  As an African American female in the field of physical education I strived to enlighten pre‐service teachers with regard to societal perpetuation of myths and fallacies of behaviors and beliefs regarding race

  which can influence pre-service teachers

  teachers

  and the students they will teach. In the field of physical education there is constant dialog regarding the various ways that teachers and coaches can unconsciously hold racial or stereotypical biases when engaged with students of color in sport and physical education settings (Burden
