Coaching Philosophy

My exposure and engagement with the materials and ideas presented in Coaching for Performance have influenced my leadership philosophy immensely. A larger understanding of the impact that coaching can have on myself and those I work with has bolstered my belief in the weaving of servant and situational leadership styles and how I can approach challenges in a new manner by embracing a coaching perspective. The goals presented in this paper are a starting point in my journey to explore how I can explore avenues to implement a coaching culture in my present school, and district. I know this will be a complex task, but I have been exposed to a variety of resources and concepts not only from the course material and interactions with my peers but

I believe that athletes excel in sports they enjoy and I hope to make the experience the best it can be for them,

The term “burnout” was initially developed by the psychologist Herbert Freudenberger in the 19th century (1).Then, later described by Maslach and Jackson as a syndrome characterized by emotionalexhaustion(EE), depolarization (DP) and reduced sense of personal accomplishment(PA).

Burnout out refers to a state of physical, emotional and psychological exhaustion that occurs due to prolonged engagement in work situations that are emotionally exacting (Maslach et al. 2001, Schufeli & Greenglass 2001, Schaufeli Et al. 2009). It is characterized by three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment (Maslach 1976). Of the three dimensions, emotional exhaustion is recognized as being most central to understanding burnout from one’s work (Maslach et al. 2001, Cox et al. 2005). Emotional burnout was the focus of this

A coach’s ethics and values underpin the coaching process and will have either a positive or negative impact on the participants. They should be able to follow and adhere to their own coaching philosophies in each stage of their delivery and encourage and empower participants to make effective choices and decisions about which technical and tactical requirements they need to use in their particular sport.

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.

-Maslach and Leiter’ article is about burnout and how it can lead to serious problems that affect a person job performance and quality of life. Burnout among different professionals is a social concern, so Malsach and Leiter discuss that there is a need for more burnout research. Both journalists have researched that there are 1,000 articles on some aspect of burnout, but none of the articles focus specifically on burnout itself. Malasch and Leiter want burnout research to focus on the many aspects of burnout, so people affected by burnout can propose their ideas and solutions.

Do you ever feel tired after endless days of work, exhausted after the daily grind, or distraught after you poor your heart and soul into a task only to be repaid in only the most minuscule of scraps? Eventually, you are not happy anymore. You go back to work in order to physically survive, but you definitely are not thriving. This is actually a serious condition, referred to as burnout, which is affecting millions of Americans according to an article written by Jari J. Hakanen and Arnold B. Bakker speaking of this little-discussed topic. The article, titled “Born and Bred to Burn Out” introduces its topic fairly well and contains fairly high quality of research used, at least in my eyes. It mentions how it was difficult to obtain its research,

What benefits can coaching culture convey to an organization and its leaders? Coaching has a significant benefit to the one who is being coached and the organization as a whole. Therefore, the role of coaching in an organizational leadership team could be very rewarding for the parties involved. As stated by Goldsmith, Lyons & McArthur, 2012, the importance of coaching in an organization is to help successful leaders achieve positive, long-term, measurable change in behavior for themselves, their people and their teams. Coaching is more about improving the leader’s behavior rather than improving who the leaders are asserted by Goldsmith, Lyons & McArthur, 2012.

The most important part of being a coach is being able to have your players believe in you and your philosophy. When you have a love for the game, you are able to help your players understand dedication, to develop their talent and to know how to prepare for a win. The experience I have had with coaching has been very little and mostly with my town’s Biddy Basketball league. Yet, I have learned that becoming a great coach takes time and getting there is not always easy. There are three objectives in coaching: Winning, having fun and development of athletes. Choosing the order is hard, but important because it will aid in understanding how they all work together to have a successful team.

Burnout may include depression. In that case, the person is exhausted, hopeless, indifferent, and believe that there is nothing for them in the future. To them, there is no meaning of life, tupical depression symptoms arise.

We as professionals have two types of instruments to help assess burnout. The Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Emotional Exhaustion Scales are two tests from the first type which assist with determining the degree of burnout. The Maslach Burnout Inventory measures the three symptom patterns associated with burnout. Golembiewski, Munzenrider and Stevenson (2005) used the Maslach Inventory to develop a progressive phase model of burnout. The model sees depersonalization as the least potent and initial burnout phase. They see any substantial reduction in feelings of personal accomplishment as a secondary phase. Emotional exhaustion is the third phase and the most potent indicator of burnout. (James, pg. 490-91)

Coaching at it’s roots is just another form of teaching about the adversity and unpredictability of life. The opportunity to be a coach is a tremendous honor and responsibility no matter the age, skill, or seriousness of the team/athlete. Players are placing their trust in your ability to help them achieve success whether it be by personal or collective gain. Furthermore, players look to a coach to be a role model, so coaching demands tremendous character at all times. Because I played on a multitude of sports teams in my playing career, I have been exposed to many different coaches and coaching philosophies. Some have been good experiences and others not as much, but irregardless they have all taught me something about coaching.

Occupational Burnout is the professional combustion or fatigue in is experienced is characterized by lack of motivation and fatigue work, the ineffectiveness of which result in reduced effectiveness in the workplace. This causes tension for a long time and the pressure that employees might encounter on the job. This is one of the main problems that result in the workplace. This would be the implementation of the proposed research as well as primary and secondary research to stop for professional workers syndrome in the workplace.

A burnout refers to the distressed psychological state an employee might experience after being on the job for a period of time. Employees who suffer from a burnout are emotionally exhausted and have low work motivation (i.e. possessing little energy and enthusiasm for the job). Burnouts are the results of working intensely with other people. A study in 2000 done by Bakker, Schaufeli, Sixma, Bosveld and Van Dierendonck found that patient demands are associated with burnout in physicians and led to emotional exhaustion (e.g. absence and fatigue), depersonalization (e.g. hostility towards others or callous and uncaring treatment of clients and other people) and reduced personal accomplishment (e.g. low motivation and poor performance).
