In this article it talks about the preparation practices that physical education teachers have to take
to fulfill the requirements to become a physical education teacher. There are some colleges that
require you to complete coaching credits. The schools that are offering less advanced degrees
have to complete a coaching credit and a participation credit as well. Even though some of the
graduates have a lower degree then some of the other coaches, the teachers with a lower degree
can go more in depth with the activities. One study was hand on with the teacher assistants, they
got to teach different activities other than football, soccer, volleyball, and softball. There are so
many college that offer different degrees in physical education, there are 484 of the best ones.
