Leadin Leading: Appropriate Leadership In Professional Soccer

Leadership is a crucial quality in both academic and corporate settings. The leader acts as an anchor of the team. He sets direction, builds an inspiring vision, and monitors the work process. Leadership can be built since young ages, which often started in an academic environment. Every group project demands a leader to help smooth out the activity, which include my ENGL 202D group project. Everyone in the team designates Stefan Horgas to be the team’s leader because he is a part of the Ice Lions club and has a deep knowledge in ice hockey field. Stefan perfectly performs his role as a leader. He not only creates and sends out work documents, but also verifies and answers any club’s related questions. His actions made the team operate efficiently

Within any successful team, you will find leaders, it need not be the manager, and it doesn’t have to be the same person all the time, you only have to look at any successful sports team to see that there are numerous leaders and within the team each person knows the role they have to perform at any set moment and can change as the situation needs. This has been well explained in the Belbin Team Architecture.

During my first season of competitive travel soccer I thought I had been blessed with an amazing coach. His name was Kenrick Ramirez. Kenrick was from Trinidad and Tobago and had a thick caribbean accent that at first I could not understand. I was intrigued by Kenrick’s personality because he was so much different than the other typical soccer coaches I had had my whole life. He seemed to know everything like he was the soccer god. Unfortunately, none of

Over the course of this semester my view on leadership has changed many times. In the beginning of this class I thought the only real definition of leadership came from the dictionary. Then we wrote our leadership lens part 1 and my view changed. I changed my definition of leadership to a person that has the ability to bring people together to make a change or to make a situation better for everyone. Now while writing this leadership lens part 2 and having finished this class my definition of leadership has changed once again. Now my definition of leadership is that leadership is in everyone it just shows at different times. Throughout this class my view on leadership has changed so much because we’ve done so many different activities and

This paper shows the different leadership styles and how it can affect the team results. both the leaders try to motivate the team, one tries to motivate them extrinsically and the other one intrinsically. The paper says there is no right or wrong style of leadership, but a true leader motivates others to develop those leadership qualities in them and do better. This paper gives a description of the coaches and the team players who showed leadership qualities even in the most difficult situations because they knew that their team needs them. It also describes the contribution on these players in their victory. They forgot their difference and played as a team.There were no

I believe that qualities such as work ethic and leadership are not innate but are developed. Starting from middle school to high school, football has helped me strengthen my resilience and work ethic. From waking up at 5:45 in the morning every day for workouts to giving my all during games, football has showed me that only hard work and perseverance can accomplish your goals. My goals are to be the first in my family to attend college and to have a successful future career. Both of these can only be accomplished by hard work and football has instilled in me a strong work ethic to help me achieve my goals. There are many aspects that make up leadership, aspects like being accountable, open-minded, and resourceful. Starting the Interact Club

Leadership and coaching go hand in hand in many ways because to coach is to lead, and to lead is to coach others. Indeed, leaders and coaches, whatever the title are really mentors within the context of a particular organization or activity. For centuries, scholars and philosophers alike have been trying to find a specific and complete definition for coaching and leadership, but have not had much success. True, leadership is, in part, decision making at the nth level; while coaching takes that decision making and often compartmentalizes it into split-second action (Rhodes, J., et al. 2000). In the era of gloablization, this has become even more critical now that there are so many divergent cultural opportunities that require new skills, approaches, and even that allow coaching to occur not just in the physical environment, but in the virtual as well, with no regard for geographic or political boundaries (Drucker, P.F., et al. 2001).

Soccer is the players' game. The paramount concern of coaches is the holistic development, welfare, enjoyment and safety of their players.

The 2016-2017 JV and Varsity PRHS Girls Soccer Team is composed of 31 young student-athletes that tried out for the teams, endured a disorganized and unfair elimination/selection process, only to find out that was just the beginning of that was to be what some players describe as a "miserable" season. Although most players maintain their commitment and focus, attended their practices, and showed up to their games determined to play their best, their head coach did NOT. The answers to the questions in this survey, describe an egotistical head coach who is lazy, immature, and bickers with his players. Such leadership is not based on respect and mutual trust, unfortunately, it led to moments of chaos, and discontent within the team, in which poor

I had played for this coach’s club team for eight years and he had recently become my high school's varsity coach. For years, I had started every game as a central defender. My teammates have always recognized me as a leader. I explained to the coach why I was qualified to be co-captain. He dismissed my argument, stating he was looking for people who “would create a stronger bond off the field.” For him, effective leadership equals social popularity.

Organizational control is defined as the systematic process through which managers regulate organizational activities to meet planned goals and standards of performance (p.628). In an organization, control is needed to ensure that the organization runs smoothly. Saverio Todaro who is a licensed safety inspector made a confession in the federal court in New York. He claimed that he had submitted clean asbestos and lead test of hundreds of buildings, even though he himself has never performed a single test (p.627). This is an example of lack of control in an organization. An example that I have of an attempt of control that has been a little more than an illusion is from my experience of coaching high school soccer. Usually after every game,

The topic discussed throughout the chapter’s reading is something that is extremely relevant in today’s coaching world. It is also something that is very controversial. I feel like there were some very good points made on each side of the discussion. However, in the coaching world, I feel as though a person will never satisfy. As talked about in the reading, not all parents will be happy. There are times when a coaching incident will happen that will upset some parents, but make some happy. Even if this so-called organization was a club sport, it needs to make changes to be successful. Playing the best players on a team to win games/matches is part of a sport, let alone part of daily life. It is not about how much playing time a person

Borland, J. F., Kane, G. M., & Burton, L. J. (n.d.). Sport leadership in the 21st century.

Every good team, whether in sports or business became that way because of having a coach to provide direction and support in good times and bad. Becoming an effective leader to your team means that you will need to become comfortable with your own personal coaching style and become confident in your ability to lead a team to instill confidence in your team members. Not everyone is a natural born coach, but by being an effective leader and being able to effectively champion the members of your team, you should see improvement in performance. Simply put, being a good coach means helping others perform better by helping them improve their existing skills, correcting poor performance, or developing new skills to bring them to higher achievement levels.

Concerning Alex Ferguson style, he has been using encouragement and enthusiasm as motivation methods. In fact, Ferguson has been known as the greatest motivator in the modern football times. To illustrate his cheerleading feature, in 1999, during the European Cup final, he indicated to his team “at the end of this game, the European cup will be only three feet away from you and you will not be able to touch it if we lose” (Alex Ferguson, 1999). Furthermore, as a leader he has been very demanding and always expecting a 100% from his players since he believes that hard-work is the key of success: “I think it is important to work and I’m entitled to work, some
