Welcome to PEPEPTalk where Physical Education Teachers are celebrated, validated and praised for the work they do each day to help motivate and educate our nation's children to lead a healthy and active lifestyle today and for the rest of their lives. This project has been initiated by Bob Knipe who has seen highly qualified, hard-working and award-winning teachers be under-appreciated and disrespected by their schools and community. To help them keep the fire burning PEPEPTalk has been engaging well-known names in industry, academia, pop culture, research, and athletics in order for them to share why they appreciate the work that Physical and Health Education Teachers do for the youth of our nation. See the current PEPEPTalkers, including Dr Kenneth Cooper, Dick Fosbury, Gail Devers, Manteo Mitchell, Kevin Carroll, Dr John Medina and Shannon Miller.

Become a PEPEPTalk Ambassador
The ambassador Facebook group is a place for people who align with this mission to share posts, with the hopes of encouraging all the members to be advocates/ambassadors in their own communities. There are no requirements, just a desire to be a PE Geek and a hope that together we can move the needle.
As a PEPEPTalk Ambassador you also have the opportunity to represent PEPEPTalk when reaching out to potential PEPEPTalkers. You will help introduce PEPEPTalks (including why there is a need for pep talk for Health and Physical Educators), sharing how they can contribute and laying out how their PEPEPTalk will be shared with Health and Physical Education Teachers and the world. However, you will not be doing this on your own or without support and resources. Founder Bob Knipe will be available to take emails, phone calls, and in person if need be.
