I recently sat down with Physics educator Doug Petrick and discussed Doug’s journey as an educator and track coach, and how he has brought lessons from the classroom to the track and vice versa. Doug touches upon how he got into teaching, how he views as his role in the classroom, and how he works with student-athletes and physics students to help them achieve their goals.

Doug Petrick holds an Architectural Engineering degree from Pennsylvania State University and a Master of Arts in Teaching from California University of Pennsylvania. He is currently a high school Physics teacher at Upper St. Clair High School in Pittsburgh. Doug regularly contributes to a series for educators on the Wiley Network offering practical advice and instructional strategies.
