Coach Carter

Sport coach The first experience I had of coaching was when I was a sports coach in schools around the St Albans area this was in partnership with St Albans football club. This was mainly done in primary schools at lunch time and after school. The focus sport of this event was football and was normally a session for around an hour. However if the weather was bad due to poor indoor facilities I would sometimes need to coach dodgeball inside as the space would be too small for football. This…

your first basketball game and you’re so excited to play and beat the opposing team, but before the game is over you realize you never played once. You start to question yourself: “Did I do something wrong?” “Does coach hate me?” “Is this how it's going to be all season?” You ask the coach what you did wrong and the coaches response is: “You aren’t good.” There should be stricter rules on how coaches treat their players because many coaches do believe that sports are more about winning than…

student-athletes. As a coach, you must know what your principles, core values, and beliefs are. Then, as a coach, you must actively show those traits. The team will generally mimic how the coach acts and how they conduct themselves. That is also relative to the respective age group that you are involved with. So for a coach to know where he/she stands and portray those traits actively to his/her player's shows he believes in what he is coaching. In my experience, if a coach does not have…

In this assignment, I will be discussing the athletic warehouse company found in the case study. We will be looking at their strengths and weaknesses, the opportunities they had and the threats they faced both at their location in comer brooks and in grand falls. The business was first opened in comer brooks by two brothers, Cohn and Ed Power, and they aimed at proving quality athletic footwear and clothing, mainly running shoes. They had to close not so long after they opened because they were…

Growing up my dad was a basketball coach and my mom was recognized as a four year varsity athlete for basketball in one of the top high schools in Michigan. So playing basketball had seemed to be inevitable for me, and while I was technically good at the sport and could compete with almost anyone my age, I never really established a love for the game. So on my tenth birthday at Dave & Busters I wandered over to this fairly large machine in the back corner of the arcade. When I pulled open the…

A personal issue that people face is the courage to try new things. People are afraid of being ridiculed by others who have experience in a certain field. I sometimes question why others will make fun of a someone because they have the courage to try something that they are unfamiliar with. While there are some who will deride a person for having the bravery and determination to be successful in a field that they have no experience in, the majority of those who are experienced will display…

playing, I was coaching. Last fall I was asked by my high school varsity coach if I would help out coaching the freshmen team. My first initial thought was no, but I told him that I would think about it and get back to him as soon as possible. The more I thought about it I began to like the idea of helping these kids out, so I got back to him and let him know that I was all in. So it was official, I was the assistant coach for the NorthPointe Christian freshmen team. Never in a million years did…

what they do or it will not benefit them, but only provide hindrance in their development. As a coach, I will instill in my athletes the idea that “hard-work and dedication” in everything, results in success. I will help them to love what they do and ensure that they enjoy every moment of it, because being an athlete is…

The Qualities of a Good Life Coach By Christina Cordle May 13, 2012 It is utterly true that no man is an island. No person would be able to surmount all the tumults in life without having to lean on others. In any other way, if you tend to assume everything on your own there is a tendency that you break down. Life itself is an arduous pursuit. We need others' helping hands so as we can stand strong amidst all the storms in life. We are not alone. There are other people who can lend a hand to…
