In this episode of the PerformWell Podcast, we sat down with PE teacher Kate Macadorey for a raw, insightful conversation about kids, education, and the future of sport.
We dive into everything from how technology is impacting children's activity levels to the challenges of teaching in a world where screen time is winning over playtime. Kate shares her on-the-ground perspective from working across public and private schools, discussing everything from participation trophies and gender dynamics in PE to nutrition, lunch choices, and even how ChatGPT is creeping into classrooms.
We also explore the big question: Are we raising a generation that’s lost its competitive edge, or just redefining what performance really means?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
