Ughhhhhh public school gym trauma, it is the WORST. Phys ed could be such a force for good, and you're right, the focus is all on competition so that instead of giving kids active habits they can sustain throughout their lives, the emphasis is all on winning ~sports games, and in the process only further strengthening the line between nerds and jocks which is NOT A LINE THAT REALLY REQUIRES STRENGTHENING and sorry if this is ranty but I just had a flashback to the unit we had on line-dancing and it's hard to be articulate in the face of that sort of horror.

Anyway, long story short: we are on the same page on this one. Hope you're doing better this week!
