Coach Canada

concept to figure out what works and what doesn’t in order to get the most out of their players. Coaches have a core set of principles that they take with them to every program they coach at. The players must learn those rules and stick to them in order to strive within the program. The coaching philosophy that the coach chooses to implement at the beginning of their career will define every way in which the team will function…

A Coach or an Inspiration? Even though my track and cross-country coach, Mr. Olson, may not have realized it, he has made me a better person throughout my high school career. His consistent positive attitude and the way he believes in people has changed how I see things. Sadly, I only have one more track season left with his direction. Without his influence I don’t believe my high school running career, let alone my high school experience, will not be as gratifying or memorable. The most…

All four years of high school I have been on the dance team. I have played on other sports teams as well but they all have one similarity;every team has a coach. To dance my passion and my teammates are my family, but sometimes coaches are cruel. Sometimes coaches pick favorites. They choose who earns a spot in the front row by who goes to their studio, or whose parents volunteer the most. Not based off of who deserves the spotlight, only who they like. I know all sports have this problem…

Parenting today is different than parenting in the past, therefore kids of today are different from kids of the past. With parents and kids being different, it changes the coaching style of coaches today. Women’s basketball coaches across the country have had recent discussion about the difference in coaching styles from the days of Pat Summitt, Jody Conradt, C. Vivian Stringer (in her early years), and Andy Landers to today’s coaching styles. It’s believed that some of these coaches, if not all…

Imagine a 6 year old girl wanting to play softball and her first time on the field her coach is yelling at her. The topic of how a coach treats their player has been a debate thought history. Even though some say coaches should be strict, there should be strict rules for how a coach treats the players because it can mess with their head and could lead to unfair treatment. First of all, when coaches say push their players it affects the players mental state when it comes to the sport.…

scrutinized people on the team, with the media placing as much pressure on them as they do players. If the coach is successful, they will be revered by the media and the fan base as long as they can continue at a certain measure of success. If a coach is unable to improve the quality of play on the field, then resentment will grow quickly, and the proverbial hot seat will continue to burn until the coach is replaced. This has always been true in almost every sport, but in recent years coaches…

In my experience master coaches are exactly how Coyle explains them to be in his book The Talent Code. I remember a hockey coach I once had...Pat MacLeod. He was always a caring mentor, and he also gave specific advice to show me how to improve my basic skills. As Coyle said on page 186, “Most master coaches delivered their information to their students in a series of short, vivid, high-definition bursts.” Mr. MacLeod would skate along with me and watch intently observing everything I did; he…

I interviewed head coach of the North Scott Trap Team, Dave Fredericksen. My father happens to be the head coach, however, his position in the organization is nothing more than a coincidence; I would be interviewing the coach of the team regardless of who the coach was at the time. I interviewed the coach of the trap team because it is such a different and misunderstood sport, especially in a society that questions our Second Amendment rights. I asked him questions that required him to reflect…

The person I decided to write my essay on was my basketball coach my senior year, Brian McIntosh. He only coached at my high school for one year, and prior to that he was an assistant coach at Emporia State University. Taking his expertise and leadership skills McIntosh helped take my team who had struggled the previous season and give them a last and successful season. He changed the atmosphere of the program and that year held the best record my school’s girl basketball team had seen in a long…
