2 Using Psychological Measures For Personality Research

However, when we talk about youth sports, our main concern is with providing players with a positive, character building experience. Winning is not the only acceptable outcome for youth players, and coaches need to understand this principle. “With a winning philosophy young athletes may lose out on opportunities to develop their skills, to enjoy participation, and to grow socially and emotionally. Well informed coaches realize that success is not equivalent to winning games, and failure is not the same as losing.” (Enhancing Coach-Parent Relationships in Youth Sports, 15)

1. What is the one topic that really stood out to you in Chapter 9- Collaborating in Teams? Why? Chapter nine in our textbook addressed collaborating in teams. This chapter did an excellent job of informing the reader about several key elements pertaining to teamwork. Topics like elements of teamwork, team dynamics and how to improve them, and ways to enhance teamwork. After completing the homework for this week in conjunction with our required reading assignments one aspect of our reading really stood out to me. Learning about the differences between groups and teams in the workplace was very interesting to me. As learned, there are several fundamental differences between groups and teams. Some of the components of a group are: roles

The purpose of this paper is to examine a synopsis of three different common personality assessment tests. The paper discusses the comparisons and the contrasts of the Sixteen Personality Fact Questionnaire, Rorschach Inkblots, and Self-Help Books that are use to assess personality.

"I can accept failure; everyone fails at something. But I cannot accept not trying." - Michael Jordan. As said by Michael Jordan, everyone fails at something. No matter how good you are, you will not always succeed. Youth sports help children develop values, and teach children resilience. Not only do they teach children values, but they teach children why it is important to be physically active. Youth sports teach children how to transfer values into the classroom and become a better student. However, there should be guidelines in place to support youth development and increase a positive experience. Finally, we need to make sure our athletes are being coached properly, and effectively. We need to ensure that our youth are being coached by coaches who provide a positive experience for them, engage parents, and to emphasize future success in and out of sport.

I enjoyed reading The FIVE Dysfunctions of a TEAM. I found the book to be interesting, informative, and applicable to multiple leadership areas in my life. While it was easy to examine the book from different leadership capacities, my response to the questions will be based on my role as a teacher.

While organizing and presenting learning experience to children, the teacher can utilize different methods, ranging from a direct, teacher-centered approach to an indirect, more student-centered approach.Recently, the mode of teaching sport and PE has shifted from the teacher-centered style to towards the student-centered style, in which the teacher has less influence in the decision-making, and the student becomes the prime decision maker (Baker et al., 2009, pp. 77-89). This is important because it can help to develop a player having innate understanding of what is going on around them for instance, on a football field, and has the talent to influence the game. In a bid to reach the aim of this paper, an outline of academic theories of child development, learning theories and professional philosophies, roles played by generic teachers, PE specialists, and community sport coaches will be provided. In addition, key stages in the National Curriculum and steps set out in the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) framework will be

The Myers-Briggs personality assessment results concluded that my personality includes the extroverted, thinking and judgemental characteristics which are extremely accurate. I desperately need people, sitting by my friends is like drinking a Gatorade which gives me energy. Being by myself is very exhausting. My personality assessment concluded that I had the extroverted characteristics. 16personalities.com says. “Extraverts are more interested in engaging the environment – people and objects around them – and they need feedback as well. They are more energetic and willing to take the lead in many situations”. I quickly become the center of the attention almost always in an informal conversation and am very comfortable in groups. According

Personality test can offer a great deal of insight to someone. After taking the Myers Brigs test, I have confirmed much of what I have thought about myself. My score is ISTJ. This stands for introversion, sensing, thinking, and judging, which very accurately describes me.

INFJs are altruistic, meaning that they are constantly trying to make the world a better place.

Sport itself can be a tremendous stepping stone in a child’s, development. The coaches of youth sport not only have the role of teaching the physical

Throughout module four we have learned about different methods of teaching, coaching and overall assessing the end product which is our student athletes. We have focused on teaching our student athletes how and why they need to conduct themselves as a professional in the classroom and on the field of play. I have learned there is no one set standard of teaching student athletes, we as teachers and coaches need to adapt to our student athletes learning to ensure they are learning and processing the new information. Lastly, we as facilitators have to understand how we learn some we may master the knowledge that we are going to teach or student athletes. I will discuss my preferred learning style, was able to use my preferred learning style while

The personality assessment inventory tests provide results on my individual personality, values, motivation, decision making, communication, team skills, conflict skills, organizational structure preference, and stress. These results are broken down briefly in three parts and do not include any personal speculation or analysis as to their meaning. The application of these results are further applied and explains how the results noted from the tests and in the first step will make me a better employee, co-worker, and manager within my organization. These tests mentioned above are applied in conjunction with particular examples on how I can achieve becoming a better employee, co-worker, and manager. An explanation of how my personality and experiences were affected by the Holy Spirit is also discussed. Particularly, how potential weaknesses have become strengths with the guidance of the Lord.

While we did have a variety in terms of Myers-Briggs types, I found that there was little to no conflict between personalities. Everyone got along smoothly and there were no disagreements, only proposals of ideas that could improve a concept. Due to this, I feel we were able to do our best as a group.

According to the Attribution Theory, we tend to explain our own behaviour and the behaviour of others by assigning attributes (or inferences) to these behaviour. There are basically two sources for our behaviour; those influenced by external factors and those influenced by internal factors. Imagine walking into your boss

Raising children in today’s society is not for the faint of heart. Raising children has never been easy, but it is especially difficult in youth sports today. Coaches and parents are putting a lot of pressure on our young sons and daughters. The pressure to succeed in sports at
