Stephen F. Richard
Born in Midland, Michigan, and grew up loving an active lifestyle.
Pole Vaulting, the favored athletic activity
There is nothing I would rather do than pole vault. Defying gravity and within my own power propelling myself up to 16 feet in the air!
My goal is to excite students about being active healthy!
Fishing when there is time...
My favorite pastime is fishing. I love soaking in some vitamin D while enjoying the great outdoors. This activity often leads me to hiking through the woods, paddling a canoe and sometimes going for a swim!
The biking portion of a triathlon
The biking "leg" of the triathlon is my second favorite behind the last event of running. This is one of the eight triathlons I have participated in.
Hopefully I can be an example to my students through the activities I am involved in.
Receiving the NASPE Outstanding Major of the year
I was fortunate enough to receive the award of outstanding major of the year because of my participation in the MAPHERD conference, involvement in my university PE club, kinesiology club and various activities such as wheel chair rugby, Special Olympics and a biggest loser competition.
Get involved, be active and make a difference.
