Coach Education System

I work as a gymnastics coach at Trousdell Gymnastics Center. It is a recreational center that provides programs for all Tallahassee residents, specializing in gymnastics and exercise. The goal of this organization is to provide a safe and affordable program that keeps the community fit and engaged. They offer recreational gymnastics classes for boys and girls of all ages. There are also preschool and kindergarten programs for the younger children. On the other end of the spectrum there are adult classes that teach gymnastics and overall fitness. In addition, the gym offers classes for children with special needs. Finally, Trousdell offers a competitive gymnastics program for exceptional boys and girls. Three Olympic gymnasts have come through this program. Trousdell Gymnastics Center is named after a former Tallahassee Parks and Recreation Director Randy Trousdell, a man passionate about his community and the health of its children. Since it’s opening over 60 years ago the gym has impacted 500,000 children’s lives. I coach recreational classes for girls ages seven to fifteen years old. I begin every class by leading an extensive stretch and then we go to the events of the day where I set up stations for gymnasts to practice different skills. I end every class with conditioning to help the gymnasts grow stronger so that they can perform skills successfully. Trousdell Gymnastics Center coaches have a responsibility to these children. It is our goal to make the two hours a

I am very interested in the position of Learning Coach within USD 497. With experience in both K-12 and higher education, I have a very diverse skillset that reflects my passion to support students, teachers and administrators in the pursuit of improving teaching and learning. As an Instructional Coach (IC) for the Katy Independent School District (KISD) in Katy, Texas and a School Improvement Specialist (SIS) for the Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD) in Houston, Texas, I experienced great success creating a positive and supportive work environment, guiding collaborative planning teams and refocusing instructional strategies that eventually led to improved test scores and learning outcomes.

The New York Jets are actively pursuing free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins. With four quarterbacks expected to go early in the 2018 NFL Draft, here’s why Gang Green should not waste their time signing him.

         For years gymnastics has been a sport that many children participate in. But as the years have gone by it has turned into something other than a place for kids to grow and learn. Its overwhelming commitment has continued to replace kids’ childhoods with stress, mental and physical pain and eating disorders. Many results have come from this change in the gymnastics society. Gymnasts have come to a point where they have been told and directed to understand that winning is the only important factor in gymnastics. “ It’s about the elite child athlete and the American obsession with winning that has produced a training environment wherein results are bought in at any cost, no matter how

Anyone can train an athlete, but for you truly help them and give them the best training, you must have patience. Helping athletes build on their skills, and fulfilling their potential doesn't just come within an hour or two, it takes dedication. If an athlete doesn't have a certain skill, you have to work until they develop it. From an athlete's perspective, a good coach that helps work with them even when they have an off day is what really matters and holds a major key to success. If every

Sports have been a very big part of my life ever since I can remember. I began to participate in sports when I was about six years old. Now, thirteen years later, I’m a sophomore in college playing basketball at a Division 3 school. Through the years I have seen many different styles of coaching and teaching done by my mentors. The variety of different styles and how each one taught me throughout my years is astonishing to look back at. My coaching philosophy I believe would hit many aspects and could teach athletes important values in their life.

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. It is understood that coaching philosophy is known as our personal creed, set of beliefs and knowledge base which helps guide our own thoughts, actions and leadership style. Building a coaching philosophy will help an individual become a better

A coaching philosophy is a base for which a coach works and seeks guidance from, said to be “built on a set of standards by which a coach influences, teaches, and models” (Van Mullen, 2013, p.29). Described as a collection of values, beliefs, assumptions, attitudes, principles and priorities which underpin practice (Lyle, 2002). When creating a Coaching Philosophy there are four aspects a coach should reflect upon, and scaffold their philosophy around-Axiology, Ontology, Epistemology and Pedagogy. Axiology, encompasses morals, values, ethics, and ideals which coaches place differing importance on. Important in a coaching context, as it informs the type of culture and environment a coach creates within a team(Fyall, 2017). Hardman (2008) suggests

As a gymnastics coach the most important thing that you must acquire not only from your athletes, but also from your co-workers is their trust. When your athlete is preforming a more complex skill where more can go wrong you need more than one spotter or person to help so nothing goes wrong. When working with other coaches you both have to be in sync and be ready in two different places so neither of the skills goes wrong and if one does go wrong both coaches will be there to make sure the athlete does not get hurt. There is a mutual trust between athlete and coach where if the coach loses the athletes trust that athlete will not perform in the same way ever again. Every event in gymnastics is based off of floor, and weather as a coach if you

I’ve found many organizations that could help me in on professional development, professional organizations, and finding a mentor. The one that stood out to me was the ICF( International Coaching Federation). The ICF is an organization who’s purpose is to advance the art, science and practice of professional coaching. The ICF has independent certifications and a large network of coaches. Being involved in the organization would allow coaches to develop coaching skills, establish a professional standard, and network. It also includes discounts on events, staff support, and continuing coaching education. To join there is a $245 fee that is billed annually, as well as a Membership Eligibility Requirements. Having a mentor can be a very useful

At the dawn of a new gymnastics season with no seniors, my coach had to decide who would be the varsity captain. I was honored when she chose me and by the confidence that she had in me, but I was uneasy. I was a fifteen-year-old junior, the only African American on the team, and expected to lead a team of girls from two rival high schools. The odds seemed stacked against me. With hopes of pushing my team to new heights, I worked harder and led by example. I challenged myself, and respectfully challenged my teammates to always give their best efforts. Eventually, we transformed from participants to teammates.

As a coach, in order to get the most production out of a player, you have to know what method of coaching each player responds to the best. Some players have to be yelled at in order to get pissed off, others just need to feel respected and talked to instead of being screamed at. Ron Jackson, or Coach Jack as we call him, is the man that taught me being a coach doesn’t mean yelling during the whole practice. It means understanding the kids you are working with physically and emotionally. I am a player that doesn’t respond well to yelling or screaming. I very easily get down on myself, not because I feel bad for myself, but because I feel I disappointed my coaches. Coaches that spent their time teaching me the fundamentals of football and that
