Y O U R S P O R T S
felt like I had walked on to a movieset. The setting: a middle school nes-tled in Northeast Bakersfield withmostly single-parent students whom,to my amazement, were in top form
when it came time for discipline andbehavior.
Mr. Jonathan Freehling, the physical edu-cation teacher, coach, mentor, icon, leader,and counselor is an awesome person. Iknew that right away when I saw the reac-tion in the kids’ faces when they spoke ofhim.
Their eyes lit up as if they were talkingabout Santa Claus.
One of his students, 12-year-old DanielGarcia, told me he plans on buyingFreehling his own gym one day. Daniel haslost 25 pounds and loves to exercise.
There were several students with fat lossand physical wellness stories — too manyto mention all their names.
I heard praise from every student I talkedto. They admire this man for the encour-agement and positive reinforcement he hasgiven each and every one of them.
His co-workers feel the same way. Theyhave great respect for this man.
Freehling is a spry 50-year-old who trulyloves his kids. They came flocking to me totell me how great he is — I didn’t have topick anyone out of a group.
Freehling’s school, Washington Middle, isonly one of two middle schools in Bakers-field that possesses a gym inside one of theclassrooms. I was so impressed with thestudents’ abilities to utilize the equipmentso effectively.
That’s where thegood “coaching”comes in.
Many of Freehling’sstudents have not justlost weight, they havelost the fear it takes totake that step inbecoming fit — andwe know how hardthat commitment canbe, especially at theiryoung ages.
They now have con-fidence in themselves.
Coach Freehlingmotivates the chil-dren, without insult-
ing them. Several are poor, overweight anddon’t eat proper breakfast — let alonesnacks or meals. Coach Freehling makessure they are well hydrated and nourished.He goes the extra mile to ensure this beforethe kids work out.
I was too late in the school season to wit-ness Freehling's amazing Boot Camp,
which is designed specifically for his stu-dents. I can’t wait to go back to WashingtonMiddle School when he starts up again!
He says each student participates in this
seasonal activity and, while they arepushed by Coach, they are also encouragedto do the “best they can do.”
Sounds like a smart, healthy and safe
plan to me — not to mention fun.Coach Freehling said that while the kids
are at the “wall squat” station, he playsmath games to get their minds off of theirleg pain!
His motto? Motivate, don’t isolate the stu-dents. Push them into doing somethingthey think they cannot do.
He also told me that while the kids arerunning laps, he whispers accolades intheir ears as they run by him.
I am sure he is telling them they can dothis and if they can’t run, then it’s okay, butdo the best you can do!
The WOW factor is certainly here.Freehling’s ability to motivate these kids
will go well past their middle school ages.They will take this positive direction withthem as young adults.
I only wish I had had a coach like this. Ialso hope the parents of these studentsrealize how lucky they are to have a manlike this in charge of their kid’s health, well-ness and positive influence.
Coach Freehling is a true hero of Wash-ington Middle School!
