“San Antonio Sports’ mission is to transform our community through the power of sport. Sport has the power to transform individuals, neighborhoods and entire communities. Research shows there is a connection between children participating in sports and adults experiencing professional and personal success,” said Carolyn Wheat, public relations manager for the local organization.
The videos are directed by athletes at the top of their sport:
-
Soccer unit is led by former MLS player Michael Lahoud
-
Follow exercises from US track and field athlete Kendra Chambers
-
basketball videos from former WNBA All-Star Sophia Young-Malcom
-
Volleyball session from five-time Olympian Danielle Scott
-
The Alpha Warrior Jr. unit from American ninja warriors Kevin Klein and Tawnee Leonardo.
The professionally developed instructional videos were initially made available to local physical education teachers as a free resource for distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, while helping to meet the need for quality physical education instruction.
“These videos are a way to level the playing field and we’re grateful to KSAT 12 for sharing them on KSAT Kids so more kids can experience the power of sport,” said Wheat.
You can find the instructional videos in the KSAT Kids section of our website and in our free KSAT Kids newsletter. The clips can be viewed weekdays at 9:00 am on KSAT 12 on GMSA.
