| Applying the Multiple Intelligence Theory to Teaching Tennis |
| As a teacher or coach, you have probably noticed the differences in the physical and mental abilities of your students. In 1983, Gardner proposed that there were many different ways to demonstrate intellectual ability. In order to optimize the teaching/learning environment for mental and/or motor skills, a teacher/coach must be able to identify and teach to these abilities by utilizing highly correlated activities. The purpose of this session is to (a) provide an overview of eight of the nine identified multiple intelligences and (b) provide examples of secondary-level tennis activities and strategies, many of which integrate several intelligences simultaneously. |
