Performance Coaching Experience Paper

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

At their finest, coaches perfect their player’s flaws to push them to their potential ability, improve their skills, and create determination within the team. They can expand the importance of such a sport to intensify motivation and the value of good sportsmanship for the sake of not only their reputation, but the outcome that comes from it. Coaches must not lag when it comes to hardships that comes about; they must stay connected. The closer the connection between a player and a coach the better they are moving forward and continuing on the love of the sport and job.

It is my job as a coach to help develop athletes physically, psychologically, and socially while helping them have fun by playing a sport. I will do this by being enthusiastic and having a positive attitude in practice, games, and while not coaching. This cooperative approach to coaching will create a sense of community within the team I coach, and the athletes will feel more welcome to discuss their thoughts, ideas, questions, and concerns with me. Creating this setting and relationships with athletes will only benefit the team by creating a team culture necessary for the well-being and success of high school sports’ teams. Success in sports means accomplishing goals set by the team, not winning. Winning is important, but just striving to win is even more vital toward the success of teams. As a coach, I will also be a motivator for athletes. Athletes will see me come to practice with a positive attitude, displaying my passion. This is the beginning of how I will motivate athletes. Motivation starts with my attitude, and athletes pick up on this. In order to motivate and want to be motivated, there must be a reason, a why? I will use the teams’ goals they will set, in order to motivate them to give their best effort in order to achieve success by reaching their

Finally, outside influence plays a key role in determining athletic success. Athletes must be motivated to push away negative influences, peer pressure and what others want. It’s important to have a good coach who cares about the athlete’s success and hones his skills. Coaches can mold an athlete’s physical and mental maturity and play a critical role in helping develop the athlete while putting them in a better position to handle success.

To satisfy my curiosity and gain a broad understanding of athletic training, I chose to interview my boss, Pete Stevens. Pete is employed by Physiotherapy Associates, a nationwide corporation that specializes in physical/occupational therapy, athletic training, and fitness/sports training. He has worked there for three years. He is currently the Head

In the recent years, athletic training has grown exponentially and has adapted to find its role in many other areas of practice settings, such as dance, military branches, and in physical rehabilitation facility centers across the nation.

It’s Monday, August 22, 2016. The time is 4:00 a.m. The first of five alarms began to sound in my ear. Snooze. Second alarm sounds. Snooze. The snooze button is my friend until I realize I cannot afford to sleep another minute. I grudgingly get out of bed and start my morning routine. The time is 4:30 a.m. I get into my car and drive through the pitch-black morning. I arrive to the Michael S. Starnes Athletic Training Center at 4:45 am. My semester long internship begins. For the 2016 Fall semester, I had the opportunity to do a volunteer practicum through the Ole Miss Strength and Conditioning department under some of the best strength and conditioning coaches. This event, rather experience, was an eye opener into the real world.

There are an endless amount of things that contribute to our development as individuals and who we are to become. From big events in our lives such as going off to college, getting married, or staring our careers to even the simplistic things such as reading a book or attending a lecture each can leave a lasting impression. One contributor many individuals might not think about when discussing this topic is the role that exercise or sports performance has played in their lives.

The winter season can be a time for some athletes at Perry to focus on preparation for the spring sports season. The springtime for athletics at Perry is shining time of the year filled with memorable performances and a few Far East Championships. With the weather dropping into the 30’s players are forced to enter the weight room for their training regiments. The work that is put in during the offseason when nobody is watching will play dividends on the field in February. With the tasks of training on your own, one must have a clear vision of where they are at currently and the improvements they wish to accomplish before they start their respective spring sports.

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.

Each element is designed and intended for different purpose. Each elements serves its own purpose and one may be more effective than the other, depending on the situation. Based on my own personality and what I want to accomplish in organizational coaching I feel that problem defining and goal setting would be the most effective. In the professional/ organizational world identifying the problem is very important, once its identified its important to set a reasonable goal. I think that they are more result driven in the organizational realm than other kinds of coaching. There is often a time limit and they desperately need a result as soon as possible. One thing to consider is there is often more than one party involved, for example an

Performance profiling is used in many sports and has been found to enhance coach-athlete communication by enabling the coach to understand how the athlete currently feels about their training or performance. This information has been found to assist the coach in the development of training sessions that take into account the athlete’s perspective.

What makes champions in sport? At the end of the day, it is the moment when one stands at the top of the podium, holding up their well-deserved medals and trophies that all elite athletes strive for. Thus, experts have studied this question extensively to see which programs, or by what means, are elite athletes developed to achieve this goal. One of the many aspects to athlete development is the controversial topic of deliberate practice versus deliberate play. Deliberate practice can be defined as “any training activity (a) undertaken with the specific purpose of increasing performance, (b) requiring cognitive and/or physical effort, and (c) relevant to promoting positive skill development” (Cote et al., 2007, p. 185) On the
