Helping parents build a foundation for their young child’s future athletic development
Meet John Ozmun
Creator of the Preschool Athlete
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I’m a faculty member in the Health & Human Performance Division at Indiana Wesleyan University. Prior to my time at Indiana Wesleyan University I was a faculty member and administrator for eighteen years at Indiana State University. As a college professor I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses in early childhood physical activity, adapted physical activity, motor development, elementary physical education, and sport and exercise psychology.
In addition, I have taught movement classes and programs directly with preschoolers in a number of settings. These include university childcare classes, church-related children’s programs, day camps, and special needs programs for preschoolers with autism and with hearing-impairments. I earned my doctorate in Motor Development and Adapted Physical Education from Indiana University in 1991 and have been working directly with children or preparing others to work with children ever since. I am the co-author of a textbook entitled Understanding Motor Development:Infants, Children, Adolescents, Adults (McGraw-Hill).
Over the past few years it’s been a growing desire of mine to serve as a resource for parents and family members of preschoolers. On a more personal note my wife Ruth and I have four boys, all of whom survived their preschool years reasonably well and are now all young adults (they’ll always be my little boys, even though they’re all taller than me).
