Evaluation Of A Program Coordinator

Over the last two decades the growth of youth sports has reflected the popularity of professional sports in our society. Sporting events and news are available to the public twenty-four hours a day on television and radio: sports are an enormous industry. The outstanding popularity of the sports industry has profoundly affected youth sports organizations. An estimated twenty-five million children age six through eighteen participate in at least one school or community based athletic program. These numbers increase exponentially as the age of boys and girls entering sports keeps falling. In order to supervise, teach and manage these athletes about 2.5 million coaches spend an average of eighty

Sports can be viewed as a learning environment that helps individuals learn life lessons, foster strong work habits and develop core values all the while learning a sport skill. Youth sports that truly benefit young athletes should be structured to emphasize participation more than just competition. Children enjoy a sport more when they are able to have fun (Humpries). Despite many excesses some sport programs still manage to promote important virtues like self- confidence, teamwork, personal responsibility, coping skills, and persistence. Through sports kids can learn to stay organized and learn how to prioritize (Ferguson). Sports enables development of physical skills and increasing proficiency makes kids feel good about themselves. It teaches kids that failure is something to overcome and and not to fear (Meyerhoff 8-9). Youth sports has many aspects that are truly benefiting for children, but these benefits are slowly being clouded by the negatives that are prominent in today's youth sports.

Being an ‘OAP’ comes with many different discounted opportunities especially within the sporting environment, the older generation are often offered with a range of different options for sport. This is a great way in which to encourage elderly people to participate in sport. By reducing prises you widen the desirability of the opportunity and due to retirement=lack of money and funds…reducing prises makes sport more affordable and therefore doable to senior members of society.

One thing almost every young child looks forward to is the activity of play. Kids love nothing more than to go outside, run around with friends, and get dirty. If children are already active at a young age, why not encourage them to continue by enrolling them in an organized youth sport program? Young people will gain many positive experiences by participating in organized physical activities, but none as important and influential as the social skills, physical skills, and mental skills developed and nurtured during their time in youth sport. As a result, the young participants can continue to build upon and cultivate these skills which will ultimately be transferred into their development as successful adults. Along with the social and

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.

My most memorable baseball experience came not when I was eight, beating several of my friends on the opposing Little League team, not when I was 15, against our cross-town rivals pushing my school team into the JV playoffs, but just a couple weeks ago, marking the first win of the team that I helped to coach. It was just the second game of our season, and only an hour and a half long, but it was a representation of the backbreaking work applied by everyone involved. After my ninth grade year playing JV ball, I decided that I needed to focus on my school work, as it was tough to maintain my grades while juggling sports and other extracurricular activities. However, I continued to play club baseball, as my passion for the game never faltered. The trend continued in my junior year, as I needed to drop club baseball in order to keep up with the challenging courses I took. My coach, who I’ve been with since 6th grade, asked me to come back out whenever I was available so I could help prepare a team of the younger boys in the program for the upcoming season. One of my core beliefs is that it’s essential to give back to those who helped or supported you; the least I could do for all the years that my coach helped me, was

Dr. Roland Rogers felt that the elderly citizens and mostly women are more vulnerable to being robbed and attacked not only on the streets, but also at home. Dr. Rogers has provided a self-defense class to prevent attacks on those who get clarified as “soft targets”. He highly recommends attending so one can learn how to break free from a snatcher to possibly escaping a home invasion. The last segment that Nancy spoke about was getting the attention of those who are interested in being a volunteer coach for our city’s parks and recreational team. Most people become intimidated since it’s assumed you must play sports or be an expert at it, but recreational center is stating otherwise. Their main goal is to give local kids an opportunity to learn and play the sports they are interested. All the team is asking from the volunteers is their time and patience to work with them. This is also a more fun enticing way to build community service hours as

First thing I had to digest was the power of a team. My view of sports in middle school was a vary individual centralized system. The best thing an athlete could do in my eyes was become the best they could be. Little did I contemplate what a team did. Here, sports team participate in a wide verity of volunteer opportunities and services for the community. We set up and tear down public events, run kids camps, and operate ice cream trucks. With Gus Macker we help stimulate our local economy to untold amounts from tourist traffic. We are able to do this because of the team structure we already have in place.

To begin with, I expected to just help as needed and be a standby for the coach. Little did I know, I would be participating and teaching the children my knowledge of basketball skills. The first day of practice only one child showed up with six volunteers, so we participated and practiced with the child. I noticed the child had apparent cognition delays and was unable to make a basket. I began to analyze his actions and learning techniques to figure out how I could help. In no time, I was able to design an intervention that would prepare the child to successfully shoot a basketball. I noticed his style of learning was repetitive motion so I told him to, “Bend your knees, and jump for the sky.”

The program coordinator realized that it was not Carla to miss work, and she inclined that something wasn't right. In an agency, a co-worker is exceptionally similar to a more of an extended family. They spend the more significant part of their waking hours with them, fashioning extraordinary obligations of trust and friendship that are not at all like other relationships. According to Plummer, Makris and Brocksen, 2018) the program coordinator was demonstrating leadership and empathy skills since she was worry about Carla, and the clients and needed to know whether they might want to see another person (if in crisis). The program Coordinator reached the local police to complete a welfare check to guarantee that Carla was alright. However, Carla was discovered dead in her home (Plummer et al., 2018). According to Northouse (2018), Constructive conflict management requires extensive social skills. A manager must have the capacity to adjust their conflict management behaviors to a given circumstance. Northouse (2018) found the strength of social systems lies somewhat in how managers prevent severe conflicts and when conflicts do emerge, how they address them to keep up framework integrity and save the well-being of their members. Organizations adapt to changes in the environment by confronting significant conflicts, tending to them and redesigning the need to manage them (Northouse, 2018). Conflict

Set rules for parents and coaches. Some people don’t understand that “Adults attitudes and behaviors can thus either help or hurt kids’ sports experiences.” (Moser) If the parent or coach is mean then the child will not have fun and want to quit. If the rules were in place, then the parent would have to have a good attitude and if they have a good attitude then the child will have one too. Furthermore “Adults should maintain a balance between the needs of the team and the needs of the child.” (Moser) The parent should not push the child to hard because then the child would burnout, but if there were rules in place that the child should only be allowed to practice for a certain amount of time each week then the child could have a social life along with having fun during sports. However, “Adults, such as parents, guardians, and coaches, are the role models, and set the tone for fun.” (Moser) If the adults do not set a good tone, then the overall tone will be bad, but if the tone set by the parents is good then the overall tone will be good too and the child will have fun. In contrast, there needs to be rules for parents and coaches. These rules would be do not push a child past its limits, allow free time, and make the sport fun and

Since the creation of man, sports have had a tremendous role in the way people live their lives. From the time we are born, until our elderly age, most of us are involved in some way with sports. Whether it is a scrimmage game of soccer at recess in elementary school, playing on the varsity athletic team or simply watching the Olympics or sporting events on television, sports have an influential role in our everyday lives. The outstanding popularity of the sports industry has profoundly affected youth sports organizations that an estimated twenty-six million children ages six through eighteen participate in at least one school or community based athletic program (Smith & Smoll, 1997). Well structured sport programs can provide youths with

Sports are a way of life for most families across the United States and one sport that is flourishing and showing rapid growth is ice hockey (Peters, 2013). Hockey is becoming a very popular sport to watch and this means new players at all age groups are starting to play. With new players starting as young as 4 years old and adults starting at many different age groups, the numbers of players are growing at a continuous rate. As most sports, you can’t have organized play without officials that are there to enforce the rules of the game and ensure Hockey associations across the country are trying to expand and grow to allow as many kids and adults to play hockey, however, these same associations are beginning to feel the crunch due to game

The popularity of sports and the increasing number of individuals participating has grown steadily over the past four decades. In high school sports alone, there has been over a 50% increase in total participants between male and female athletes combined from 1971 to 2009 (Masteralexis, 2012). With this type of hyper growth and popularity, organized athletics presents challenges in the ability manage, administer, and develop proper personal to create successful sport programs. Participating in organized athletics can and should be a positive experience but is very dependent on those individuals that are leading. Depending on the size of the organization, the leader may be the athletic director,
