Why Is Coach Hunter Important To Me

Decent Essays
Coach Hunter is an important person to me, because he taught me how to play lacrosse, which I still play to this day. Coach Hunter was an average size man with a very short beard and always seemed to be wearing a beanie. I first met him at my first practice for the North Penn Dragons. When I was first introduced to him he told me he would be my coach and that he would teach me how to play. Most of my team were also new players, so we all had a lot of things to learn in the first weeks before our first games.

His demeanor demanded greatness of those around him and he accepted nothing less. I remember watching him speak to my team and me as young 12-13 year old boys; I was filled with elation because I would have the opportunity to play with him in the upcoming year.…

    As I walk into the gym my senses go wild. There’s many smells of sweat, weird smelling perfumes, and colognes. I finally spotted Coach Ed after scanning the whole gym for 2 minutes. He was standing by the bleachers at the far end, watching the kids like a 6’4 tall hawk. While I was walking towards him he began to laugh because I almost tripped over a cone while walking to him.…

    At some point in time in their development, most people encounter an adult figure, who instills a positive change in their lives. For me, that person was Cindy Scannella--my track and my cross country coach for my first two years of high school.

    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.…

    “In the Anatomy of the Guided Discovery Style, the role of the teacher is to make all subject matter decisions, including the target concept to be discovered and the sequential design of the questions for the learner. The role of the learner is to discover the answers” (Mosston and Ashworth 2008:212).

This teaching style is quite commonly used when teaching a variety of subjects on the Physical Education National Curriculum, but it is mainly used when the teacher wants the students to discover and think about the application of movement, e.g.…
