A Code Of Conduct A Coach

Certainly, not all coaches could fulfil all these philosophies at once; some qualities would be more evident in some coaches than others. I could relate, what I considered the most important aspects in relation to the coaches I experienced in my junior football. However, I needed first hand information regarding AFL players and coaches. Therefore, my interviews became an important part in answering my question.

Many everyday encounters can test our values. In sports conflict is expected, and as skill level increases conflict becomes more prominent. This is even more evident to coaches, as they experience conflict from players, referees, and parents. In my experience, coaching many times I must hold back what I want to say and walk away. One specific encounter with two parents tested my values of respect, positivity, and self-worth. In this experience, two parents confronted me after a game about the substitutions going on on the field, as I was a youth coach learning how to run the bench I was appalled at this statement. In this instance, I related to the barber contemplating what to do, “ What do you gain by it? Nothing.” (pg.15A) I also connected with the idea of upholding a reputation, as I would not want to be viewed as anything less than a great coach, “Murderer or hero?” (pg.15C) My values of respect and positivity helped me walk away from this situation, which further revealed how my character is centered around integrity.

Ethical dilemmas confront athletes, coaches, fans and others around the games every year, forcing people involved in sports to examine their behavior and conditions and reevaluate the morals and ethics that are most important to them. Sports topics related to ethics begin in youth sports and carry well into professional sports.

The article, The relationship between ethical and abusive coaching behaviors and student-athlete well-being by Mariya A. Yukhymenko-Lescroart, Michael E. Brown, and Thomas S. Paskus questions how coaches impact the athletes on their team and how it then affects those athletes. It is interesting because you never really see what goes on between a coach and an athlete unless you take a closer look. Many athletes rely on their coaches to do more than just coach them. In a way, they are guiding them and helping them become the person they strive to be. Athletes spend most of their time at practices or games so it is obvious that the individual who coaches them will impact them and their performance of that sport. There is not just one certain team the article focuses on. Instead, it focuses on some sports played by men and some by women. One of the hypotheses was that these athletes take in information the best by paying close attention to the actions of their coaches or other adults and then learning from them. Another hypothesis is athletes are able to control their performance each time they play that sport.

Sporting philosophies are tremendously important for current and aspiring coaches to understand and develop, when identifying the psychology behind the human performer, it is imperative to understand the different philosophies and known topics that are associated to this module, these ideas and philosophies can refer to as burnout, character development and talent identification. These three philosophies are closely linked together through the different progressions and obstacles a coach may come across.

My coaching philosophy is pretty simple. I’m going to be very down to earth with my athletes. I’m not going to sugar coat anything or make say something that isn’t completely true. I’m going to bring them up to my level and treat them as if they’re at the same level as them giving them respect and expecting it in return from them. I think by treating them with maturity and respect they will be more prone to do as I want and put more on the line for the team and me. As an athlete right now, it mean a lot to me when a coach treats me as if I am as important as him. It makes me feel as if I’m not just another athlete that he has to coach, giving me the feel that I have more value to the team making me want to commit more to the team.

Oftentimes in sports, coach’s contributions get overlooked while players garner most of the attention. When teams find success, it’s the players who receive the majority of the credit, while the coaches are often left in the background. Oppositely, when teams experience failure it’s the coaches who receive most of the criticism, not the players. In reality, organizations and teams are made up of multiple components, each having an effect on one another. Depending on the level of the sport, player to coach relationships can have an insurmountable effect on a team’s performance, culture, and cohesion. In building these relationships, coaches bring their own unique set of leadership skills and styles, and hope to have a positive influence

Playing sports has come a long way from a simple game played in one’s backyard for fun and pleasure, continuing on to professional athletes competing at high levels for glory, honour and prestige. An athlete with the correct articulated, ethical-decision making instruction has been able to help them advance within their sport. Ongoing coaching education has been gaining importance within our society. For those invested in athletics, there is a need to know what can result from athlete’s behaviours in sport, with a focus on tennis. In particular, sportsmanship, gamesmanship, unwritten codes of behaviour, competitive orientation as ego or task driven, coaching orientation as an adult or athlete-centered, and the nature of sport are important

Coaches have a responsibility to develop their players into well rounded individuals. They can do this in a variety of ways. Great coaches not only have to know the sport they are teaching, they must be trustworthy, promote teamwork, and teach players life long lessons. A great coach is going to have knowledge about the sport that they are coaching.

4. The coach should improve his leadership style and communicate frequently with the team members to find problem early and solve the problem.

A lot of challenges are encountered and requires considerations when dealing with ethical and legal issues in our “Education System”. Cooper and Schindler (2011) defined ethics as “norms or standards of behavior that guide moral choice about our behavior and relationship with others” (p. 49). Also Sileo, Sileo & Pierce (2008) defined ethics as a “system of moral principles and values that relates to individual behavior, a class of human actions, or a specific professional group” (p. 44). However, this relates ethics to be a reciprocal process that communicates the professional roles and responsibilities of individuals. Notably, in every profession or business, there are basic ethical and legal standards that are exhibited. These are: “confidentiality, misrepresentation of results, deceiving people, using invoicing irregularities, avoiding legal liability” (Antle & Regehr, 2003, p. 136).
