Coaching At The Local Soccer Coaches

I think it is safe to say that the coach has several roles to perform; with the main objective being to develop the person being coached. This can be achieved by increasing self-confidence, identifying relevant and suitable topics for coaching as well as agreeing the setting of suitable planned tasks to support the learning process.

At their finest, coaches perfect their player’s flaws to push them to their potential ability, improve their skills, and create determination within the team. They can expand the importance of such a sport to intensify motivation and the value of good sportsmanship for the sake of not only their reputation, but the outcome that comes from it. Coaches must not lag when it comes to hardships that comes about; they must stay connected. The closer the connection between a player and a coach the better they are moving forward and continuing on the love of the sport and job.

Coaching is a useful way to develop people’s skills and abilities, and of boosting performance. It can also help deal with issues and challenges before they become major problems. Coaching typically begins with a personal interview with the employee to assess the situation, review current opportunities and challenges. After the interview, priorities for action are established along with specific desired outcomes. Individuals may also be asked to complete specific action items in a certain period of time that support the achievement of desired goals. Resources may also be provided such as articles, checklists and assessments.

Research proved that athletes found their coaches training as well as instruction behavior and their style of coaching did have an impact on individual performance. This was important research for me in understanding how those I coach perceive my leadership and whether or not I am effective as their leader. My teams’ outstanding performance or lack of performance can be a direct link to my type of leadership skills in addition to my training. The primary role of any coach or athletic leader is to help their athletes and improve on their individual performance. “Several sport studies exploring the coach-athlete relationship claim that effective coaching includes basic ingredients such as empathic understanding, honesty, support, liking, acceptance, friendliness, cooperation, caring and respect” (Moen, Hoigaard, & Peters, 2014, p. 76). The challenge for me is finding the balance between being supportive and meeting the individual needs of team members while also enhancing their ability and understanding of the sport. Understanding how to lead and coach various personalities within the team is essential to the team’s

Finally, I would use all these examples of coaching in my own coaching. The thing that means the most to me in coaching is this: 1) Be me, listen thoroughly without interruption or daydreaming. 2) Master the art of critical thinking questions that help guide the client to look inwardly to discover the answer that is right for them, not me. 3) Empower them with positive reinforcement. 4) Love them like Jesus

This essay hopes to discuss the importance of coaching by analyzing the views of Doctor Gawande. Doctor Gawande is one of the highly educated professionals who decided that he needs help to come up with a solution to challenges he comes across. Doctor Gawande believes that only a few individuals can give their best performances without the help of others regardless of their level of training. In addition to this, Doctor Gawande decided that he wants coaching because he is expected to reach certain goals. He believes that by reaching his goals he will be able to get into the habit of accomplishing personal, organizational, or team goals.

Coaching is paramount to helping teachers improve their craft. There are a variety of different coaching models that a coach can consider. A coach will consider many factors when making the decision on what model to use. Some schools or districts may have a model in place that they want all of their coaches to use. When a coach needs to decide on the coaching model, he or she will use, will consider a variety of elements. The two coaching models I will discuss are the instructional coaching method and the content coaching model. The information I gather about my colleague will determine the best coaching model to use when we collaborate with one another.

There are a number of definitions to what coaching is; I feel that I can personally relate to the following definition:

“Coaching is the universal language of change and learning,” said CNN in a recent sports column. There are several different styles of coaching: command, submissive, cooperative, motivational, etc. I have had several different coaches in my high school career. (BE 7) Therefore, some of them were terrible at coaching while others excelled at it. Out of all of the coaches I have had there are two coaches who stick out in my mind as the best. (BE 11) Because of their motivational coaching styles, Erik Jolivette and Jeff Short are the best coaches I have ever had.

Coaching is a two-way process, so being able to communicate with the coachee is a vital part of the coaching program. The coach should not be judgemental or try to impose or influence the coachee in any way. The communication from the coach needs be clear and precise at all times, so as not to cause any confusion.

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.

Coaching, however challenging, is a great way to influence the lives of others while also building their character. For as long as there have been sports, there have been people teaching the sport to the players and making them better at it. Coaches must have certain qualities in order to obtain success. One must also look at a coach’s motivation for his job, his passion for what he does, his methods for coaching, and how he became a coach in order to fully understand him. There are many questions someone may want to ask a coach about his profession if they are interested in coaching. Some questions would include: Why did he choose this as a profession? How did he get into coaching? What does one have to do to get a job as a coach? How

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.

As an inexperienced coach, I know I will have a lot to prepare myself for teaching a large group of the athlete. As for me, I am going to be a coach that wants to win but understand that my players will have to have an education first. I’m going to development my player to be my top priority. I will have my players to have a contract that they will not receive anything lower than a C in any course he/she will take. Why? Because I want them to be smart and have a backup plan in case of failure as in an emergency. As a coach upon victories and defeats as teaching moments to build on self-confidence and positive character traits such as discipline, self-motivation, self-worth, and excitement of being a coach. I want to have a partnership with
