Coach Approach

According to the American Cancer Society, half of all men and one third of all women will develop cancer within their lifetime (Cancer.org). These figures are staggering. Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and is a terrifying and unpredictable disease for many cancer sufferers. As such, it is imperative that healthcare workers have a thorough understanding of the various cancer diagnoses, treatments, and preventative strategies necessary to combat this devastating plague. Skills at managing not only the illness itself, but also the psychological and social side effects

There are several interventions that correlate with increased physical activity, goal-setting, self-monitoring, and feedback. Several studies have examined the

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease. In 2011, more than 575,000 people died of cancer, and more than 1.5 million people had a diagnosis of cancer. Millions more have been affected by cancer directly post diagnosis or indirectly by taking care of a loved one that had been diagnosed with cancer. The actual cost of such a disease extends well beyond the number of lives lost and new diagnoses each year. Cancer survivors, as well as their family members, friends, and caregivers, may face physical, emotional, social, and spiritual challenges as a result of their cancer diagnosis and treatment. The financial costs of cancer also are overwhelming. According to the National Institutes of Health,

Weight management can be assisted through improvement in food and medical stuff, physical activity or behavioral change, with a combination of all three being most effective. Where possible, increased physical activity should be adopted, with 150-300 minutes of moderate activity, or 75-150 minutes of vigorous activity each week, which has been associated with improved health outcomes, irrespective of weight loss. The level of physical activity recommended will be dependent on an individual’s BMI, fitness levels, commodities and age.(Prof.hankey (2006))

We as coaches must learn to bridge all the elements around us to make one functioning unit.

Cancer is a worldwide issue that has taken the lives of numerous people we know and love. These cancer patients went through more than just the health issues. They went through many sleepless nights, day after day of not feeling well, and the pain of all the treatments that followed. Each person went through more financial burdens than any one person should have to go through. They went through much more than anyone should ever have to experience. There are thousands of different kinds of cancer out there today, but one thing that all these cancers have in common is the fact that they all cause significant financial burdens, which should not be an issue. Not even one of them is easy to go through nor is it easy for one to have to get up and

My personal ability to maintain “a well-being” while engaged in coaching is to continue to remind myself why I am doing this job and why it is important. Like the passion and the love, I have for the sports and the goals that I set for my athletes that I will be coaching in the future. I will also do a monthly check in with myself and what I can do to better my coaching technique and skills. I will also do a survey with my athletes this will help me to see on areas I need to work on and improve.

A wellness coach is there to help their clients to be able to create a physical fitness plan that they can implement in their daily lives in order to stay healthy. There are a large percentage of adults in the United States that does not exercise on a daily basis in which can have a negative impact on their overall health in which diseases can develop such as diabetes, poor respiratory systems and cardiovascular diseases and some cancers. In the article “Are You Ready for Wellness Coaching?” ( Brogan, 2012), healthcare specialist such an wellness coach feel s that clients’ needs some one on one assistance for those who might have certain medical conditions from poor health (Brogan, 2012).

As a coach, I have had the pleasure of observing Jordan, as a volunteer, for a couple of months while he led practices for both the girls and boys St. Leo’s intermediate basketball team. His kindness and patience with the students was beautiful. Every Wednesday since October he would organize drills and lead scrimmages after school for two hours. The students benefitted greatly from his thorough understanding of the game and developed outstanding skills and sportsmanship under his direction. On occasion, he refereed games organized outside the Wednesday practices.

Introduction: - The worldwide burden of cancer is increasing very rapidly. Psychosocial care is very important aspect in improving quality of life that can decrease the overall burden of cost to the health care system. This is clearly an important goal in health care management.

Aim: In this investigation I will be focusing on coaching techniques in particularly for a netball team. The goal will be to develop a drill and skill training session, that will be delivered to an under 10 netball team at Gazelles Netball Team, Argana Park.

Some strongly believe that a requirement for adherence success is that movement professionals strive to understand the purposes behind one’s decision to begin exercising in the first place. In addition, it is thought that understanding what has prevented someone from beginning an exercise regimen in the past or the causes for relapse back into a sedentary lifestyle are also crucial tools for success. Once these variables have been identified, the professional and their client or student should be able to come up with ways to overcome these obstacles and plan ahead for periods of relapse. While it is important to be able to understand these barriers, the concern lies in the fact that this comprehension can only provide limited power to movement professionals. All the planning, discussions about overcoming barriers, and motivational tips have set them up for success, but it is their personal responsibility to follow through and maintain an exercise program, which can be a struggle when alone.

Reverse mentoring (where a more junior colleague mentors a senior leader) can also be effective in encouraging sharing and learning across generations and/or between role levels. More information on the use of mentoring to develop individuals for key or leadership positions can be found in our factsheet on succession planning and in our report The talent perspective on participants’ perceptions of talent management programmes. Go to our factsheet on succession planning Visit the talent perspective report CIPD members can make use of their mentoring skills in helping young job seekers into work through our Steps Ahead Mentoring campaign. Recent research published in our report Volunteering to learn: employee development through community action also demonstrates that such schemes and other volunteering opportunities can help build coaching and mentoring skills.

According to the American Cancer Society (2015a), a total of 589, 430 citizens of the United States are expected to die from cancer this year. In the United States, it is identified as the second most common cause of death next to heart disease. The term cancer is defined as a “group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells” (American Cancer Society, 2015a). A person dies from cancer once the spread of these abnormal cells is not controlled. Aside from the negative psychological and physical impacts of cancer, both on the patients and their families, cancer also results in a financial burden. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), around $88.7 billion were spent for the medical cost of cancer in the year 2011 in the United States alone (as cited in American Cancer Society, 2015a). With these facts, there is no doubt that cancer is a serious health condition that many people face today.
