Bret McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

When it comes to physical education in our country schools, parents, teachers, and administrators

alike typically placed at the bottom of their list of priorities.

Something to fit in a budget, time, and academic standards allow.

My guess, however, so that Pee should be thought of as the most important component of education.

And it's critical not only in ensuring the lifetime health of our kids, but even attaining

those fondant academic standards too.

His name is Dr. Daniel O'Neill, and he's North of the P.D.

exergeon, a sports psychologist, and the author of Survival of the Fit.

Today on the show, Dr. Dan lays out how a lack of physical activity is creating problems

in kids from obesity to anxiety and preventing the development of what he calls a physical

identity.

He explains the way the huge number of our kids who don't see themselves as athletes end

up not pursuing physical activity at all, and why he thinks school-sponsored sports are

only contributing to this problem.

Dr. Dan takes us back to a time in our history and physical education was prioritized, and

we discuss what's wrong with modern Pee and how it can be improved.

Dan makes an argument for why Pee should be the main foundational thing focused on

in schools today, and what people can do to push to make that happen.

After the show's over, check out our show notes at a-wim.is slash Pee.

Alright, Dr. Daniel O'Neill, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much, Fred, my pleasure.
