Head Coach Observation

Sports management is a really broad field, therefore I decided to focus on my minor and one of my major interests of this field: coaching. In this paper I will be explaining my personal five building blocks that make up a well-rounded coaching philosophy and coach. Those blocks are; leadership, organization, attitude, respect, and resiliency. Each of these five aspects are equally important and balance each other out. Leadership, the action of leading a group of athletes towards a goal. Organization, being able to organize a team and have a plan in order to help the team achieve goals. Attitude, it is very important for a coach to have a winning and positive attitude that is contagious to the players. Respect, there has to be a good

I believe that their should stricter rules on how coaches treat their players. There have been many issues on how coaches treat their players like when coaches yell at their players they may cuss at them instead of explaining to them. When coaches need to talk to one of their players they yank them and pull them and that isn’t really needed.

The biggest difference between good coaches and bad coaches is how they influence and handle a their players. A good coach can push a kids out of their comfort zone to make him/her play better. Good coaches also make the players a better person in society and help them gain confidence. A good coach is a fair coach who sees all of his athletes as equals even when some athletes are superior to others. A bad coach does the opposite of what good coaches. They have a negative effect on the children they coach. Bad coaches can make practice a hostile environment pushing the kids to their mental and physical limit. Bad coaches also cut down their players confidence rather than build it

As an athlete, I acknowledge the guidance and energy thrived off a special coaches. To recognize that their main priority is to guide us with positive vibes and to play the role as another effective role model in our lives. They’re are more than the ones who corrects your mistakes, pushes you regardless of your indecisive to do anything,

Through all of my research, one thing was constant; the single most important thing that a coach can do is build a relationship with their players. When coaches take their time to get to know each and every one of their players, the chances of the athlete respecting and responding to the coach are much greater. Giving the athlete a feeling of belonging, importance, and welcoming will increase their confidence and most likely their level of play as well. In his article, Scales explains how developing positive relationships results in athletes not only with better athletic ability, but also with better emotional control, social skills, and connection to school and community (20). One of the most important characteristics of having a relationship with the athlete is caring for them. Florida Tech swim coach thinks the most important

To be a men’s head coach then having experience in the sport you are coaching is very helpful. You can understand the student so much more when you have been in their position. You need to help each student, and be there by their side every step of the way. Every team is going to be successful at times. To be a successful team you have to put in the

A person must have specific knowledge of the sport they desire to coach, because they have many duties that come with their job. “One of the main duties of the Coach is to put together a team of the best athletes available in the specific sport” (Field, 2012, p.115). Coaches and athletes both want to be successful. This is why one of the main duties of a coach is to pick the top players out of high school. It is hard to be successful if a team does not have the proper athletes. A coach’s duties will vary depending on the size of the school. At a small school a college coach could be responsible for not only coaching but also recruiting, scouting, finance of the team, and much more, while at a larger school a coach may have their own departments for each of those duties. The main focus of a college coach is to prepare his or her players

It is important for the athletic directors and other authoritative figures in men’s basketball to strive for a common goal and establish a better sense balance among those in the basketball environment by changing the contradicting expectations and policies of the NCAA. Some say basketball players have been taken advantage of for far too long and ask “how much longer are universities willing to wait [the] before students see them as a threat and an aid to the issue rather than a source of education and athletic support”? Neglecting the issue has only postponed its significance to emerge as more relevant. By helping address this issue with urgency will allow the players to feel acknowledged and help create a solution for everyone’s benefit to the issue at

As a coach, the purpose is to prepare the athletes for life on and off the field. It is important to demand the best from myself by being true to oneself. The coaching style would define myself would be a mix of commanding and Co-operative coaching style. As a coach, I expected the athletes know what is expected of them. The goals of the team need to be Mutual with a clear and firmly set. I will allow the Athletes involved in decision-making and goal-setting. The athletes need to be able to make decision when they are playing the game or drill. I will demand good teams with the organization and when making game day decision for formation.

Coach P was not a competent leader when he handled the two rowing teams, but is more like a manager who focused on tasks like organizing rowers and just train them. The downfall of varsity’s performance can be attributed to four aspects of Coach P’s inappropriate

The coach will portray that mistakes are not acceptable and the athletes should make as little mistakes as possible. The coach will also show that he/she does not have patience for the athletes that cannot pick up the skills quickly. The coach will condition them if they make mistakes. The coach will have a very loud strong voice, demanding, and intimidating attitude. The coach will enforce fundamentals and skills that the athlete will need to be successful in the sport.

1. Based on the preceding description, the key personality traits that the head coach possesses is dominance and affiliation. The head coach displays dominance by the way she demonstrates her power over the assistant coach and how she acts during disagreements. The head coach is the type of person in a conversation to speak over everyone to get her point across while also being assertive in her responses. Her assertiveness could come off to others as proud and authoritative.

My topic is similar to yours. I have always been intrigued to examine the relationship between coach and athlete. In my experience, I have found coaches who provide positive support and are constructive with their criticism are more enjoyable to play for and give the athlete a more positive experience. Coaches that come across as condescending seem to push kids away from the game. It is important that the student-athlete has a positive experience, especially student-athletes at a young age. I feel if a student-athlete has a negative experience at the interscholastic level he or she will be less likely to stick with the sport.

Winning is every coach or player's main goal in any sport or in life. Although winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing. Coaches spend countless hours preparing for a big game and this builds up the fear of a loss. No one wants to lose after you dedicate hours upon hours on the court and in the books scouting and preparing for a game. Therefore, winning becomes the only option for you and your team. Throughout this persuasive essay, dedication, toughness, and ** will explain why “winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”

In viewing the skill approach path, I found that Coach Krzyzewski displayed problem solving techniques with his players, social judgment and knowledge of the work process. Coach Krzyzewski, developed a relationship behavior with his players in which they felt comfortable with him Mr. Krzyzewski worked as a team with his players, he did not treat them as if they were put under him. He stayed focus on his role, which was to lead him players to victory. He did not want to be a manger; he wanted to be a leader. Krzyzweski also displayed task behaviors, he encouraged his team and to accomplish every goal they set out to do (Northouse, 2004). Mr. Krzyzewski also displayed the Consideration and Initiating Structure because he was considerate of other’s feelings. In viewing Blake and Mouton’s Managerial Grid, Krzyzewski is a Team Manager because he focuses on building participation and support for a shared purpose.
