This page intentionally left blank 404 Deskside Activities for Energetic Kids About the Author A nationally recognized teacher, trainer, and choreographer for athletes and dancers, Barbara Davis spent much of her life making exercise an integral part of daily life for others. Armed with an MFA in Dance/Pilates and a Master of Sci- ence in Exercise Physiology, she coached and taught gymnastics for over twenty years and was the coauthor and national clinician for USA Kinder Accreditation for Teachers (KAT). She developed a movement program for ADHD children that is used by gymnastics schools across the United States and coauthored a book called Teaching Fundamental Gymnastics Skills in which she was respon- sible for developing verbal learning cues for specific learning styles. Barbara’s contributions to gymnastics, exercise, and education were exceptional; she was able to present sports in a way that helped everyone learn, whether they were an elite athlete or a beginning student. Barbara Davis passed away in 2007 in Columbus, Ohio, where she lived with her husband Mark.
