A Team Huddle is where you discuss a specific sports or fitness topic with the rest of the class. Read through the discussion topic thoroughly, then post your thoughts on the appropriate discussion board. Write at least one well-developed paragraph. As this is a discussion, don’t forget to respond to at least two other students as well. Please be courteous and use proper netiquette. For more detailed instructions on the Team Huddle, please refer to the appropriate lessons under the Course Introduction.

Team Huddle 1.1: Agility vs. Health

Jan can hit a softball farther than anyone on her team. She can also catch almost any fly ball. However, Jan is not a fast runner and she gets winded running around the bases. She also has a hard time touching her toes.

Jan has great motor skills, sometimes known as agility or athleticism. However, Jan’s health-related skills, such as her cardio-endurance or flexibility, are not as strong.

Do you think it is more important to be athletic or to be healthy? Explain your reasoning why?
