SCHOOL PROGRAMS
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A RESIDENCY?
Students will be instructed by Coach Albert Haynes while exploring aspects of physical fitness and making healthy choices. During the students’ regular P.E. class time, or as a before- or after-school activity, this program will allow students to participate in this fun, energetic, and positive educational journey. Students will explore how physical fitness helps the body and mind grow, and relieves anxiety and stress while developing healthy habits.
Instructor and Coach, Albert Haynes, has many goals for his students. He wants students to be open-minded, build self-confidence, and ignite curiosity. There will be instruction and discussions on the anatomy of the body, healthy food choices, and proper stretching. Students will experience how fitness is a social outlet as well as an outlet to relieve anxiety and stress. The result is a release of endorphins and bright smiles!
A variety of levels of fitness will be instructed throughout the residency. Students will learn and perform basic and advanced moves that can be made into simple sequences and isolated body patterns. Motor skills and movement patterns will be emphasized and will challenge the students. Strengthening of the body’s physical systems will be achieved.
