Amanda has been an important member of our #PhysEd network on Twitter. Although I have never met Amanda in person, we have spoken a number of times over the past couple of years on Google Hangout and I feel that I know her. I respect the work she does and am happy that she agreed to contribute a Good Teaching is L.I.F.E reflection. Thanks Amanda.
A Bit About Amanda
Dr. Amanda Stanec was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada where she attended and played soccer for St. Francis Xavier University. Through these years, Amanda developed a strong worth ethic to accompany her active lifestyle, in sport and other physical activities, and positive outlook on life. Amanda moved to the US over 15 years ago to begin her teaching and coaching career. During this time, she also attended graduate school at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Amanda attained a Masters of Science with an emphasis in physical education and sport psychology from VCU.

Here, Amanda was awarded the outstanding doctoral student in the Curry School of Education at UVa in her graduating year (2006).
Amanda’s two biggest successes – by far – are her two young children who inspired ABLE: Education & Wellness Consultants. Through Amanda’s pursuit of modeling an active, productive, and positive life to her children, ABLE was formed.
