It's live — tune in now.
Hosts Rachel Naylor, CAE, and Lisa Fall, CMP, sit down with Crystal “Diva” Day, director of athletics and physical education/health district coordinator for Ector County ISD, and John Adams, veteran educator, instructional leader, and 2026 TAHPERD K-12 Administrator of the Year. Crystal and John reflect on how TAHPERD influenced their paths and their shift from teaching and coaching into administrative roles. They explore everyday challenges — practical problem-solving, working within central-office structures, and bridging communication and teacher-preparation gaps. The episode highlights how health and PE shape leadership, the case for advocating physical activity, recess, and student wellness, and the need for leaders to listen to teachers; Crystal and John stress servant leadership, engaging stakeholders, and the supportive, family-like professionalism they’ve found through TAHPERD.
