Meet Whitney Self, PHIT America Champion Advisory Team Member
PHIT America is pleased to announce Whitney Self, one of the newest member of PHIT America's Champion Advisory Team, joining distinguished PE teachers across the nation.
Whitney Self is a physical education teacher at Camino Real Elementary in Niederwald, TX. She has been teaching for 24 years including 12 years as a middle school PE/health teacher and coach, two years at the district level and currently starting her 12th year in elementary PE.
Whitney was born in Lubbock, TX, grew up in San Antonio, TX and is currently residing in Austin, TX. Whitney loves to travel. You will most likely find her at a beach destination hunting for sea glass. She has traveled to New Zealand to watch the USWNT compete in the World Cup. She also enjoys playing pickleball, working out, attending Broadway shows and going to Austin FC games.
Whitney is the district elementary team lead and the district's Fitnessgram coordinator. Last year she served as the Area 3 chair for TAHPERD and serves on several committees. She is passionate about her students getting the physical activity they deserve and becoming an AMPED Ambassador and part of the PHIT America Advisory Team.
It’s great to see teachers like Whitney helping kids stay active and enjoy sports from an early age. When I have some free time, I also like playing Speed Stars online for a quick break; it’s simple, a bit challenging, and pretty fun once you get into it.
It was great learning more about Whitney Self and her long-standing commitment to physical education. Twenty-four years of teaching experience, including work with both middle school and elementary students, is certainly impressive. I also enjoyed the personal details about her love of travel, pickleball, working out, Broadway shows, and Austin FC. It’s especially interesting to see how her professional experience in PE connects naturally with an active lifestyle outside the classroom. Having educators who genuinely enjoy fitness and staying active can be a great way to encourage students to develop healthy habits as well. Thanks for sharing Whitney’s story and highlighting her contribution to the PHIT America community! R36 Max

Great to learn more about Whitney and her work with PHIT America. For organizing coaching ideas and activity notes, converting handwritten notes to text can be a useful digital workflow.
Whitney Self’s profile highlights the value of leadership and community involvement in youth sports. After reading stories like this, I often play Subway Surfers, which keeps the energy going with quick and engaging runs.
