Good morning ladies and gentlemen! First and foremost we wish to welcome you into the auditorium of modern fashion.

We have gathered here today to present to you a SWOT analysis, organizational strategies, and the vision and mission statement of Sports girl.
Growing up, my life consisted playing the game of basketball. Playing the game has taught so many valuable life skills. That’s the main reason for my interest in coaching. I want to teach young people the same things that helped me grow as an athlete and person.
Having grown up in the Tahoe Truckee area, my participation in athletics, and a multitude of other team based activities, have consumed a vast majority of my teenage life, and have aided in my finding a variety of things I am passionate about. These activities have taught me many important life skills that I am able to contribute to both the Team community and community as a whole. These competencies include a strong sense of leadership, accountability, a clear sense of self, and effective communication, all of which I utilize in my day to day life. These skills also provide me with the ability to set effective goals and accomplish them.
During the time of the 1800s and the early 1900s the United States of America became more imperialistic than it ever has before. Some of these places that America took control of later became actual states of the United States or ended up having good relationships with America. Throughout this time, there was a real thought again about the manifest destiny method. This manifest destiny was seen beyond the United States, but also seen outside of America by taking control or influencing other countries. The expansion of the American Navy, and the victory in the Spanish-American war effected the decision to become imperialistic in the eyes of America. This war forced Spain to give control over Cuba to the United States and grant Puerto Rico, Guam,
It is my job as a coach to help develop athletes physically, psychologically, and socially while helping them have fun by playing a sport. I will do this by being enthusiastic and having a positive attitude in practice, games, and while not coaching. This cooperative approach to coaching will create a sense of community within the team I coach, and the athletes will feel more welcome to discuss their thoughts, ideas, questions, and concerns with me. Creating this setting and relationships with athletes will only benefit the team by creating a team culture necessary for the well-being and success of high school sports’ teams. Success in sports means accomplishing goals set by the team, not winning. Winning is important, but just striving to win is even more vital toward the success of teams. As a coach, I will also be a motivator for athletes. Athletes will see me come to practice with a positive attitude, displaying my passion. This is the beginning of how I will motivate athletes. Motivation starts with my attitude, and athletes pick up on this. In order to motivate and want to be motivated, there must be a reason, a why? I will use the teams’ goals they will set, in order to motivate them to give their best effort in order to achieve success by reaching their
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
The experience of coaching impacted me majorly, and helped to build my character to what it is today. This service project was not only extremely important to the community, it was also extremely important to me personally because I was able to express this love with young girls that were aspiring to follow my in footsteps. The pressure of having young girls look up to me in every aspect of life such as, cheerleading, academics, and character, added to the accountability of building my character to one that is desirable. Because I knew so many young girls were looking up to me, I made sure that I set the example that my five year old self once looked up
The clouds blocked the beaming sun from reaching the inside of the cornucopia in which my cousins all smiled and posed. Some of them were kneeling, others standing behind them. All of them seemed to be having a good time together. Then there was little me in the background wearing my pink summer dress with my little red, yellow and blue backpack dangling from my shoulders. I stood with my arms folded in front of me; a glare beamed from my face in the direction of the camera. My sassy attitude seems to have no affect on my cousins. It was the day of our annual family trip to Chicago. A day filled with family fun, Garrett's popcorn, and walks through Chicago’s many parks. These family-fun packed trips have dwindled from being anual to being non-existent as everyone grew up.
After World War One ended, Germany needed a charismatic leader. Someone who would lead them to victory and help them when they were down. A man, by the name of Adolf Hitler, came along and did exactly that.Hitler believed that the reason they lost the war is that of the propaganda that they used. Hitler was going to change that. He used propaganda to his advantage and that’s how he gained people on his side.
The coach sees himself as preparing people not only for achievement in sport, but through sport for a life of personal fulfilment and for the enrichment of community.
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.
At about the age of twelve, I decided I wanted to coach basketball for a living. My dad had given me some great advice. He said, “When you are choosing a future career, decide what you would do for free and pick that as your career. That way, you are almost always happy and will most likely enjoy your job.” So I thought to myself, “I love and enjoy basketball, why not teach the game to others?”
The formation of a concrete sense of self is one of the milestones of adolescence. However, this task is anything but easy. The teenage years are full of turmoil and changes that can have a detrimental affect on a girl's sense of identity and
Teenage years are the time of a person’s life when they really start exploring their identity, who they are and who they want to be. During these years it can be hard trying to figure out who you are and where you belong, with the constant
Later on in life, I plan on being either a physical education teacher or an elementary education teacher and I also plan on being a varsity level tennis and basketball coach. My intentions as the head of the tennis program are to instill leadership qualities in each and every one of my players. I plan on leading by example, coming to practice willing to
