I desire to teach others something I love to do, to see someone receive joy off of something I also love to do dearest to my heart. My heart experiences so much joy to teach someone else a passion that I really love. My goals as a coach would be, to have fun, enhance skills, play for God, and win. I believe my coaching goals align with the “Athletes first, winning second” method. My athletes will always come first, to anything, if my athlete is too sick to perform, and that athlete really wants to compete, I will not let that athlete compete due to health. My athletes will always come first to anything, and it could be some pros and cons to this method. The sport that I would want to coach is dance, and dance is becoming more prominent in becoming a sport. There are “life lessons” that dance can teach a person. First, dance can teach the importance of hard work and dedication, being good at dance doesn’t have over night, it takes much time and dedication. In dance there is no “skipping” practice, skipping dance practice is like skipping class, and you miss out on so much, especially choreography.

This high demand and intrigue for our sports only creates dreams for many American’s to become the next biggest/greatest athlete of all time. My dear friend, Travis Brannon, was one of these kids that grew up desiring to be a great athlete. Travis grew up playing all different kinds of sports such as soccer, track, wrestling, baseball, basketball, swimming, and lastly thanks to growing up in Texas…Football. Through Travis’ experiences in sports I have learned that sport is largely started for social reasons rather competitive, as well as the negative aspects such as bad coaching or burn out come through factors like too much responsibility and intensity at too soon of a developmental stage. Though these negative aspects seem to outweigh the positive in some situations, sport can be changed for the future to create better lives such as Travis’.…

Making the effort in marriage, at your job, in the community, and for your country. An athlete does have, and should have, control of themselves and the effort they give towards bringing out their best in whatever they’re doing.…

    Jessica Statsky, the writer of the essay, “Children Need To Play, Not Compete,” describes how children’s sports have been changing in recent times. She speaks of how the parents and coaches near fanatical criteria being imposed are negatively affecting many of the children involved with the sports.

The dangers she covers are the physical well-being, mental health and anxiety, drop-out rate, and the stresses created by the adults involved in the sport. Statsky’s first observation is the physical risks that young, growing children are being exposed too in sports programs.…

    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.…

I think the fact that I use reason rather than impulse judgements as a base for forming opinions and making decisions makes “logical” a very important part of my self-concept. 
 Being open-minded is something I think I learned from my parents. My parents brought me to church with them every Sunday when I was little, but as I got older they made it an option rather than an obligation. They always encouraged me to go to church with my friends so I could see what different religions were like…
