From an early age I loved everything about sports. So that’s why what better career choice then coaching. It gives me a chance to give back and try to help others love sports and appreciate them as much as I do. If I do become a coach I would be either a soccer or baseball coach because those are the two sports I know the most about considering I have played them all of my life. Coaching does not just allow someone to teach the elements of the game but also helps teach life lessons and help an…
coaching begin? Coaching came about long ago when sports first started in the Greek Olympics in 776 BC and has been evolving ever since. Coaching is a great field with many career opportunities. In the past, the salary was not enough to provide for a coach and his or her family, and coaches were not valued like they are today. Coaching training is an ongoing development in which a person supports and trains an athlete that wants to achieve a common goal. The best school to get a coaching degree…
Three years ago Kent State redshirt sophomore Jimmy Hall was sitting inside of a jail cell in New York. Three years ago Hall’s basketball, and possibly his future, was over. Hall had been arrested and charged with burglary. That was the moment in Hall life when for the first time in his life when he realized that there were serious consequences for his mistakes. “We were just kids who weren’t doing the right thing,” Hall said of the situation. “We got caught up in something we weren’t…

Sport coach The first experience I had of coaching was when I was a sports coach in schools around the St Albans area this was in partnership with St Albans football club. This was mainly done in primary schools at lunch time and after school. The focus sport of this event was football and was normally a session for around an hour. However if the weather was bad due to poor indoor facilities I would sometimes need to coach dodgeball inside as the space would be too small for football. This…
your first basketball game and you’re so excited to play and beat the opposing team, but before the game is over you realize you never played once. You start to question yourself: “Did I do something wrong?” “Does coach hate me?” “Is this how it's going to be all season?” You ask the coach what you did wrong and the coaches response is: “You aren’t good.” There should be stricter rules on how coaches treat their players because many coaches do believe that sports are more about winning than…
student-athletes. As a coach, you must know what your principles, core values, and beliefs are. Then, as a coach, you must actively show those traits. The team will generally mimic how the coach acts and how they conduct themselves. That is also relative to the respective age group that you are involved with. So for a coach to know where he/she stands and portray those traits actively to his/her player's shows he believes in what he is coaching. In my experience, if a coach does not have…

They had to close not so long after they opened because they were…
Growing up my dad was a basketball coach and my mom was recognized as a four year varsity athlete for basketball in one of the top high schools in Michigan. So playing basketball had seemed to be inevitable for me, and while I was technically good at the sport and could compete with almost anyone my age, I never really established a love for the game. So on my tenth birthday at Dave & Busters I wandered over to this fairly large machine in the back corner of the arcade. When I pulled open the…
A personal issue that people face is the courage to try new things. People are afraid of being ridiculed by others who have experience in a certain field. I sometimes question why others will make fun of a someone because they have the courage to try something that they are unfamiliar with. While there are some who will deride a person for having the bravery and determination to be successful in a field that they have no experience in, the majority of those who are experienced will display…
