WIIFM Activity
Gym Class: Volleyball
I remember teaching a gym class. One of my students loved basketball and asked “What’s in it for me” when we were teaching how to set and volley in a volleyball lesson.
The moment that student saw the similarities in elbow and and arm position, transferring good setting fundamentals from volleyball into good basketball shooting form, the student was all-in with the volleyball lesson.
Once the lesson became personally relevant, the student was much more motivated to participate.
