Using storytellin in Physical Education

I never really thought that some sort of story would have an impact on students wanting to participate in the physical education setting (gymnasium). I really want to teach in a high school setting and i feel that the only way i can have some type of story in relation to what i want to teach my students is using some real life stories. I would use stories or experiences from other people who are either in the same position as some of my students or were in a more serious predicament in their life. For example, I could influence some of my students who don't tend to take school serious by telling them about this one individual who was born and raised in a very poor, dangerous, and drug related urban city and how he used all that negativity and applied it on the football field. I personally know this person and now he is playing for the NFL and coming from the same place as he did I know that this type of real life story telling is something that can make a difference in a child from being a successful person or an unfortunate statistic that plagues my city.
