For my growing up interview I interviewed a former football coach. I did not know this person, however he was a friend of my father, which is how I found out about him. He coached for the majority of his life, mainly at the high school level. Not only was he quite successful at all the places he coached, but he also had a plethora of interesting experiences. I felt that he would be a great person to interview and learn from. The interview took place over the phone, because we were not able to…
Introduction The coach’s role is to develop the coachee’s resourcefulness through skillful questioning, challenges, and support; not advising because when advice is given, the coach implies that he or she knows best and that the coachee does not (Rogers, 2012). Coaching requires a listening ear to ensure that the coachee is understood and is making decisions that will ultimately help accomplish the goals. During this final coaching session, my client and I will be working together…
quiet and focused ready for our game that day. As coaches strolled into the room, we all locked in waiting for them to say something. Our head coach motivated us and spoke to us mentioning respect. He made remarks about our low rank in the conference and the lack of respect teams had for us as a team and a brotherhood. The words I won 't forget that coach Ross said were this, “if people aren 't giving you respect you have to go out and take it.” Loud roars and cheers from my teammates filled the…
teams to be successful. Both Pat Summit and Mike Krzyzewski might both be coaches that have a winning record, but this does not make them the same type of coach in anyway. These two coaches have extremely different coaching styles due to their different experiences, stories and views on winning, losing, and coaching their players. Both Coach Pat Summit…
being said, it is not easy for me to choose which coach was my favorite. However, there is one coach that sticks out in my mind, and it is not because of her amazing knowledge of the sports, but because of how she interacted with us. My high school volleyball coach, who also happened to be my gym teacher and our athletic director, started coaching my team when I was a Sophomore, my second year on varsity. There were many reasons I liked her as a coach. Some of the main reasons include her…
multifaceted relationship between coach and athlete whilst performing in their training environment. For the purpose of this analytical report and as a principal influence in my non delineated guideline, I made use of the already existing observational methods (ASUOI) listed in the literature by (Massey et al, 2002). In addition, to the observational assessment, any on field practical coaching methods employed by the participant’s strength and conditioning coach will be assed and evaluated in…
person’s life, but how that person’s decisions can affect the people around them. The title “Swagger” comes from a quote from Jonas Dolan’s coach, which he stated “get a little swagger in your game, and other teams will back off.…
Introduction: It is human nature to constantly strive for improvements in what we do and how we do things on a daily basis (Carling, et al., 2005). Soccer is no different, and many coaches are constantly looking for ways to improve their team’s performance. According to Hughes, et al. (2012) team invasion sports such as soccer provide an ideal field for analysis as they consist of a combination of individual techniques set within a team framework. Carling, et al. (2005) states correct analysis…
team. He uses communication to tell the players which positions they should be at. He is also a great leader because he has a good organisation of equipment and knowledge of the game so he can teach them good training and use his own experience to coach the players. To be a good leader in sport such as Jose Mourinho you need to have good activity structure because you need to know how the session is set out so it needs to be understandable for the players or they won’t know what to do. They also…
Pat Riley, an American professional basketball executive, once stated that “If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.” What he meant when saying this, was that people will surpass any challenge they are faced with and preserve to face any other obstacle. Similar to another athlete, Ralph Marston views the obstacles one faces is valid when the people involved…
