How Physical Education Can Save the Next Generation Rick Vittum

What happens when a seasoned physical educator brings 31 years of experience into a conversation about the future of fitness, wellness, and youth health? In this episode of the Movement Podcast, we sit down with Massachusetts Physical Education Teacher of the Year Rick Vittum to talk about the state of youth movement, what’s broken in the system, and how we can fix it. Rick shares real stories from the trenches of high school PE, how the Functional Movement Screen is changing the game, and why kids need more than just fitness—they need awareness, mentorship, and a physical problem-solving skillset that lasts a lifetime. Whether you're a teacher, coach, parent, or practitioner, this conversation is packed with insights on movement screening in schools, how technology and culture are reshaping physical health, and what the future of PE should look like.
