If the coachee doesn’t feel able or safe to share their thoughts and feelings, then the whole exercise is a waste of time.

    To begin, people who are into sports or who frequently watch the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network also known as ESPN are well aware of the scandal involving FIFA and their leaders. This situation involving FIFA officials is an example of highly qualified professionals contaminating this organizations leadership whose integrity is in question yet again regarding their top officials. Going all the way back to the early 1990's, FIFA's top executives devised to accept enticements from marketing organizations in return for exclusive television deals. As Attorney General Loretta Lynch stated, “It spans at least two generations of soccer officials who, as alleged, have abused their positions of trust to acquire millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks (McFarland 2015).” "In 2010, FIFA awarded the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, which led to reports of vote buying, but that’s not a focus of this particular investigation (McFarland 2015)."…

    The purpose of the study is to explore the role that gender plays within the coach-athlete relationship, with the intention to provide valuable knowledge towards the creation of a successful coach-athlete relationship. The quality of the coach-athlete relationship is highly important as it can contribute to an athlete’s motivation, self-esteem and success within the sport (Jowett & Meek, 2000). It has been suggested that the coach-athlete relationship is one of the primary influences on an athlete (Jowett & Poczwardowski, 2007) and can therefore have a significant effect on an athlete’s quality of life (Greenleaf, Gould & Dieffenbach, 2001). With athletes and coaches working closely and spending lots of time together it has been suggested…

    Even before considering those rules one's ethical bases determines their moral reasoning as with the infamous sports agent Josh Luchs. Ethical bases are defined by deontology (based on rules or what is right), teleology (based on consequences of action or what is good) or existentialism (based on the individual or intentions, motives or character) (Malloy, D. C., Ross, S., & Zakus, D. H. (2003). Luch’s claims to have paid the first player that he ever tried to recruit and seemingly many after by justifying his actions as necessary because it was a part of the business. "People should know how the agent business really works, how widespread the inducements to players are and how players have their hands out.…

    After reviewing the FLSA’s definition of professionals, one could argue that we as athletic trainers do not always have the ability to exercise discretion and/ or judgement. Relating what we’ve learned in pharmacology to this matter, the text clearly states that anytime there are medications stored in an athletic training facility, there must be a licensed physician who accepts responsibility for the medications. Furthermore, the dispensing and administering of medications is considered a discretionary decision in which only a physician is allowed to dispense or administer medications. This example leads me to presume that currently we as athletic trainers are not considered professionals due to the fact that physicians can make the final decisions…

    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. According to the site Debate.org it states that coaches affect whether or not these players want to keep playing and when you ride them to hard it makes them not want to keep playing and when you ride them to hard it makes them not want to play.…

    Beginning with the premise that clients have “strength and capability, not weakness, helplessness, or dependence [and] a deep desire to give the best and achieve potential,” (Kimsey-House, Kimsey-House, Sandahl, & Whitworth, 2011, p. 7), coaching is analogous to the Paraclete who walks alongside another, inspiring, motivating (John 14:26, ESV), bringing out the intelligence (Proverbs 2:6-7, NIV) and capacity of the client to solve their own problems (ICF, n.d.). The CCNI (2014) takes the definition one step further and incorporates a perspective based upon a biblical worldview, which offers moral direction and guidance. The co-active coaching model, which is conversation based upon respect, openness, compassion, empathy, and a rigorous commitment…

    Coaches have the power to change lives. I can humbly say this as all my coaches, both good and bad, have taught me in some way what it takes to be a good athlete and most importantly how to be a good human being. They have taught me life lessons that I can only hope to preserve by instilling them into my athletes in my time as a coach. The articles I have chosen to highlight in this essay show how coaches have helped to develop character in athletes, how they pushed them to be the best on and off the field of play, and illustrate how they stepped into the lives of athletes and became so much more than just a coach.…

    We cannot commit conduct that has the community, our students, or fellow educators questioning our ethics. The Prezi, “Ethical Decision-Making for Preservice Professionals” outlined some guidelines expected of future educators. Because we are professionals, using slang, discussing personal issues with students, giving your cell phone number to students, and texting students are not appropriate. I plan on being a coach as well as an educator, so I have responsibility to teach and provide feedback to my student athletes. However, there is a line that I will not cross and that is participating in what I am coaching my athletes.…
