VIRTUAL learning for sports and physical education will highlight the Philippine Sports Commission’s (PSC) “Rise Up Shape Up” edition on Saturday.
The online program will showcase the different stories and insights of sports educators and women coaches in the new normal mode of learning caused by the global health crisis.
University of the Philippines Community Recreations Director and UP College of Human Kinetics Assistant Professor Michiko Aseron will talk about Kinetika Online, a public service of the university that encourages people to do exercise during the lockdown.
“The web series does not only promote balance in physical, mental, and emotional health but also supports the promotion of sports on a digital platform,” PSC Women in Sports Oversight Commissioner Celia Kiram said.
Joining Aseron in the episode is Dr. Jenny Lee Victor-Esiong of the Benguet State University Institute of Human Kinetics. She will discuss strategies in transforming online classes to a better platform for sports and movement
Esiong serves as the university’s dancesport coach since 2008 and was a former dance troupe member, varsity basketball and soccer player having competed nationally from 1998 to 2002.
De La Salle University faculty member Karina Crisostomo will also give tips on Managing Stress in Online Learning.
“The PSC women in sports program wanted to highlight our women educators, coaches, and athletes to inspire young girls to get active and be involved in sports as a form of empowerment,” Kiram said.
