Paul Zientarski has more than 40 years experience in education and has created a highly successful program called, the Learning Readiness Physical Education (LRPE) program at Naperville Central High School.

The program has produced such dramatic improvements in test scores, behaviour and childhood obesity. It has inspired adoption in school districts from across the country and around the world, including Denmark, China, South Korea and Canada. His program highlights the importance of quality, daily physical education in schools, not only to reduce obesity, but to improve academic performance.
