Nine Legal Duties

On Saturday November 4th, I visited Maine South High School to observe the athletic training room facility. I had emailed the Head Athletic Trainer, Jerry Bornhoff prior to my attendance to make sure I was allowed to shadow him for the day. A Maine South football game was scheduled for the afternoon, and the facility was packed with football players. Throughout the time I was there, I made sure I noted the whole process of an athlete from when they first arrived and when they left the training room facility.

Close supervision: Provide close, continuous supervision of the activity. The coach should be available and accessible, alert athletes of potential dangers and take precautions. Have an emergency action plan in place.

As a gymnastics coach the most important thing that you must acquire not only from your athletes, but also from your co-workers is their trust. When your athlete is preforming a more complex skill where more can go wrong you need more than one spotter or person to help so nothing goes wrong. When working with other coaches you both have to be in sync and be ready in two different places so neither of the skills goes wrong and if one does go wrong both coaches will be there to make sure the athlete does not get hurt. There is a mutual trust between athlete and coach where if the coach loses the athletes trust that athlete will not perform in the same way ever again. Every event in gymnastics is based off of floor, and weather as a coach if you

This is the most critical aspect of what a coach should do. If a team truly believes they can win a championship, a coach needs to hone athletes in on a daily basis and really get them to focus on being the best and staying the best. There should be no room for error and a coach should always have them doing things to improve. I know that every championship team I have been on has been pretty strict. This only works if everyone “buys in.” But like I said before, if a team truly believes they can achieve big things, they all will be focused on the goal. My coaches have always pushed everyone on a daily basis and made practice environments competitive and challenging. They did this so that we could relate practice to a game situation and when the time came, we’d already have overcome it. This also applies to me wanting to be a physical therapist because if an athlete truly wants to get back on the field, the structure I need to provide for them needs to be challenging, but still a careful environment. This will prove to the athlete that I am here for the same reasons he or she is and really get them interested and believing in what I have to say. Structure is important for injury also because as an athlete, you still think that you are invincible and can do the things that you once did before you got hurt. Lastly, structure also is important due to the fact that when you

The primary responsibility of the athletic trainer will be the physical well-being of all student-athletes. Other duties include but are not limited to the following: Provide

I think when you are training an athlete in your program it’s important that you have a relationship with your athletes that make them trust that what you teach them ultimately improve their performance. When training an athlete as a coach you need to understand how identify their personal feelings, moods, and their free time all contributes to their performance and potential overtraining. I can recall one of my 300m Hurdler when we had to implement some strategies because of him overtraining during the season. As a staff we had to monitor his practice efforts along with the mileage of training on a weekly basis. This athlete was trying to practice two times a day during the season. Once we had to come up with a plan for him he began to

When you look at greatest sports groups, how frequently would you pay attention to the trainer? Should you spend some time finding different coaches, you'll find many various ways that they go about their build. There are the mad, vocal coaches, those who will cry at and berate their players when they make a mistake, right there for all to see. They won't offer much

Table of Potential Observation Criteria and BenchmarksFor supervisors without an extensive athletics background, certain questions and observations could be instituted that are common to classroom learning experiences and tomany team sport activities. These include: Educational Benchmarks:Has the supervisor met with the coach in advance of a practice to gain understanding of:1.the terminology that will be used; the structure of the practice?2.the age and skill level of thestudents?3.the objectives of the coaching staff at that point in the season?As a preparatory learning experience for the supervisor, the coach might show a game film and illustrate the various fundamentals, terminology, formations, and other sport-specific information.At

The duty to instruct properly contains instructing athletes concerning moves that are unsafe and unsportsmanlike, are against the rules, and are used to possibly injure an opponent. In coaching, don’t send a player to the mound and tell the player to look at the ball and hit a home run. Coaches must practice with players on techniques and videos to insure the player know what they are to be looking for. To achieve these goals, set up a progressive series of practices. The component of progression includes the ability of the coach to instruct each skill level using a progression that moves from simple to complex. Throughout the planning process, coaches should be studying successful lead-up techniques that can be used for their sport and adjusting them, if need be, to meet the needs of individual athletes.

he Public Sector within the United Kingdom is accountable to the Government, and consequently the electorate, for the funding provided by the public purse to deliver services according to the current legislation and guidance defined by Acts of Parliament and the prevailing Government. The constraints of this finite resource could be said to increase the imperative on the Public Sector to achieve value for money and optimum solutions in the delivery of services whilst responding to the potential impact of successive Government political ideologies. There has been a Statutory Duty for the Public Sector to achieve this value for money, termed as Best Value, since 1999, Hunter (2006) andthe Literature Review describesa number of sources of information

A coach should be well organised and sessions set up with a clear objective in mind. If he has all of this then his session will be more efficient and run more smoothly. If the training session is well organised in time slots it means that he will have a rough idea of how long the session he will have and whether he can adapt it in

A Physical Education teacher has the responsibility of promoting physical activity safely inside and outside of school. The safety of the students performing the physical activities directed by the instructor is important to prevent injuries. The PE teacher must instruct his or her students on how to correctly perform correct techniques when performing athletic exercises or sports. Preventing major and minor injuries should always been on the mind of the PE teacher. It is important that the teacher meets the needs of all students, especially those who are not athletically gifted. Having everybody in the class participate in any sort of athletic

The first stage of any coaching process is to plan the session, taking into who is being coached, account the age range of the participants, aims and objectives of the session, the facilities / equipment that will be required for the session and what your own motivations are for the coaching session. This may also involve a risk assessment for the activity (either a formal risk assessment or a dynamic risk assessment undertaken during the session.

There is an inherent risk of injury in sport participation. In order to safely, quickly, and effectively deal with the possible injuries this risk may bring, an emergency action plan is needed. The staff involved in overseeing participants must know their roles in emergency situations, as well as proper procedure and protocols in order to provide quality care. An emergency action plan is essential in order to insure timely care in potentially life threatening situations and medical emergencies.

I will give credit for successes to coaches, and take responsibility when things do not go well. As the athletic director it is my job to make sure staff is well trained, capable, and competent. If for some reason they fail to perform their job in the expected manner, it is my responsibility to insure that they receive further direction and training so they will perform up to standards.
