Coaching

I have always considered myself a leader especially because of the environment I grew up in. The ability to become a leader amongst my friends, family, and my organization are all attributed to the choices and effects on other people that I had growing up. When it comes to my organization I have no choice but to be a leader, you can’t just settle for being a manager because people may not truly respect you. As a leader in my organization, I am able to influence not only my supervisors, athletes,…

uncivil, snappy and unpolished attitude toward the students while teaching. Abby is not the person that I interviewed, but it will put a close image in your head on the person that I did interview due to them having remarkably similar features of their coaching style. My high school track coach, Coach Henry. Although none of his athletes are suing him and he did not commit fraud. Coach Henry, a person who is hated by many and loved only by a few.

Reflection This coaching session was a difficult one to gage. Since the indoctrination program involved different departments within the command, I felt that more employees should have been apart of the session.

This moment made me realizes that an interview was not going to satisfy what I needed to…

My second example regarding alpha males is also tennis-related (sorry!). When I was growing up I trained at the OAC (Ottawa Athletic Club) and my coach was named Tony Roth. For many decades, he’s been the director at the OAC and has coached pros such a Milos Raonic who is making the Canadian tennis fans very proud. He was a very popular and was known as a succeeding coach who was also the author of “Noble Tennis: The Wisdom of Sport”. I respected Tony as a person and as a coach. I felt he…
