<div>My name is Muata, Coach Mo and online I'm known <a href="https://linktr.ee/ridewithmo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mo Rider</a>. I'm a proud dad, husband, PE teacher, youth Flag Football coach, and youth mentor born, raised and currently living in the DMV area. I teach at <a href="https://thetruthschool.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sojourner Truth Montessori Public Charter School</a> in Washington, DC. And they've presented me with an awesome opportunity!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During COVID, I was struggling with my health, feeling isolated and disconnected. But what started as riding my exercise bike while playing my Xbox turned into a gaming community over 8k members strong to help gamers live healthy, build community, and rediscover joy through movement. The #SweatyMob is the supportive space where gamers can challenge themselves, celebrate progress, and have fun moving, no matter their fitness level.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A <strong>PE teacher and curriculum developer</strong>, I've spent years working to make movement more accessible and meaningful for every student. But even with new approaches, I kept seeing the same struggles: <strong><em>smart, intuitive, and creative kids who spent hours on screens, felt tired and stressed, and didn't connect with PE for various reasons.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About <strong>85% of U.S. teens play video games</strong>, <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2024/05/09/teens-and-video-games-today/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">spending 10 to 14 hours a week gaming.</a> <strong>Video games provide us with a universal language</strong> that connects kids of all backgrounds and fitness levels. <strong><em>But gaming is not a problem; it's a potential bridge.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our nation's teens also spend on average <a href="https://neurosciencenews.com/teen-sedentary-social-media-28175/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">8 to 10 hours a day sedentary</a>, and only <a href="https://stateofchildhoodobesity.org/high-school-physical-activity/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 in 4 high schoolers meet daily activity guidelines</a>. Just <strong>16% </strong><a href="https://www.apha.org/policy-and-advocacy/public-health-policy-briefs/policy-database/2022/01/07/supporting-physical-education-in-schools-for-all-youth" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">attend PE class daily</a> I care about these numbers because I see the faces behind them every day: students who need more opportunities to move, not fewer, and who deserve movement that meets them where they are.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>This isn't about fixing PE. It's about expanding what PE can be!</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That's where <strong>Sweaty Mob Kids</strong> comes in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're launching our first pilot right here at <strong>Sojourner Truth Montessori Public Charter School in Washington, DC.</strong> Sweaty Mob Kids is a movement lab that uses gaming culture to turn screen time into sweat time. Instead of forcing kids into drills they hate, we design sessions that feel like a game they actually want to play.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds from this campaign will:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>- Equip the program at Truth with basic gear and tech to run the sessions, including Garmin watches for students to track movement and progress</em></strong>
</div>
<div><strong><em>- Support a small research project to track changes in students' movement, school behavior, and academic performance</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All student data will be collected in partnership with the school and shared only in combined, anonymous form. Our goal is to help those of the next generation have a way to move with joy, feel proud of themselves, and thrive in school and beyond.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'd be truly grateful for any support you're able to give. Whether that's a donation, a share, or simply taking the time to read and care about this work, <strong>every contribution helps bring Sweaty Mob Kids to life at Sojourner Truth Montessori</strong>. Your support means kids who usually say "PE just isn't for me" get a space where they're seen, they belong, and they can actually feel proud of their bodies and effort. It also helps us collect real data we can share with schools and communities, so this becomes a model other schools can use.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If this resonates with you because you care about <strong>children, education, movement, or gaming</strong>, or you remember what it felt like to be that student who loathed PE class, please consider supporting <strong>Sweaty Mob Kids</strong>. Thank you for anything you're able to do to help us turn screen time into sweat time!
