Jessica Laing: Athlete of the Week

Congratulations go to Jessica Laing, current junior PE Major. Laing, hailing from Bloomville, NY was the athlete of the week three times over the past couple of months. As part of a teaching methods class, Jessica had to blog about her teaching experiences and she wrote:

"Overall, I liked how this Lab went. I was a little nervous at first but once I started I felt fine. After looking back to previous teaching lessons, I feel I have improved and hopefully I keep improving so I can be a great Physical Educator."
