scale.
