Why do football players wear helmets? What is the main reason for stretching before a game? What does the glass around the rink provide for the fans watching the game?
SAFETY!
Tomorrow in science class, we will be discussing saftey procedures, specifically for outdoor activities and fieldwork. As the weather improves and outdoor activities and fieldwork become more practical, we need to first establish some safety rules and procedures, in order to protect ourselves from the elements.
For those of you in the Boy Scouts, this document should be familiar to you. It's it is the Standard Operating Procedures manual used by the Boy Scouts for camping trips and outdoor activities. Familiarize yourself with the sections pertaining outdoor activities. We will review these areas in class and come up with our own manual.
Another relevant example comes from the LiveStrong website, which is a company owned by cyclist Lance Armstrong. Here, they list safety procedures in sports, most of which will keep us safe on our trips and activities as well.
As a fellow coach named Don Cherry always says in order to ensure safety, "Keep your head up, kid!"
