We sit down with Gopher Sport’s assistant marketing manager, Michael Ewen, to dive into the systems that help teachers deliver better lessons with less stress: a true satisfaction guarantee, teacher-designed equipment, and a ton of free professional development opportunities that are practical.
Michael traces his path from videographer to brand lead, showing how listening to educators turned feedback into product upgrades and new and unique designs. We talk through the 100% satisfaction guarantee with a real story of hassle-free replacements and how that promise doubles as research, guiding durable materials and smarter builds. You’ll also hear why Now Nets are a favorite for fast setup, more touches, and scalable stations that fit tight schedules and crowded gyms.
The learning support is extensive. We highlight the weekly blog with classroom voices, a webinar library of 120+ PE-specific sessions with certificates, and PE Universe’s curated video platform where standards-based lessons come to life. Then we break down the Master PE Teacher course with Dr. Robert Pangrazi: 18 modules on lesson structure, behavior management, and routines, filmed with professional quality and backed by Dynamic PE ASAP classroom footage. It’s the kind of training that shows the “how,” not just the “what,” so you can apply it tomorrow.
