My name is Dr. Joe Deutsch, Ph.D. and I am an Associate Professor in the department of Health, Nutrition, & Exercise Sciences at North Dakota State University. My focus area is in Physical Education Pedagogy, having taught in the public school for 6 years before coming to NDSU. I am considered an expert in the Physical Best curriculum which focuses on lifelong physical education for youth. This curriculum includes everything from developing a fitness plan to healthy food choices. Physical Education teachers too often focus on sport while we train our students to focus on developing all students to become physically active adults who make sound food choices.
