When interacting with others, individuals have the tendency to associate their reactions, thoughts, and feelings, that occur during a conversation, to other individuals they know or experiences they have had. For example, I may meet a girl in a bar who reminds me of my ex-girlfriend, and thus, I cannot give her my undivided attention because I am too distracted with her similarities to my ex-girlfriend. When this phenomenon occurs in therapy, it is referred to as countertransference. Freud…

It was a chilly February day and a bunch of boys and I were discussing playing a game of road hockey after school. We were all sitting around in our 6th-grade science class talking about who should we invite to this big extravagant hockey game. We talked about all the details; such as when the game is, who’s invited and where would we be playing. We all decided on a 3:30 at Davids house and that we would have 9 of us play. By now we were all excited about playing the game and we all just had to…

Our daily wiffle ball game was about to start. There was a wiffle ball game every evening behind the apartment complex I lived in. The game was played in a luscious green grass field with a monstrous hill in left field. The usual squad was myself, Ricky, Justin, Michael, Jonathon, Latrell, and occasionally Greg but his parents usually make him stay inside and play monopoly or some other dumb board game. Our teams were always different from the last game. This time I was teamed up with Ricky and…

We live in a capitalistic society that requires jobs and more successfully a career to make it the legal way in America. In America we have the choice of which profession you want to pursue while in other countries they pick it for you without your consent. Since we have this choice we should pick things we are passionate about and not what other people want us to be. Some people want to be pastors, coaches and politician however all those careers require different educational levels and…

My favorite coach trough all time was a coach that I only for a year. In Sweden we don’t have school sports, instead, we have club sports instead outside school different ages, levels, and leagues.

It was my first year playing in a women 's league and the year before we qualified into the pro league. I…

Connell is giving his pre-performance speech as I look around the Pursuit of Excellence stadium in Marshall, Minnesota. All I can focus on is the huge crowd that seems like it expands every time I look back at it. We line up to walk onto the field—it’s our turn to preform our show for the judges. I walk onto the field anxiously feeling the first break of nervous sweat drip down my face. I scan the field- there are judges everywhere, I become very aware of what’s happening. The announcer comes…

The coach utilises the command, submissive and co-operative coaching styles across the three sporting levels, 10-11 year old children, U20s local club team and NZ Olympic athletes. The command style is strongly focused on coaches who like to “make all the decisions” and the “role of the athlete is to respond to the coach’s commands” (Martens, 2004, p. 30). With this coaching style it is portrayed to be one sided, the coach tells the athlete what to do, where to be, and how to do it so there’s no…
