Firstly, I had to get on the coach bus and waiting. The coach bus was parked with right next to the sidewalk, so when I walked out it was parked straight ahead of me. I unzipped my backpack to…

First, a mindset of self-development can be facilitated through self-leadership, a requirement to authentically lead a team (Maxwell, 2003). Team members love and admire a coach that can help them go to the next level by empowering them to be successful; however, coaches cannot give what they do not have themselves (Maxwell, 2003).

A Coach or an Inspiration? Even though my track and cross-country coach, Mr. Olson, may not have realized it, he has made me a better person throughout my high school career. His consistent positive attitude and the way he believes in people has changed how I see things. Sadly, I only have one more track season left with his direction.

To dance my passion and my teammates are my family, but sometimes coaches are cruel. Sometimes coaches pick favorites. They choose who earns a spot in the front row by who goes to their studio, or whose parents volunteer the most. Not based off of who deserves the spotlight, only who they like.

Parenting today is different than parenting in the past, therefore kids of today are different from kids of the past. With parents and kids being different, it changes the coaching style of coaches today. Women’s basketball coaches across the country have had recent discussion about the difference in coaching styles from the days of Pat Summitt, Jody Conradt, C. Vivian Stringer (in her early years), and Andy Landers to today’s coaching styles. It’s believed that some of these coaches, if not all…

Imagine a 6 year old girl wanting to play softball and her first time on the field her coach is yelling at her. The topic of how a coach treats their player has been a debate thought history. Even though some say coaches should be strict, there should be strict rules for how a coach treats the players because it can mess with their head and could lead to unfair treatment.
