From PE Dread to Delight: Transforming Young People's Experiences in Physical Education
For many young people, physical education is more a source of stress than enjoyment-often marked by anxiety, frustration, and disengagement. When PE becomes overly focused on sport performance or rigid teaching methods, it can alienate students and create lasting negative associations with physical activity.

From PE Dread to Delight challenges this narrative. This practical and inspiring guide explores how PE can be transformed into an inclusive, engaging, and meaningful experience for every student. Drawing on the expertise of leading practitioners as well as renowned PE researchers, the book offers a rich blend of insight and application backed by both research and successful practical strategies.

Structured around twelve impactful chapters, the book reimagines physical education through the lens of the D.R.E.A.D. to D.E.L.I.G.H.T. framework. Each chapter addresses a core issue in PE today, providing clear, actionable strategies to move practice towards a deeper purpose, stronger student connection, finding meaning and joy in movement.

From rethinking curriculum to revitalising pedagogy, From PE Dread to Delight equips educators with the tools to transform PE from a dreaded obligation into a subject students look forward to, that truly inspires a positive and lifelong relationship with movement.
