"Humiliation in physical education class as a child can turn people off fitness for good, according to a University of Alberta researcher.Teacher not nice to you? You blamey your fatso problems on someone not nice? You show them with harm to yourself, smartie-big-waistband-pants.
Billy Strean, a professor in the U of A's Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation, says a negative lifelong attitude towards physical activity can be determined by either a good or a bad experience, based on the personal characteristics of the coach or instructor. For example, negative experiences may come from a teacher who has low energy, is unfair and/or someone who embarrasses students.
During his research, Strean heard from individuals who opened up about negative experiences with coaches and instructors, some from many years ago."
Shut-up, whiners.
