Coach Motivation

Coaching can take many forms, life coaching, business coaching, performance coaching etc. As with mentoring and counselling it is about helping the individual to gain self awareness, but it is goal focused and action is required so that the individual can move forward. The goal setting process has two components: skill development and psychological development. The outcome sought is that the "coachee" will achieve the goals set, and

Hence, knowing how to effectively build relationships with people is fundamental to being a successful life coach. This research paper will explore the dynamics of the coaching relationship as it relates to factors, such as commonalities and compatibilities, which influence the development and maintenance of effective relationships, as well as components that are critical to the

Having a coach in life will positively influence your character and your skills. Also, having a coach doesn’t necessarily mean that your playing on a field. A coach can be anyone from a role model to a parent or guardian, a teacher, a pastor, a mentor, or sometimes even a best friend. One of the most important things for a coach to have is influence, and more important than that is that the influence he has on his players must be positive. As a leader, a coaches job is to better his players on and off of the field. This is done by developing the character of his players through encouragement and helping them understand that the game is more than just about winning. A good coach will always put the needs of his players first before he considers himself as a factor. If a coach is successful his players will develop a strong sense of self-motivation.

Many of my life’s most significant events coincided with my coaching career. I opened a business, went back to school, and even met my wife. It also marks the period of my life when I began a maturation process, albeit several years overdue. Prior to the start of my coaching, I stumbled from one phase of my life to another, my immaturity and lack of direction fueling each other in a vicious cycle. While coaching may not have been the event that triggered my maturation, it certainly signified the beginning of a new era in my life, an era punctuated by a renewed understanding and appreciation of the same traits I worked to pass onto my players. During

Reflecting daily upon these values will increase my ability to articulate a holistic coaching philosophy. A personal coaching philosophy can be used as a tool itself, enabling a coach to question their practices and develop their own understanding and knowledge (Nash, et al., 2008). Already being interested in Sports Psychology, the reflective learning practice was already something I was aware of and keen to know more about.

While conducting a research on the need for life mentorship, CFO Magazine set out a free online research questionnaire with the question "Does everyone need a life coach?" The questionnaire was emailed to random people from all walks of life to state whether they felt the need to have a life coach in their lives and why. Surprisingly, over 95% of the respondents did state that everyone needs a life coach. However, they were a little bit hesitant in paying their life coaches. Why? They felt that the maxims traded by the life coaches ought to be free and not charged any penny. In conclusion CFO magazine stated that coaches have the ability to see things from a far. They have a helicopter vision and are able to help individuals struggling with all spheres of life be it in finance, romance, parenthood, goal-setting, jobs, career-guidance, academics, religion, marriage and the general

The coach tirelessly pursues personal education, formally and informally, both in the performance related sciences and in liberal arts. He sees the journey to coaching excellence as a never ending story; seen not only in terms of a chosen sport and coaching theory and practice, but in understanding how to successfully live a balanced and full life, while facing tougher and tougher challenges in the chosen field of endeavour.

Overcoming the fact that one day you will not be able to play your sport is one of the hardest things all athletes must one day go through. It is a fact of the game that one day your eligibility runs out or if you are one of the lucky few who play professionally, your body’s years of health do not last forever. Coaching just to be around the sport and spread the joy that sport gave you for so many years. My coaching philosophy relies extremely heavily on this information. I have always been a person who is passionate about the things I love because I do not believe in not putting your whole heart into something. The most critical component to success in whatever sport you love lies in honoring the game that so many before you loved and excelled at. Excelling and honoring the game means having respect for everyone involved with the sport. Giving respect to your coaches is something I learned from the beginning. Being respectful and having a positive attitude learned at a young age is something completely taken for granted until you have adults who can neither adapt nor be flexible when something does not go their way. Sport is a form of education in that it teaches you similar life lessons that will be useful for far longer than the amount of time that you spend actually playing it.

Therefore, changes in motivation can be reflected in someone’s behavior and his or her well-being. Those who feel that they are coaching because they want to, will be successful, and feel that coaching allows them to acquire relationships with their players, and display more motivation for coaching. Being aware of why someone coaches their sport is an important part of reflective practice. One person’s

Coaching is the art of facilitating another person’s learning, development and performance. Through coaching people are able to find their own solutions, develop their own skills and change their own behaviors and attitudes.

Crane & Patrick (2005), suggested “Coaching requires the very best from all aspects of our humanity. It is not a path for the weak-hearted or for people who are afraid to grow. It is a path for the courageous and for people who are committed to making a difference in the lives of those they touch through coaching” (p. 217). The spiritual aspect of coaching as it relates to this previous quote is that we must be willing to be like the eagle as shared in Isaiah 40:3, “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” The effective coach must be willing to stay in for the long haul, when things are not moving as quickly as you would like.

Coaching has existed since the emergence of human beings. Since ancient times, older people with richer experiences guided nascent individuals and taught them how to hunt, fight, etc., so that they could become effective, useful, and powerful in the community in which they belonged. Even in the 21st century, coaching begins at birth; parents are our first coaches, who teach us how to do things in a certain way and show us what is right and wrong. Then, teachers become our coaches by motivating and directing us toward becoming more effective and successful at what we do. Ultimately, we become an adult and join an organization, and then our bosses and managers become our coaches.
