coach and pushed every person to their limit to be the best and the strongest, he showed them who

was boss and running the show, he was a winner and he wanted his team to be the best after they

came back from Gettysburg.

Once they got back it wasn’t all smooth sailing, a lot of people disagreed with the change of schools

    For me Herb Brook was a strong authentic leader. He was a coach with a vision, a vision that led a group of college kids to beat the dominant Soviet Union team in ice hockey and go on to win the gold in the 1980 Winter Olympics. Even though he was motivated by a personal desire to see the United States team win the hockey gold medal under his tutelage, he proved himself to be the right leader for them.

    In the film “12 O’clock High,” leadership and followership play a significant role in the plot, and it has been used for decades by the military as a training exercise. The same principles were used in the Human Factors class to help the students determine their leadership styles and how to be a better follower. From the very first few scenes, “12 O’clock High” was a true story about how a bombing unit in World War 2 bounced back from a period of bad luck and poor training to become one of the best units the U.S. Army Air Force had. As the plot begins, Colonel Davenport is shown the Officer in Command of the bomber unit.

    Throughout my high school cheerleading career, I have had five different coaches. I have classified them into The Mom, The BFF, The Nazi, The Babysitter, The Crazy One, and The Ideal Coach. Each one made a distinct impact on cheer at TCPS in their own way, positive or negative, because of their actions and attitudes. Each category is specially designed for each coach I’ve had and their demeanor towards the cheerleading squad.…
