Coach Boone Leadership Traits

The team was ready to come back home after all the hard practices at camp. The town still didn't accept the fact that these two races were going to play on the same team. The parents of some of the players didn't like it, and the town didn't like it. On top of that, Coach Boone had to win every game. If

In the beginning of the movie, Coach Boone had to build ethos for himself because of racial differences. Coach Boone, being of African American descent, was hired over their current caucasian coach and this caused the white football players to boycott the team until Coach Yoast became their assistant coach. Coach Boone lead his team by example and his dedication to his craft. He showed the players that he did not care about what color you wore on your skin, but of the sport that brought them together. During his speech he states “I don’t care if you like each other or not. But you will respect each other. And maybe, I don’t know, maybe we’ll learn to play this game like men” (Boone). He uses the built trust aspect of ethos very well to close this speech.

Leadership is shown in many ways in the movie and leadership is represented through main characters. Coach Boone first of all represents the entire black community overcoming the oppression that they have experienced through all of the years. He exhibits the determination that is inside all of the players to win the state championship

One of the factors that successfully reduced the majority of prejudice within the team was superordinate goals. The goals set by Boone were made purposely unachievable by a single member. The only way for these goals to be achieved is the cooperation of the entire team. As he told the team, their game must be “a team effort in order to achieve perfection”

In the movie Remember the Titans, coaches Yoast and Boone demonstrate leadership through the three leadership styles; authoritarian, democratic and laissez-faire.

The most important part of the trip was that the players became close to each other and the team was a family. Coach Boone made all of the players learn about each other and become comfortable with each other. The camp was also essential for conditioning and learning plays. Seeing how hard the players were pushed, you can tell that they would be in very good shape. There was a big difference of how the team was when they boarded the bus to go to the camp, and when they arrived home. I think that going to the camp was one of the biggest reasons for the teams success.

This offer was very tempting, and I think that this was the moment when Coach Yoast experienced the biggest moral dilemma, whether he should help Boone or not. In the beginning of the movie Yoast was not enthusiastic about the fact that he needs to step down, and give his position to a new black Coach. Despite the skin color, Coach Yoast realized that together with Boone they share one common goal. This goal is to win. Coach Yoast ethical dilemma was decision during the game, whether to be a good leader, help the team and Boone, or to stay quiet and see what happens. Regardless of the white and black difference, Yoast was the Coach , a man of his word, not just a random football fan. He faced referees during the game, and that was a crucial moment where two colors started to vanish.

As with most sports teams, the Titans have an autocratic leadership style. Coach Boone is the one and only person who makes the decisions, he is the main man in charge. The style is productive, and the team wins games. Although he has assistant coaches, such as Bill Yoast who is the defensive coordinator, all the decisions must go through Coach Boone first. The democratic leadership style is not applicable on a football team because that’s why teams have coaches. The team does not make group decisions. Coach Boone also uses Job Enlargement in ‘Remember the

Many stereotypes come into play at this point in the movie. The coaches gather up all the players so they can go to training camp at Gettysburg College, while gathering the students on a bus, Boone makes the players sit next to each other. Neither one of the ethnic groups like this very much. Once they get to the camp, they get paired to room together. One of the

While the rag-tag team of players enjoyed several glowing reviews over the decades, the Carlisle men felt like they were denied proper credit. A large portion of the press would attribute their victories to their White Yale coaches. Their losses, on the other hand were the inevitable evidence of their “Indian character flaws”.

Certain traits or qualities that an administrator can look for in an athletic coach would be someone

Yoast was dedicated to football and had gained loyalty from his team and white community. He was respected and had demonstrated his effective leadership through several wins. He was also nominated for hall of fame for his exceptional leadership. He cared for the people in his team. When he had the opportunity to leave and take up a position for head coach he did not because he was worried about the players in his team. He considered them like his own kids and was concerned for them and did not want to abandon them. He takes the offer of the assistant coach to ensure that his team members are a part of the new team. His initial objective was to ensure that his boys are a part of the team and are well taken care off.

Basketball teams need a coach that believes in them. The team needs a coach that will work hard to help them achieve the goal of winning. They need a coach that communicates and shows interest in each of the players. On the other hand, they need a coach that can be directive, but also supportive. In the case study this week, Shirley was quite the opposite. Conflicting enough, by all appearances she did not have a total grasp of the concept of leadership in coaching basketball. Factors that could cause the lack of leadership could be confidence or even lack of knowledge (Cohen, 2000). In this paper, Shirley’s leadership style and behavior will be discussed, along with looking at situational factors and other leadership styles that

Coach Boone in Remember the Titans demonstrates the leader-follower relationship which states that the leader can influence their subordinates through his relationships with the latter (Niemeyer, 2016). To gain the support of their subordinates, leaders develop them through mentoring, delegating, and promoting collaboration (Niemeyer, 2016). In turn, the leadership impacts the subordinates’ engagement, initiative and performance (Niemeyer, 2016). Coach Boone led his team by asserting that they were a team who would dominate the season through perfection. As a result, the practices were all hard.

Coach Knight focused on the importance of preparation to win and provided players with the tools necessary to do so through rules, discipline and leading by example. Coach Knight instilled the will to win through a drill that required players to fight for the ball. This simple drill emphasized the will to win through preparation rather than the skill itself. Players gained the drive and confidence to do well and want to do well. Coach Knight used discipline to reinforce his motivational tools by being fair to all and never playing favorites. He disciplined players for performing poorly by threatening to take away scholarships, benching starters or throwing players out of practice if the behavior persisted. He reinforced his leadership style through example by not settling for less than perfect. Coach Knight expected perfection and was never satisfied with just winning but with the mistakes that were made. His idea of a perfect win was a win with no mistakes and he never tolerated less than that. He felt if he did tolerate mistakes then so would his players. His belief and motivation gave players a will to do better and in relation to the LMX theory this kind of leadership with subordinates is what makes an effective leader.
