Re: i want to become a phys. ed. teacher TOO!

Please somebody I need some advice, I am a 23 year old communications graduate with a business minor from a small University in PA. I always wanted to teach but when I first applied to schools I didn't have the grades to get into the education programs. I had plans to go into the military but was offered money to play college football so I took it. the only program I could really get into that was interesting to me was communications, I like to talk... I applied myself and graduated high in my major, I participated in an NCAA sport and was a member of a couple of clubs. Now I am a sales manager making decent money but I really want to teach, I love kids and I think the best field for me would be PE, considering my athletic upbringing and the lack of "book smarts". how much back tracking do I need to do to become a PE teacher. I would love to coach as well. I just don't know if could become a full time student again now that I am in the "real world". can someone please point me in the right direction.
