I just drove all over Australia because school was out

On: October 21, 2018

My wife and I just finished driving all over Australia. I have not been very good at doing any updates on here and I apologize. The past few weeks have been quite hectic with my first ever trip to China, backpack hiking in Canada, filming an ad for a new cell phone and spending almost a month in Australia. Stuff has been happening. I would like to say that I have all of my jump rope trips planned out a year in advance. That I have shows scheduled at schools constantly and that life as a performer is super easy and fun! This is farRead More →

We used Peter's visit to kick-start our Jump Rope For Heart Event for our 6th and 7th grade students, but the assembly contributed a lot more to our students than we ever expected. Peter Nestler had every class actively engaged and excited about jumping rope. He not only amazed students with his free style jump roping, unicycle jump rope tricks, and glow in the dark performance but he delivered a strong message as well. He inspired students to set goals, make a plan, and practice until your desired goal is achieved. This message is something that will be useful to students throughout not only their middle school years but their entire life.
Since Peter's visit we have started to incorporate jump roping as warm ups every day in our classes. The students are excited to be jump roping and are disappointed if we skip a day for a different activity. Many students are attempting some of the tricks that were showcased through the assembly and the interest level has increased tremendously. We are doing our best to continue to reinforce the message that Peter delivered and teach our students that they can do anything they set their mind to as long as they take the appropriate steps. Peter Nestler's performance was entertaining, engaging, and had some of our students on the edge of their seats throughout the entire performance. We hope that he can come back in the future and help further inspire our students.
